Eat. Drink. Live.
A few years back, we were members of several Long Island wine clubs. Once a quarter, the wineries would ship us 3-4 bottles of exclusive wine, meant for club customers. This Sculpture Garden from Channing Daughters is among the last […]
Clam Bar at Napeague has the best damn lobster roll on the whole island. Lots and lots of lobster. Just the right amount of mayo. Just a wee bit of celery, diced tiny. And a soft, chewy bun. Nothing better. […]
We took the book club discussion to the beach this year with Willa Cather’s ‘O Pioneers!’ Gregory led the discussion, which was also attended by Larry, Linda, Sarah, Lizzie RW, Boo and Kelli. After the discussion, we enjoyed more wine […]
A trip to Amgansett would not be complete without a meal at Clam Bar. This time, we ordered oysters, steamers and, of course, the lobster roll. Vacation #selfie (or, as all the kids are calling it these days, #ussie): Montauk […]

The rain was predicted for the whole day Wednesday, so we packed the kids in the car and took an adventure to the North Fork. Mostly because the ferry ride would be part of the adventure! Morning board games: Cousins! […]
The weather is still crappy but we mix some G&Ts, get out some board games for the kids, and then head to the beach with jackets on. Lounging children: The red bag of wine. Related posts: Beach! Amagansett Day […]
A morning walk, a bit of pool time and getting ready for happy hour. Cherries for breakfast: Ready for this evening: Our deck: It’s no Deuce, but it’ll do. Ocean Colony: Pool time with Daddy: Hanging at the pool. Related […]
SCF fans are familiar with the scene. Beach and pool during the day, an early supper, then back to the beach for sunset and wine. Even with some crappy weather, and a big group of friends, it’s no different this […]
We discovered a new favorite unit at Amagansett, and plan to rent it again next year. Two bedrooms, an open kitchen, a big living room and a private deck with an outdoor shower. All terrific. We’ll miss you, The Deuce! […]
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, […]
Day four at the beach was rather a wash-out, so we headed into town to get the makings for a dinner at the unit. Gorgeous seafood, gorgeous produce, beautiful bread and lots more. A terrific market all around. Related posts: […]
Mae, Sam and Jane, ready to head to the beach. Cuties! Related posts: Photos from Day One of the Beach: Amagansett! Pizza with Cousins! At the Beach, Day and Night Cousins!

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 […]
Today, Greg and I went to the lighthouse at Montauk. All these years and I’d never been inside. Well, we didn’t climb it. Are you kidding? But we did have a nice day out and about. We started out with […]
Here are a few photos from an afternoon spent relaxing on the beach in Amagansett. One of the most beautiful places on the planet. Related posts: Back at the Beach Lettie’s Beach on the North Fork Clam Bar at Napeague […]
We arrived in Amagansett, dropped off our bags and headed across the street to our favorite lunch spot, Clam Bar. Greg got his favorite sandwich, the grilled tuna. It comes with local tomatoes and is out of this world: Related […]
We had a grand old time celebrating the grand old flag at Lettie’s on Independence Day. We grilled. Drank wine. And laughed. Tons. Related posts: Supper: Hickory Smoked Chicken and AB’s Baked Beans Rose Blind Tasting: Which Long Island Wine […]

Louisa, a friend of Lettie’s, invited us to a poolside picnic for lunch on July Fourth. We got to have a nice swim and admire her lovely view of farmland. Related posts: Rose Blind Tasting: Which Long Island Wine Will […]
We’d been to Love Lane Kitchen once before — and adored it. Now was our chance to go for dinner. With Lettie, who’d become a regular since moving out to the North Fork last October. It’s a homey, comfortable place […]
Lettie knows how much we love the Wolffer rose. But she had a feeling we might like another Long Island rose, too. To prove her point, she bagged up a couple of bottle and poured them for us. A blind […]
I don’t know the real name of this beach, but it’s right down the block from Lettie’s place, and we enjoyed a bit of sun and fun there: Related posts: No related posts.
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.
