Eat. Drink. Live.
Bourbon! Seafood! Bacon! Yes, that’s Maysville, a Southern restaurant with New York style. We met for dinner before seeing Bradley Cooper in The Elephant Man on Broadway (great show). Eric and Boo: Me and Heather: Horse art: Hay-roasted oystes with […]
A great workout with beautiful views this Saturday morning: a 12-mile bike ride around the bay at Springs. Create Maps or Search for a route from millions at MapMyRide The gang: A stop at the Pollack-Krasner house. On our way […]
Day one at the beach was a bit windy, but we set ourselves up with an umbrella barrier and made the best of it. Related posts: At the Beach, Day and Night At the Beach in Amagansett Day Two Beach […]
And, for our finale: We close the summer movie season out with a classic: Dazed & Confused. Irene, Boo and Catherine joined us for steak on the grill, corn, tomato salad and a peach gallette, which Samantha helped make. Figs, […]
Kelli and Patrick’s friends Jeff and Debbie threw a lovely goodbye party for the OD’s on Saturday. A lovely setting, warm people and delicious food. A fitting farewell for our friends. Here are a few pics. Related posts: Supper at […]
Piermont just may have become the restaurant capital of Rockland. Adding to the already excellent list of restaurants there — Xaviars, Freelance, o lar, Sidewalk Bistro and Portofino, just to name a few — is the new 14 and Hudson. […]
A last hurrah while the cousins are here. The season’s first BLTs, plus a classic favorite movie: ‘Airplane.’ Sondra, Leigh, Kelli, Patrick, Boo and Irene join us for dinner. The BLT! It was excellent. Related posts: BLTs on the […]
Boo and I took a bike ride along the rail trail down to Piermont and back, and vowed to do it at least once every summer from now on. And we also vowed to take a selfie at the Piermont […]
We set up the projector on a bed sheet in the living room and watched the game in style! For our indulgent eats? Queso con chorizo and chicken wings with homemade ranch. Recipes coming soon. Meantime, here are the photos […]
Heading downtown for pancakes, labne, a Magritte rice bowl and some good times with a groundhog. There was a wait for a table at Art Cafe, so we headed next door to the library to bide our time. Boo with […]
We went to lunch with Arnie and Bette at The Cabin, a local spot near their new home in Valhalla. Happy Thanksgiving, Bette and Arnie! The food was nothing to write home about, and the service was, at the end, […]
After Thanksgiving, we let someone else do the cooking. Namely, Kevin, over at Roost. Tessa colors with Sam: She-Crab Soup: Roasted Cauliflower: Brussels Sprouts: Salmon: Mussels: Big-ass pork chop: Delicious, as always. And, back at home, with drinks and football: […]
SCF fans will notice I’ve fallen a bit behind in my posts lately! I promise to catch up soon with Jessica’s visit to the Farm, Samantha’s birthday, a couple of trips to some great restaurants (including The Parlor in Dobbs […]
A little wood-fired pizza before a little absurdist theater? Not absurd at all. Irene, Kris, Boo and me… and a couple of Margheritas. Delishy, and lots of fun. The play? Glad to have seen it, with some of the best […]
Celebrating Hunna’s birthday at one of our favorite places with two of our favorite people: Boo and Sarah. The pizza, as usual, was outstanding. A wonderful, light, airy crust. Proscuitto and arugual topping: Sarah and Boo! Goat cheese fritters: Fennel […]
Book club meets infrequently enough that Sarah has been able to particpate in the last two gatherings. For this October edition, she was the proctor for Tenth of December by George Saunders, which, on Jan. 3, 2013, was called, in […]
The weather was iffy, but as dinner time rolled around, it became apparent that we’d be able to screen SCF’s first “first run” film of the season. (If you can call a DVD release a first run!) Tasha supplied The […]
Are you tired of BLTs and Caprese salad yet? Good. Neither are we. Here’s a look at more delishy summer food. Fun weekend! Related posts: Sunday Night Supper Sunday Night Supper Sunday Night Pasta Supper Sunday Night Supper at […]
In The Filling Station on 9W in Palisades, we have a world-class hamburger stand not 10 minutes from the farm. And since we were all nursing a bit of a hangover after our late-night movie escapades — what? you’re not […]
You couldn’t ask for a more perfect summer evening. Mild temperatures, warm breeze, cold margaritas and a hot dog supper with a caprese salad and corn on the cob. Plus, we debut Sour Cherry Farm theater. With our new crisp, […]
Our final night in Amagnsett. It was too rainy to spend magic hour at the beach, so we had a little dance party USA with the girls while making dinner. More of those photos to come from Sarah and Laurie, […]
Wherein we drink rose and turn innocent seagulls who happen to be passing by into Ratzo Rizzo from ‘Midnight Cowboy.’ “I”m walkin’ here!” Related posts: Day Two Beach Photos: Amagansett! Photos from Day One of the Beach: Amagansett! At the […]
We thought the day was going to be a washout. Not only did the sun come up, we ended the day with a beautiful moonrise, too. The new outlook reminded Hunna of a poem by Robert Frost: Dust of Snow. […]
As is typical of our vacations, we started out with rain. But we eeked out a nice few hours on the beach, and were able to spend a nice evening on our ocean-view deck. Here are a few photos from […]
Boo and I went for a nice walk downtown to see the opening of the Dorothea Lange exhibit at the Hopper House. On the way, we stopped for a little brekky at Didier Dumas. Samantha quite enjoyed the croissants. Related […]
Before a performance of “Sontag: Reborn” at the New York Theater Workshop, Boo and I shared a few dishes at Gemma, her favorite go-to restaurant for when you don’t to think about where you want to go-to. It’s a cute […]
It’s a good day that starts with a parade and ends with a burger. Les Dorkages, waiting for the parade, where Kelsey Graham, a World War II vet, was grand marshall. Do you see the firetrucks, Sam? […]
It hasn’t yet been warm enough to dine on the new patio, but the Ranchers joined us to christen it with cocktails this evening. Aviations all around! For supper, we were serving smoked chicken, salad from the garden and […]
Hunna’s adopted hometown took the Super Bowl title this year against San Fran. I admit, I was only halfway watching. But Hunna’s wings and our homemade ranch and blue cheese dressings were killer. Not too much else to report this […]
Boo, Kelli and I took the kids for pancakes. And cappuccinos. For us, that is. Delishy, all. Related posts: Nyack Garden Club Plant Sale and a Breakfast at the Art Cafe Breakfast at Art Cafe Breakfast at the Art Cafe […]
