Time to catch up on some much needed Buck Lodge blogging. Props (Pops?) go to Jack and Ebby for coming to town with more loot than Santa Claus. First and foremost, the food. Lets start off with the best sauce ever, loaded with meatballs and italian sausage that was out. of. this. world. Friday night, we had a massive pasta gorge-fest. Ebby thought she brought us enough sauce to last us for weeks, but we managed to polish it off that weekend. Also, there was a five-bean soup that was devoured before Adam could even get up here from the city. And of course, she showered us in pizzelles, one of our all-time favorites.
Inside Santa's sleigh we also found a hammock (from Kristen) which is our new favorite napping spot, a brass tub for holding firewood, some of Craig's artwork from his childhood (appropriately embarassing), his NYU Stern diploma, dishtowels and aprons, metal skewers for roasting marshmallows (Craig doesn't like using sticks), Craig's childhood animal figurine collection, and this amazing brass lantern that used to belong to Craig's grandpa Poplar. Clearly we hit the jackpot, and Jack and Ebby are encouraged to bring a U-Haul next time.
Saturday night we took a trip out to Saugerties, which is near Woodstock, NY. We took a lightning-speed hike out to the lighthouse. We beat the rain, but could not keep the bugs at bay (Ebby is a bug-magnet, don't stand to0 close). We did get a great view of the Hudson river and a gaggle of swan, which was quite cool. Dinner was at Miss Lucy's Kitchen, which we highly recommend. Miss Lucy was six years old when her mom opened the restaurant which she named after her daughter. Most of the food was organic and local...even the herbs were grown out back. Ebby's steak with roasted bone marrow and the rhubarb icebox cake were the standouts in a great meal. This place has Al and Penny written all over it. http://www.misslucyskitchen.com/
Their visit was short and sweet and we look forward to many future visits soon.
