Eat. Drink. Live.
The first time (maybe?) we sit at the dining room table for a meal. In an actual chair! After a little peanut butter and jelly, we walk downtown for a bit, stopping at the library: And to look in a […]
So it is.
Samantha works on measurements to present her idea for a kitchen remodel: A walk around Congers Lake: Good times.
A sweet little ceremony with singing and Santa. Sam enjoyed it. Â Â
SCF fans will notice I’ve fallen a bit behind in my posts lately! I promise to catch up soon with Jessica’s visit to the Farm, Samantha’s birthday, a couple of trips to some great restaurants (including The Parlor in Dobbs […]
Another new outfit for our little two-year-old! These, from her aunt Ann and uncle Bob. Thanks guys!
The new table is proving to be quite a lot of fun, especially now that winter’s here and we’re stuck inside! Here’s Daddy, inspiring our budding artist.
A few new outfits for her birthday! These from her brother and sister-in-law, Mark and Angie. Thanks guys!
After years (years!) of renovations on their home, Tasha and Shannon finished a new dining room, bathroom and living room at their home, which we affectionately refer to as Stump Lane. To celebrate, they threw their very first dinner party. And what […]
An annual tradition here at SCF, we headed to the festival at the Russian Orthodox church a couple of blocks from the farm for our fix of stuffed cabbage, dumplings and sweets. We liked the cabbage rolls and the cakes […]
A little fun, a little work. Samantha’s new table: And Jorge and I are putting the garden to bed today:
“Sure,” says Grammy. “I’ll help.”
Celebrating Sam’s birthday on a Saturday, with a few prezzies, and cake! Then, a civilized supper for the adults, with a grilled, double-cut pork chop with a cornbread stuffing and sour cherries. Sisters! Jessica’s sweet little prezzy: Family! Â Â Â Â Moving […]
Out to brunch with Greg’s daughters! Samantha decides that she’ll have the labne, please. The Art Cafe cappuccino is a thing of beauty. Every design is different. Sorry for the blur… A delishy rice bowl, the Magritte: And Jessica’s malawich: […]
I wasn’t sure she was going to like wearing a costume. What? She wouldn’t take it off. Â Â “Daddy’s Funny Hat.” “Mommy’s Funny Hat.” At the parade: My Day of the Dead earrings: Nas: Getting started right: A good float, […]
Wow! Who knew!? The last time we went to Maura’s Kitchen, it was to pick up some terrific roast chicken takeout. This time, we’re sipping pisco sours and guffawing over how delicious the ceviche is. Yes, it appears that Maura’s […]
Karen is visiting from Australia, and spent a quiet weekend with us here at the farm. First outing: Chappaqua Farmers Market for Doughnation Pizza (not pictured) and pumpkin picking (pictured). Here are a few sweet pics.
For the Feast of St. Francis, people bring their pets to church for the Blessing of the Animals. Samantha brought Monkey and Baa along, but she was also enjoying playing with other parishoners’ animals, too. Here are a few pics.
The Nyack Fire Department celebrated its 150th anniversary with a parade down Main Street Saturday. Samantha loved the trucks, the music and the “nas.” (Horses.) Here are a few pics and videos from the afternoon’s entertainment. And… walking home afterwards:
Irene and I made an unusual, but delicious, choice for pre-theater supper this time around: we stopped for dinner at the Filling Station on 9W on the way down to the city, intead of eating when we got there. Pizza […]
Hunna started a new job this week: working for Design Within Reach. We’re all pretty excited, not to mention proud! Good work for a good company. He leaves super-early, so Sam and I are on our own those mornings. On […]
Kicking around outside before supper. I don’t know what we’re going to do when it gets cold out!
Our ‘new’ neighbors have lived across the street for almost two years now, but we hadn’t had a chance to have supper together until now. Way overdue, and so much fun, too. We took a cue from Peggy’s delishy appetizer […]
I think she’s starting to understand the concept of words. Maybe.
The Labor Day games are a nice tradition at the swim club we joined this summer. Just as I remember from when I was particiapting in them as a child! The day starts out with a sponge relay. Whoever carries […]
Tasha and Shannon bought a kite to fly with Samantha! We had a blast down by the river trying to get it to take off. There wasn’t much wind, but we made it work! Here’s Sam in the butterfly garden, […]
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.
