Eat. Drink. Live.
We’ll get back to food in just a moment folks. Indulge me in one more round of fun photos from the lake. (Don’t forget, the motto of SCF is “Eat. Drink. Live.” We’re doing some living!) Swimming with Wilson, Sarah, […]
There’s nothing quite like the stillness of the lake just before sunset. So on both Wednesday and Thursday, we ate super-early and were able to take a dip in the water and a nice spin around the lake before dark. […]
Folks, I promise to get back to cooking and recipes in a few posts. For now, indulge me in a few photos for posterity’s sake. Here’s the family having a few drinks after the evening’s round of game playing. Here’s […]
Greg cooked down a bunch of fresh, local tomatoes according to the recipe for The Sauce, then after it was tossed with penne, we topped the dish with fresh heirlooms and basil. And we served it with the hit of […]
Another supper, another porch. (Is that a Kiss Me Kate song?) Look at that beautiful blue sky behind Lexi, Wilson and Sarah.
After supper each evening, we took to the game table. Mostly we played Taboo, which is a whole lot of fun with a whole lot of people. Truly!
The Waggoners were up a lot earlier than the rest of us one morning, and decided to go up to the top of the hill to pick blackberries from the briar. They came home with a bundle. Mae’s already a […]
Greg smoked ribs and chicken and Wilson prepared a fireworks show. The rest of us enjoyed the fruits of their labors.
Jane relaxes on the lounge chair before her breakfast is served.
Our first night of fun at the cabin. What a joy to have all the family in one place for vacation…. we can’t remember the last time that’s happened.
We celebrated Rory’s first communion with Kelli and Patrick and their family. Here’s the guest of honor with his delicious cake:
Each year during October, Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson sets up thousands of Jack O’Lanterns on its property. It really is a sight.
Supper didn’t turn out quite as we’d hoped at Umami in Croton-on-Hudson. We got there just 10 minutes after Kelli and Patrick, but weren’t able to get our dinners in time before we had to leave for the Great Jack-o’-Lantern […]
A family get-together in the orchard, with the Ranchers, Grandmom, Boo, Sarah and the girls. We had a cornucopia of supper vegetables and a grilled pork chop on top:
Greg, Sarah and I got the chance to go out for a Friday night supper. Mom was watching Mae, but we brought Jane along to make things a little easier on her. Now this photo is a little blurry, but […]
When Sarah and I decided to do lunch and a show, I never thought we’d end up having one of the best meals of the year. But Nougatine simply stunned us.
Another family meal together, but this time, we made it easy on ourselves, it being a school night and all. Take out from our favorite wing place, Bon Chon:
Sarah went out to brunch and Wilson, Greg and I minded the kids for the afternoon. We did a little baking and a little planting and all was well.
Joining us in the orchard for a visit with the Waggoners and the Ranchers are Kelli and Patrick! Welcome, kids.
After a trip to the Russel Wright Design Center, Sarah and Wilson and Greg and I went to Beacon for burgers. Poppy’s is a place that uses all-natural, local beef and ingredients and hand-cuts its fries. It’s really good stuff, […]
On Saturday night, the adults got some of their own fun time. First, we headed to supper at La Condesa, a new-ish modern Mexican restaurant downtown. Wow. Was that food amazing.
Jessica and Kelly hosted the whole family for dinner on Friday night, including Sarah and Mae and Jane, and Kelly’s brother and sister-in-law Brady and Karen and their two girls. You might say it was a family reunion of sorts.
Sarah and the girls and I headed to Frank, the artisan hot dog place in Austin, for lunch on Thursday. All in all, good food. But something about the atmosphere was a little annoying. For one thing, it was super-loud. […]
SCF fans, we’ve been on the road. We caught a 7 a.m. flight out of Newark. Read and slept on the plane. Sarah picked us up at the airport. After we got to meet the lovely and talented Jane Addison […]
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.
