Eat. Drink. Live.
Kelli came for a visit. I believe this is the first time Sam has served one of our guests a cocktail. Ah, the milestones. Leigh warms himself by the fire. Thoughtful conversation. Related posts: Kelli, Patrick, Spiedies and Dirty Harry […]
Kelli is visiting for the day, and despite the fact that I have no actual photos of Kelli herself, I did document our day, running around and having fun. A stop for charcuterie and Campbell Meats in Dobbs Ferry: A […]
Day 3 of paradise on the East End. First, a bike ride. Good morning, sunshine. Trees. Now, to the beach. Wine at 3. Boo, at cocktail hour. We pop over the Lunch for a lobster roll. And back to the […]
Still a bit cloudy, but nice enough for a walk over to the Art Barge. And a quick trip into town. Boo and Kelli play tennis. Friends. Cool weather costume. I’m walkin’ heah! Nice beach house. It’s getting warm, so […]

So lucky to have tickets to see the best musical to come to Broadway in years. Lin-Manuel Miranda is a genius, and this show is all that it’s hyped up to be. Go! Related posts: Silence! The Musical Bloody Bloody […]
A backyard supper with good friends and good food. Burgers, curried cucumbers and corn-zucchini salad. And chips, of course. Gotta have chips. Bon App’s blueberry-pecan galette for dessert. Delishy. Related posts: Supper with Marissa, Graham and Trae […]
Warning: there are an obscene amount of unedited photos in this post, so unless you have a vested interest (ie, you were there, I’m looking at you Kelli, Sarah and Boo) or you are very close family (that would be […]
Broadway goes uptown tonight: Kelli O’Hara stars in the King and I, showing at Lincoln Center’s Vivan Beaumont Theatre. Kelli, Boo, Mary and I attending, but Mary leaving before the photo session the courtyard. A wonderful evening all around. […]
Kelli and her crew were up visiting, and we caught up over a great brunch at The Cookery in Dobbs Ferry. The food there is so god damn good; I just wish I could get there more often. Sam and […]

I believe we’ve already mentioned the farm’s good friends Kelli and Patrick are moving to Virginia. We couldn’t be more sad. But we’ll hold on to these memories of a final summer supper and a showing of ‘Goonies.’ Here’s a […]
Kelli and I had dinner at the Dylan Lounge at X20 in Yonkers on Friday, and I’m happy to report that the food is as good as ever there. Jack Rose highball: A gin highball with Creme Yvette, sort of […]
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 […]
The floating oyster bar in NYC, Grand Banks, is docked off Pier 25 in TriBeCa at the west end of North Moore Street. The old schooner was retrofitted with two bars and tables, and serves oysters and a few small […]
Kelli and I celebrated our birthdays at the farm with mint juleps, double-cut pork chops and a fabulous birthday cake from Momofuku Milk Bar. Julep. (Recipe here.) We didn’t win the Derby, but the bourbon was good. Patrick and Kelli: […]
The East Pole is a new(ish) restaurant on the Upper East Side from the guys behind The Fat Radish and The LeadBelly. We chose brunch at The East Pole becuase it was only a few blocks from the Whitney, with […]
That’s right kid, it’s time for another BDoF. Kelli and Sarah are along, and we’ll be meeting Sondra and Leigh in a bit. But for now, our Big Day of Fun begins with a #selfie at Starbucks and a visit […]
Kelli, her kids and I took a walk around Rockland Lake Sunday. It was finally warm enough, at least for a day or two. So good to get outside! Afterwards, we hug around with Sam in the living room for […]
As I mentioned in my piece for lohud.com, fans of Buffet de la Gare can relax. Saint George, the new restaurant that took over the space where that venerable French spot was for 30 years, has settled in to the […]
The first braise of the season: our favorite brisket recipe, shared with a couple of our favorite people. It’s the kind of recipe you can pull together, even while you’re working. (OK, I was working at home, but still. It’s […]
For tonight’s dinner and a movie, Kelli and Patrick brought spiedies, delivered that afternoon by Mary Ellen from Lupo’s S&S Char Pit, and we screened Dirty Harry. (I’d never deen it!) Kel and Patrick: Getting the outdoor theater all set: […]

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. […]
Kelli and I met for drinks at MP Taverna. We split a lamb burger and a lump crab “risotto” that really wasn’t. But this evening wasn’t really about the food. It was about catching up. And it was good to […]
