Early Bird Cookery - Spring Announcement.
Message from my Friend Amy, who filled a much-needed market niche with her cooking and catering.
Happy Spring!
Early Bird is back in the kitchen, at Foodstock this weekend and planning our first farm-to-table dinner for May 25th.
Early Bird will kick-off the 2013 season at Foodstock, WJFF's fabulous food & wine event. It takes place this Saturday May 11th from 11:00 until 4:00pm at the Villa Roma in Jeffersonville, NY. We will be offering prepared meals to-go. Early Bird uses real food sourced from local farms to create mouth watering meals. Let us get dinner on the table!
If you miss us here, we will be offering packaged / prepared foods all summer at the Sunday Callicoon Farmers Market or sign-up for a weekly Monday delivery right to your door.
Our first farm-to-table dinner will be a WJFF Fundraiser and will be held on Saturday, May 25th. Dinners will be held the last Saturday of every month through October. Please call or email for more information and menus.

Pics speak a 1000 words
New home site in Roxbury NY, with a hay bale for a desk.
Abe Lincoln flask I found in Rhinebeck NY.
4 1/2 yr old chest/book-keeping art.
5 boro 45 mile bike ride this weekend. Looks like another fantastic weekend of weather.
Loft Renovation - Saugerties NY
So, a multigenerational furniture business which owns, and has owned, a large corner building where they have hawked their wares for decades has collaborated with us on a design of the rear living loft portion of the block long building. Interestingly, many generations of this family have at one time or another lived in this 1500 sq ft 2nd floor loft. Now, we are redoing it, Catskill Farms style - a little old, a little new and lot of pizazz.
I keep a little apartment in Saugerties, right around the corner. A little love nest, you may say (though to be honest, it hasn't seen any female callers except for cleaning company lady).
Its a super cool and historic building.
Pretty old school interior that has seen lots of kids raised and general good-natured overcrowding and limited bathroom quarrels.
The blues...
Super good looking mint green drop ceiling and wall paper.
We're keeping that beadboard door.
I liked this yellow print long hallway - it caught a lot of sun and was a good color for it. Alas, by the time you read this it will be no more.
The living room.
Hot red bedroom.
The Kids room.
Should be fun - and of course like every renovation unexpected things happen - but not usually so quick - we started demo and the sheetrock on the interior walls was partially made of concrete, for chrissakes.
CraftsMan III Moving Along
A pretty sunny nice weekend here in the South East Catskills. It was a dry April which is always nice for grassplanting, earth moving and generally good for construction, but generally bad for having that grass grow for that grass one just planted.
Craftsman III in Barryville is coming along a just fine. 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 5+ acres. We had finished the grounds and the exterior last year, and then put the house on hold until we found some buyers, so they would have the opportunity to help us design and finish the home.
Some sharp details with the stone tapered pillars and the cedar shake accents.
Just finishing up the inside work.
The first floor is open, and large, and well-windowed.
Shot of the master bed, which sits high and looks out back.
And the man shed.
Grant and Louise should be moving in in late June.
