We celebrated Grandmom’s birthday with a supper in the orchard: pork, corn and Doris’ cucumber salad. We had a plum cake to finish. An end-of-summer meal if ever there was one. Related posts: Grandmom’s Birthday Dinner For Mother’s Day, Grandmom’s […]
A simple supper with Grandmom’s favorite dish as the centerpiece. A few daffodils and a nice glass of wine — how could you go wrong? Happy Mother’s Day. Related posts: Christmas Dinner at the Farm 2010: Tamales, Hibiscus Margies, Baba […]

After spending the afternoon at Grandmom’s apartment, the family went out for an early supper: pizza at the Mountain House. The pizza there is as good as you’ll find anywhere. Really thin crust, nice sauce. And the service is friendly. […]
We didn’t have a morning present exchange this year. Instead, Mom and Leigh went to brunch and the three of us headed to Rockland Lake (for the third day in a row!) for a nice winter walk. We met back […]

At first, it was just roasted chicken and mashed potatoes. But then we added some Brussels sprouts. And some roasted butternut squash with sage and thyme. Lo and behold — we had a mini-Thanksgiving on our hands: Best part? We […]

We had the folks over for burgers on Sunday night. It was still so hot that we moved the table into the shade of the garage and put the umbrella out. We ate by the apple tree and the grapevine. […]
