Sunday, more than ever, has become my "Me" day. Yesterday I had hours to myself to do whatever I felt like - once the waffles and bacon had been cooked, served and cleaned up and payroll had been done and the sheets had been changed and I had met with Linda Kindlon at Bake for … Continue reading Tara Kitchen

(Sometimes) I want to be alone
(Said in a Greta Garbo voice, pronouncing want vant.) As I sat on the train heading south to Hudson on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, I considered my decision to take the trip solo.

I've been onboard for the last 4 years and consider myself fortunate to be able to continue having a presence in the local food scene in such a special spot, especially since my availability is … Continue reading Seven-year (p)itch
Love apples
I sampled my first pomegranate about 40 years ago. I was spending the night with a school friend who had hippy parents who joyfully exposed me to all sorts of new things - like a water bed, Fleetwood Mac's Rumors, an unusual musky smoke wafting around and pomegranates. Although I have owned a copy of … Continue reading Love apples
