Eat. Drink. Live.
I know what you’re thining. What? Sam hasn’t been to the library yet? I know! Crazy! She loves books! The children’s room at the Nyack Library has low shelves with lots of colorful books and puzzles and a few toys. […]
Boo, Kelli and I took the kids for pancakes. And cappuccinos. For us, that is. Delishy, all. Related posts: Nyack Garden Club Plant Sale and a Breakfast at the Art Cafe Breakfast at Art Cafe Breakfast at the Art Cafe […]
We were a little early for a party at the church this Saturday evening, so we took advantage of having a babysitter and enjoyed a cocktail at the bar at Barcel beforehand. A martini for him; a “Barcel Sidecar” for […]
One of our favorite annual events is the festival at the Russian Orthodox Church around the corner from the farm. The food is incredibly delicious: beef stroganoff, stuffed cabbage, borscht, and lots of other great stuff. Related posts: Lunch at […]
Wings, salads, you’ve seen those before. But here’s a new one: Samantha chewing on, well, I don’t even know what that is. Happy Election Day, all. Related posts: Election Night at O’D’s Samantha’s First Presidential Election Concert in the Park […]
A nice November morning, a spot of coffee in the brisk air. Good times. Related posts: Breakfast at Didier Lunch at Art Cafe in Nyack Outside at the Art Cafe on a Winter’s Day Breakfast at Art Cafe
Now that we’re back up with power here at the farm, here are a few photos from Sandy, mostly from around the neighborhood. We are so thankful that we didn’t suffer any damage. Our thoughts and prayers are with people […]

Karen, in to cover the UN, spent the night Friday, and we had a rollicking time on the porch with the neighbors. In the morning, we headed downtown for a walk and some eggs. Harry’s! Chicken tinga tacos for me! […]
The concert in the park nearly wasn’t this week. A band member was more than an hour late! But that didn’t stop us from enjoying our lovely supper of Asian Barbecued Chicken, Doris’ Cucumber Salad and Black Rice with Mango […]
Somehow, while Greg was hauling dirt out of our driveway, he also found time to make Sour Cherry Farm’s signature dish, Hickory Smoked Chicken. He also put together a salad, following my instructions via text. And wouldn’t you know it, […]
Well, she made it. I was surprised, but with only a little whimpering and a little rocking to sleep, Samantha made it through a supper of several courses of sushi. Yes, we sat down pretty early, but still! Tasha and […]
For our first picnic and concert of the 2012 season, Samantha fared very well indeed. It helps that other people love to take care of her. Thanks Kris! The menu was simple: chicken (Tom’s was excellent so we didn’t even […]
It’s been a long time since I’ve ridden my bike; I wasn’t allowed to when I was pregnant. And then it was winter. And I had a new baby. So it was lovely to have a maiden voyage Sunday down […]
For supper on Sunday night, Srimp and I headed down to the annual benefit for the Nyack Center, “Men Who Cook.” We had a ball trying all the different dishes — well, I did, anyway: she had milk. Here’s a […]
We packed Srimp into the stroller and went for a nice walk around town, looking at the homes of people who were kind enough to open them to support this annual fundraiser for The Historical Society of Nyack. Not a […]
The spring weather has arrived — at least temporarily. And so there I was, pruning the blueberries in the front with Sam in her newest neglect-a-tron — — and Tasha pops her head out the door. Feel like a cocktail? […]
How many times do you sit down with a brunch menu and say.. hmm? Breakfast or lunch? And then, once you say breakfast, you have to decide: Am I going sweet or savory. Well, nine times out of ten, I […]
On our first real day of springtime weather, Sam put on her best pink dress and went out and about Nyack with Greg. In preparation for book club that evening, he read The Little Prince to her, and she seemed […]
Finally! The neighbors and I hadn’t really seen each other since the holiday season, and we finally got a chance to catch up. We walked down to Wasabi and had a lovely supper of sushi and other delishy Japanese foods, […]
After church on Sunday, Sam, Mom, Leigh and I had some eggs, er, excuse me, heuvos, at Harry’s Burritos. My huevos rancheros: Related posts: Brunch with the Ranchers at Harry’s Burritos in Nyack Breakfast at City Limits Diner Lunch at […]
Yes, folks, it’s February. And we’re sitting outdoors at the Art Cafe, drinking delicious coffee and having a lovely lunch. Incredible. Related posts: Shakshooka at Art Cafe in Nyack Back at the Art Cafe in Nyack Breakfast at Art Cafe […]
Apparently there’s a new chef at the Hudson House. I haven’t called to get the scoop on his name or credentials, but from the few things Irene and I tasted, I’d say we’re in for a treat with his cooking! […]
Sam and I joined Kelli, Sarah and Hugh for an early Friday supper at the OVI. The kids had cheeseburgers and grilled cheese. Kelli and I had pizza and wings. Sam had milk. My favorite part of the evening was […]
While I’m off work, I’ve been attending a Wednesday morning Mom group that focuses on breastfeeding. (See, this is a food blog, after all, right?) Breastfeeding Arts, a group run by my lactation consultant (and now friend), the incomparable Deirdre, […]
Maybe it was the rice and beans from Maura’s the night before, but I had a hankering for Harry’s. And the weather was so gorgeous that we decided to make an afternoon of it. We walked down the long way, […]
I don’t have to tell SCF fans how often we go to the Olde Village Inne in Nyack. A ridiculous amount. But since Sam came along, we hadn’t been once. We had to remedy that situation — and fast. We […]
Irene’s sister, Carol, is in town for her annual December visit. Kris and I met the sisters for a supper at Velo. The food was so good we all decided we need to go back more often. The cocktails, especially, […]
Mom, Leigh and I took Sam out for her first Sunday brunch at Cafe Barcel this weekend. I had a great latte — — and a terrific dish: Barcel Benedict, with poached eggs and Serrano over brioche. Sam had milk. […]
The last time we were at Wasabi was the night before I got pregnant with Sam. We knew chances were I wouldn’t be eating sushi for a long, long time, so we had a bit of an extravaganza. Appropriate, then, […]
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.
