Eat. Drink. Live.
I’ve been quite lazy with my photography lately… apologies, readers! I don’t even have photos of the Mother’s Day celebration we put together, and it was an impressive menu with homages to many mothers: Hamburgers (with a nod to Grandmom, […]
We had a little video contest at work, and this was my entry. I hope you like it!
A gift from Grammy so Samantha can help bake. Thanks Grammy!
We’ve decided to take down the blackberries that we so dutifully planted three springs ago. They’re just too darn onery. And a lot of work. Blueberries, on the other hand, are a lot less work: prune them in the spring […]
Four families gathered at Kelli and Patrick’s for a fun-filled Easter egg hunt, kids dinner and a big ol’ plate of ham. We started with bloody marys and smoked salmon pizza and ended with lemon-chocolate tart. All was delicious!
As they did last year, Kris and Tom put together a fabulous St. Patrick’s Day feast complete with corned beef and cabbage (and other delishy vegetables), many mustards and Irish Soda Bread made from Tom’s great grandmother’s recipe. Here’s a […]
All dressed up for church. Adorable!
Mommy heads to work and has an especially hard time saying goodbye. Oh, the heartbreak. The pangs kill sometimes, don’t they?
Give Sam a crayon and a few sweet potato fries and you can almost have an relaxing lunch. Almost.  Â
Sam sharing at meal time. So cute. And her milk, too:
We did have a few flurries and even a couple of inches earlier in the season, but this was the first time Sam really got outside to explore the snow. I must say, she seemed confused. A few more pics, […]
Each December, Irene’s sister, Carol, comes visiting from Chicago. We usually get the chance to celebrate her birthday in style, and for us, with luck: a dinner birthday party prepared by Irene. And we’ve celebrated enough birthdays with Carol now […]
It’s been a long time! A year! But Pete and Jeannine were in town for Thanksgiving and we were finally able to catch up with them again. We had our SCF usual: Roast chicken. Yes, a little gravy and a […]
A nice November morning, a spot of coffee in the brisk air. Good times.
Kelli and Patrick invited us along for a Harvest Hayride at the park in Irvington. The kids had a ball. Even Sam.
I promised on my Pinterest page: I will make this Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake recipe! Here it is. Not hard at all and well worth the 20 minutes it took. Sam even helped.
With Karen in town covering the UN General Assembly, we thought it a good time to visit the 9/11 Memorial for the first time. We met her down there for a quick visit.
Burrata, a restaurant in Eastchester, is named after the creamy, silky cheese: a combination of mozzarella and cream. And though there are several dishes that feature burrara, the star of the menu is the pizza. It’s cooked in a beehive-shaped […]
Our day at the beach. Our evening at the beach. We don’t do much, but it sure is fun. [wowslider id=”28″]
We’re back in Amagansett for a week of beach life. A little beach time during the day. A little dinner for the kids. Then babysitter comes to the unit and we head to the beach for magic hour. Cheers!
The three cousins were so darn adorable watching cartoons on the porch I couldn’t help but snap a ton of photos. Here’s a looksee: And OK… a couple of videos, too. So cute.
Greg’s good friend Tony, whom he’s known since college but not seen for 20 years, was visiting New York. They got a chance to catch up, and we got a chance to walk the Highline and have a snack at […]
Sam got her first taste of the swimming pool at Lake Nanuet. A great little spot, because the whole shallow end is about a foot deep for a long while, which makes it easy to hold a little baby!
Piermont celebrated French Independence Day by closing down the street and serving food, selling trinkets and hiring a band. Because nothing says Bastille Day like a a Dead Cover band. There was also, separately, a carnival in Flywheel Park, hosted […]
A couple of pizzas, a little chicken parm… how can you go wrong? Especially with dining companions such as these:
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, […]
An adorable photo of Sam and Jane at their Music Together class. So sweet!
Sarah and the girls have arrived. We came home from the airport and had supper at the farm. Hot dogs and “torn” for them; leftover lobster rolls for us, eaten later.
We had a lovely day to celebrate our nation’s birthday. Boo came up and we went for a long bike ride. Then we had some burgers at the Filing Station (yes, again) and watched a little tennis. Then Greg and […]
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.
