Eat. Drink. Live.
The kids put on a little show. The parents came over for a drink. The sisters got to hang. A very nice Saturday at Sour Cherry Farm. Leigh and Greg with drinks. Rye to warm me up. Lewis is zonked. […]

Our big night out! Robinson Ale House for supper, then a stroll on the Boardwalk with the kiddos. Not too many photos from dinner, but here’s my salad! Slick with rain. The Arcade Museum was a huge hit. Family. Related posts: […]

A cousins day! First, a showing of the BFG, then supper at the Farm. Wow. When did tickets creep up to $16! It’s been a while, I guess. Mae playing pokemon: Grammy and the girls! Sarah, Jane, Lala! Home, trying […]

My family is a bunch of dorks. And it makes me so proud. A rainy morning at the cabin and Sarah breaks out “Headbands.” You put this on your head. Everyone else knows what you are. You do not. So […]
The visit from the sister outpost is, sadly, coming to an end. The last hurrah was a delicious supper of grilled chicken and corn at the Ranch. We drank some rose, the girls put on a show for us — […]
Warning: there are an obscene amount of unedited photos in this post, so unless you have a vested interest (ie, you were there, I’m looking at you Kelli, Sarah and Boo) or you are very close family (that would be […]
Right down the stairs from Dear Irving is a little Mediterranean restaurant, where we shared small plates, rose and lots of laughs. Funny sign by the bar: It was a beautiful night, so we took a table on the street: […]

A sense of calm fell over me as I descended into the garden at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas. Sculpture isn’t usually my thing — not sure why, I guess I just haven’t studied it enough to appreciate it. But gardens […]
Kelli and her crew were up visiting, and we caught up over a great brunch at The Cookery in Dobbs Ferry. The food there is so god damn good; I just wish I could get there more often. Sam and […]
I believe we’ve already mentioned the farm’s good friends Kelli and Patrick are moving to Virginia. We couldn’t be more sad. But we’ll hold on to these memories of a final summer supper and a showing of ‘Goonies.’ Here’s a […]

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. Related posts: BLTs on the […]
A little field trip for the cousins this Friday: a trip to Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture. Down at the barnyard, Sam got a little scared of the pigs. And Mae and Jane were not impressed wih the […]
The floating oyster bar in NYC, Grand Banks, is docked off Pier 25 in TriBeCa at the west end of North Moore Street. The old schooner was retrofitted with two bars and tables, and serves oysters and a few small […]
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 […]
Laurie, Sarah, Mae and Jane are up from Texas! And they timed their flight to be able to make the Tuesday night concert in the park. A hot evening: Lounging and relaxing: Cuties! Nyackians: The performance this evening was the […]

Kelli, her kids and I took a walk around Rockland Lake Sunday. It was finally warm enough, at least for a day or two. So good to get outside! Afterwards, we hug around with Sam in the living room for […]
