Eat. Drink. Live.
Sarah and Wilson and the girls arrived late on Boxing Day. We’ll open the presents tomorrow. Today, Mae and Jane just really want to meet “baby cousin.” And after the kids went to bed, Sarah had some alone time with […]
Another in the many family dinners of the summer of 2011!
It was so hot we had to pull a fan up for comfort. But there you have it. Les Gilberts, les Holts and Sarah and the girls, for a fun burger supper. It was fun to set up a […]
Another perfect Tuesday night in summer.
A cucumber cocktail started us off, then we served easy-peasy supper: heated up sloppy Joe’s, procured at Sheppard Mansion’s shop and made from raised-right beef. Blueberry cobbler, too. A good supper indeed.
After our return from Pleasantville, we meandered around the garden, and Jane proceeded to eat nearly every berry we grow!
A few pics from our trip to one of the best markets around. 17
We’ll get back to food in just a moment folks. Indulge me in one more round of fun photos from the lake. (Don’t forget, the motto of SCF is “Eat. Drink. Live.” We’re doing some living!) Swimming with Wilson, Sarah, […]
There’s nothing quite like the stillness of the lake just before sunset. So on both Wednesday and Thursday, we ate super-early and were able to take a dip in the water and a nice spin around the lake before dark. […]
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 […]
After a few days of trying and ending up skies akimbo with mouthfuls of water, Alexis finally mastered waterskiing. She took her first spin on Thursday morning, July 7, 2011, and went all around Sale Creek further than we experienced […]
The Waggoners were up a lot earlier than the rest of us one morning, and decided to go up to the top of the hill to pick blackberries from the briar. They came home with a bundle. Mae’s already a […]
Greg smoked ribs and chicken and Wilson prepared a fireworks show. The rest of us enjoyed the fruits of their labors.
Jane relaxes on the lounge chair before her breakfast is served.
We met my folks after church for some Tex-Mex eggs and tortillas. quite liked my chilaquiles. Though no one had a breakfast margarita.
It being fall in New York, we figured it was time to get pumpkins. Mae is a very good pumpkin-picker-outer.
Each year during October, Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson sets up thousands of Jack O’Lanterns on its property. It really is a sight.
Supper didn’t turn out quite as we’d hoped at Umami in Croton-on-Hudson. We got there just 10 minutes after Kelli and Patrick, but weren’t able to get our dinners in time before we had to leave for the Great Jack-o’-Lantern […]
A family get-together in the orchard, with the Ranchers, Grandmom, Boo, Sarah and the girls. We had a cornucopia of supper vegetables and a grilled pork chop on top:
When Sarah and I got back from our big day of fun — seeing Memphis on Broadway and having a jaw-droppingly good lunch at Nougatine — we weren’t prepared for yet another entertainment extravaganza! But as soon as we walked […]
Another family meal together, but this time, we made it easy on ourselves, it being a school night and all. Take out from our favorite wing place, Bon Chon:
Sarah went out to brunch and Wilson, Greg and I minded the kids for the afternoon. We did a little baking and a little planting and all was well.
Joining us in the orchard for a visit with the Waggoners and the Ranchers are Kelli and Patrick! Welcome, kids.
Sarah and the girls are in town for their annual summer trip! Mom can’t get enough of Jane: For our first course, we had the Cold Pink Soup.
Jessica and Kelly hosted the whole family for dinner on Friday night, including Sarah and Mae and Jane, and Kelly’s brother and sister-in-law Brady and Karen and their two girls. You might say it was a family reunion of sorts.
Sarah and the girls and I headed to Frank, the artisan hot dog place in Austin, for lunch on Thursday. All in all, good food. But something about the atmosphere was a little annoying. For one thing, it was super-loud. […]
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.
