Eat. Drink. Live.
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 […]

We hadn’t seen each other in AGES! So Marissa came over to Nyack for a meal. We met at the Brickhouse, but it was too loud to catch up, so after our drink there, we went to our old friend, […]
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 […]
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: […]
A treat! Trae was in town! And indeed, he’s moving to town, so he’ll be here even more often! We couldn’t be more thrilled to hear that Trae found a job and will be moving to New York sooner than […]

Marissa and I met for sips and snacks at BU 8, a new gastropub in White Plains. I’m loving the concept — upscale twists on bar food — but I think the execution needs a little work yet. Dirty Chips, for […]
After Sam’s christening, we came back to SCF for a small buffet lunch. I’m still learning how to balance being a mom, a hostess and a blogger, so you’ll forgive me that there aren’t many good photos. We’ll get there […]

After the Goatherd book club meeting, Boo stayed at the farm — “her country house” — for the weekend. We didn’t take many photos, but we hit the lake, did a little yoga, and took Boo to Carson’s grave for […]
Wild Card Saturday has become a decade-long tradition. It started back in 2002 in our apartment on Burd Street with the Snow Bowl: New England Patriots v. Oakland Raiders during a big-ass snowstorm. It has turned into an annual gathering […]
