Scott has been selling hay to Brian, a beef farmer out by Seneca for years and years. It takes nine trips for Brian to haul all the hay to their farm, which is about 45 minutes away from us.

So it was a beautiful combination of all my favorite things. And of course the … Continue reading Teach us to pray…

I also suspect I'd make this Seafood Chowder on a regular basis, and some chilly evening, some member of the Kennedy clan would happen to drop in and swoon over this little taste of the coast! And THEN they'd let me … Continue reading Seafood Chowder
