HAPPY BIRTHDAY

We're back in the Catskills and just in time for Jason's Birthday. We brought him Prosecco and Saltwater Taffy. He made us Bruschetta on homemade Bread, Pasta with Tomato and Basil from their garden and a baked Berry Cobbler for dessert. Amazing... All of it.

MEMORIAL DAY

Lars Andersson moved up for the Summer and Martin drove up last minute. We spent most of the weekend at Jason & Jeff's laughing, relaxing, eating and drinking. The weather was perfect and hopefully the sign of a great season. There isn't much else to write since 21 pictures says 21,000 words.

JEFF & JASON

I love when a friend calls last minute for a BBQ and it turns out to be exactly what you needed. Jeff and Jason have turned a little shack on a hill into the chicest, most beautifully comfortable home. All Spring and Summer their garden is in bloom and their charcoal grill is fired up. Tonight Jeff put together a feast with whatever was left in the fridge. A Mango, Endive and Avacado Chicken Salad. Husk on Corn and Garlic Bread. A perfect Sunday evening.

NEW YEARS DAY No. 2

We called Jeff Madalena and Jason Gnewikow to see if they would be Upstate this evening. We brought over a bunch of treats we got from Trader Joe's and the Boeuf Bourguignon we made this morning. Their home in Samsonville, NY is so beautiful, cozy and the perfect place for French Comfort Food.
