Eat. Drink. Live.
A Big Day of Fun for the cousins, with a trip to the Museum of the City of New York. We public transport there. Girls on the subway. Selfies. A.Ham. The Schuyler Sisters! Werk! Really cool City Lab. You can […]
Our Big Day of Fun in NYC centered around downtown this time. Federal Hall, Trinity Church, Eataly and Battery Park City for a viewing of the Statue of Liberty. George Washington at Federal Hall. The stone. Inauguration. Trinity Church. A.Ham. […]
Our big night out! Robinson Ale House for supper, then a stroll on the Boardwalk with the kiddos. Not too many photos from dinner, but here’s my salad! Slick with rain. The Arcade Museum was a huge hit. Family.
Just in from Texas: A big batch of homemade tamales! Laurie and her mom, Stella — whom SCF fans may remember from such recipes as Stella’s Potato Salad — made the tamales together and sent them up via FedEx. What a […]
A cousins day! First, a showing of the BFG, then supper at the Farm. Wow. When did tickets creep up to $16! It’s been a while, I guess. Mae playing pokemon: Grammy and the girls! Sarah, Jane, Lala! Home, trying […]
Tacos! An easy dinner at the ranch before Lala and Sarah head off to Broadway for a couple of days to see Hamilton! Good times.
For the evening’s outdoor movie, we tried a musical! Leah, Irene, Kris, Tom, Shannon and Tasha joined us, and we sang along, rather loudly, I must admit. By the time Sarah and Laurie joined us toward the end of the […]
An early supper at the Ranch with the cousins! Excuse the blur! Chicken, salad and bulgar salad:
Laurie, Sarah, Mae and Jane are up from Texas! And they timed their flight to be able to make the Tuesday night concert in the park. A hot evening: Lounging and relaxing: Cuties! Nyackians: The performance this evening was the […]
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!”
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 […]
An early supper at the ranch: takeout from Cassie’s and the last of this lettuce crop from Sour Cherry Farm. (More is on the way!) The cousins all sat together. Cuties. Laurie! No photos of Sondra, Leigh or Greg […]
A few leftover ribs, a watermelon salad and Laurie’s perfect rendition of Stell’as potato salad and we had the makings for supper at the club. We let the kids swim til they were blue, and spread a tablecloth over the […]
Sarah requested a revival of book club during her visit, so we all read Wiliam Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying, and Greg led the discussion. All were well edified, and well fed, too. We started with Greg’s pickled onions and […]
SCF fans may remember our last trip to Brooklyn Flea, where we learned that it draws bargain-hunters looking for cool clothes, beautiful furniture and handmade crafts and jewelry. Unless you’re us, of course. Then you go for the food. Red […]
Laurie and Sarah, hailing from Austin, where the temperature is in the 100s, were thrilled beyond belief that the heat broke — and they got to break out their sweatshirts. Here’s to chilly nights on the porch!
Folks, I promise to get back to cooking and recipes in a few posts. For now, indulge me in a few photos for posterity’s sake. Here’s the family having a few drinks after the evening’s round of game playing. Here’s […]
Greg cooked down a bunch of fresh, local tomatoes according to the recipe for The Sauce, then after it was tossed with penne, we topped the dish with fresh heirlooms and basil. And we served it with the hit of […]
Reading magazines, swimming, birdwatching, napping. These are the things you do by the lakeside in Tennessee. Right, Laurie?
Laurie and I went to see Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson on Broadway (we loved it!). So for our pre-theater meal, we headed around the corner from the theater to Danny Meyer’s famous Shake Shack — an off shoot of the […]
My husband, Greg, and I are co-founders of SCF, which chronicles what we eat, drink and grow as we raise our daughter on a tiny plot of land in the Lower Hudson Valley.
