I love living in a place with so many bountiful farmers’ markets. And maybe it’s my small-town self coming through on Saturday mornings, but I prefer the small-scale markets. We’ve become regulars at the Fulton neighborhood market, and really, it’s not just because Patisserie 46 sets up a booth every week, although that’s definitely a [...]

It was actually pretty chilly, and the sky was gray, but the fruit trees are blooming, the kids are antsy, and everyone just wanted to hang around in the big back garden yesterday. The grill was going from 11 to 7. There were pork sausages of all kinds, veal chops, pork chops, lamb shoulder, lamb [...]

This distinction, between red and white, is an important and ubiquitous one in Roman society. Well, at least when it comes to snacks and drinks and—if you’re talking to children—dinner. There’s, of course, red or white wine. (But these are just the most basic distinctions. In addition to the great array of differences based on [...]

Of activity, that is. (The real flurries are more like blizzards, falling on friends and relatives all up and down the east coast.) But life here has been moving so fast, and what do I have to show for it? No photos of food, anyway. The food has disappeared before the camera reached it. Friday [...]
a Dundee special in Rome

Last night, the RSFP kitchen did it again. They had us swooning and stuffing our bellies and calling out for more. This time, the dish was fish-n-chips. One of the kitchen interns, Camilla, had been homesick for Scotland and this specialty, so she and the crew fried up a massive amount of fish and potatoes. [...]

No, not the food staple, but the writers’ conference. I went up to Ripton, VT, to spend the last night of the conference with Peter. It was a great evening. Peter gave a late-afternoon reading of poems from his most recent book, The Lions, in the century-old clapboarded Little Theater. After the reading, some went [...]

It was an indulgent day with the in-laws. First this happened: Then this: We decided to heed this advice by visiting the local Buzzards Bay Brewery for a tasting. It was a low-key event. A version of “Desolation Row” was playing as we stepped into the simple plywood-floored room. There were four taps: my favorites [...]

Is that some kind of summer-in-Vermont activity for kids? Do you ride it or eat it? Actually, you drink it! It’s a red ale brewed by Jasper Murdock’s at the Norwich Inn, on Main St. in Norwich, Vermont. The microbrewery makes English style ales which are served only in the little pub at the back [...]

Since this is a locavore blog, in some ways, I have to admit, I misrepresent myself. For example: beer versus wine. I’ve written more about beer, and expressed a lot of enthusiasm about local ales, but I’m really much more of a wine drinker. Lately it’s been Spanish reds, and vinho verde. I love the [...]
