Eat. Drink. Live.
Hooray for Kris and Rivertown Film. Another fun community event downtown: the screening of The Wizard of Oz on the telephone building. What a world! What a world!
Rivertown Film, Kris Burns, we thank ye. What a fun idea, bringing all the village together downtown for a movie night. Tonight’s show: Mary Poppins. Â Sam and Sonya. Scenes from the movie: Good times.
It’s Labor Day weekend, folks, so we’re smoking some ribs. Four hours later, with some beans and tomatoes, and you’ve got supper. Boo and Sammy are happy. And, later, Zootopia on the big screen outside.
What a wonderful event at Oratamin! The club came together to host our community for an evening of free swim, a magic show by Nyack’s own Mario the Magician, and a showing of The Wizard of Oz! Greg set up […]
Lexi is here for a visit! Dinner and a movie it is, then! Eggplant parmesan: Playing with SnapChat. A
Sausage, zucchini and snap peas. And a screening of E.T.!
This takes outdoor movies to a whole new level. Kris and the Rivertown Film Society put together a showing of classic cartoons, broadcast onto the side of the telephone building downtown. The whole village gathered! The set-up:  Chatting before the […]
After a summer of “oh, we should have you guys over for an outdoor movie,” we finally invited the neighborhood friends over for, well, an outdoor movie — for the kids. The adults stayed busy with gin and tonics on […]
Another great summer evening at the farm.  Candles lit, cocktails made, movie ready. The movie this evening, playing on the Spinal Tap theme, is Waiting for Guffman.   SCF’s famous Butterflied Smoked Chicken: Good friends! (With eyes closed): Salads from Irene! […]
Another fun Nyack event: summer movies in the park. Tonight, The Princess Bride. And free popcorn, too! Look at that gorgeous Tappan Zee Bridge, too.
Benton’s bacon, Brandywine tomatoes, farm-fresh iceberg and homemade mayonnaise. Hard to beat that. We gilded the lily with a Caprese salad and a showing of “This is Spinal Tap.” Wonderful summer evening. Horsing around! Cocktailing: Tomatoes from the garden: Kris […]
Outdoor movies aren’t just for Sour Cherry Farm Paradisio! This evening we head downtown for upscale bar food at 8 North Broadway and a showing of “Maciste all’Inferno,” a 1925 Italian silent film, scored live by SexMob, Steven Bernstein’s jazz […]
Vegetarian supper on the patio, then a movie on the big screen with my niece, Lexi, visiting from North Carolina. On the plate, Alice Waters’ Ratatouille. On the silver screen, Far from the Madding Crowd. Not bad. Not really a summer, outdoor […]
The Farm’s dear friend Tom celebrated a birthday, so we celebrated with him! On the menu: cedar plank salmon, our new Creamy Mustard Potato Salad with Herbs and Soft Eggs, and a delicious green salad that Irene made. For dessert, […]
We started out Fourth of July weekend off right, with a dinner curated right out of Bon Appetit magazine: tarrgon-gin cocktails, grilled lobsters, corn on the cob, romaine with green goddess dressing. Boo and Irene joined us for dinner on […]
Summer has arrived at Sour Cherry Farm! Our first outdoor movie of the 2015 season premiered this day with “National Lampoon’s Vacation.” We grilled flank steak and asparagus, and made a salad with arugula and strawberries from Taliaferro Farms, in […]
And, for our finale: We close the summer movie season out with a classic: Dazed & Confused. Â Irene, Boo and Catherine joined us for steak on the grill, corn, tomato salad and a peach gallette, which Samantha helped make. Figs, […]
Saturday night in the summer at the farm: burgers on the grill and a movie on the garage. Except this time, the burgers were vegetarian. We used Maria Reina’s Seasonal Chef recipe from Small Bites for Black Bean-Chipotle burgers […]
A last hurrah while the cousins are here. The season’s first BLTs, plus a classic favorite movie: ‘Airplane.’ Sondra, Leigh, Kelli, Patrick, Boo and Irene join us for dinner. The BLT! It was excellent. Â Â Â Â
Well, no photos of family this time around. Silly, really… we could have done our annual portraits, since everyone was here for supper: Leigh, Sondra, Mae, Jane, Sarah and the three of us. Instead, here are a few photos of […]
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 […]
Yes, we’re making this a permanent thing, kids. Hunna is working out the logistics, and we’ll be putting togehter a “how to set up an outdoor theater” post very shortly.
The weather could not have been more perfect for our first outdoor movie of the season, Casablanca. We started our evening out with the Belmont Stakes. Tasha and Shannon joined us. No triple crown winner this yaer! After that, we […]
The weather was iffy, but as dinner time rolled around, it became apparent that we’d be able to screen SCF’s first “first run” film of the season. (If you can call a DVD release a first run!) Tasha supplied The […]
For tonight’s dinner and a movie, Kelli and Patrick brought spiedies, delivered that afternoon by Mary Ellen from Lupo’s S&S Char Pit, and we screened Dirty Harry. (I’d never deen it!) Kel and Patrick: Getting the outdoor theater all set: […]
The string of perfect weather continues Saturday — wow! what a month! — so we decide to screen another movie. More cedar-planked salmon! More corn! And, for the first time this summer, a little Hitchcock. The beautiful salmon from the […]
We had a big night Friday, when we smoked a couple of chickens and had a showing of “Big Night” on the big outdoor screen. Kris and Tom brought over mustard greens and kale (made with Benton’s, natch) as well […]
A summer supper on the patio with seasonal ingredients: corn, tomatoes and peaches. The essence of August! Making our corn soup: A trip to the pool while it chills: Grammy and Lexi feed Samantha: Supper starts. Chilled corn soup […]
You couldn’t ask for a more perfect summer evening. Mild temperatures, warm breeze, cold margaritas and a hot dog supper with a caprese salad and corn on the cob. Plus, we debut Sour Cherry Farm theater. With our new crisp, […]
Just to make sure we had everything running smoothly, we did a trial run of the outdoor movie, sans screen, on Friday evening. Breakfast at Tiffany’s seemed an appropriate choice. Now we have an idea of where to hang 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.
