Another fabulous weekend on the North and South Forks: lunches at Jedediah Hawkins and the Dockside Bar & Grill, dinner at the new Blue Canoe, wishing on shooting stars in Southold, wine tastings at Channing Daughters, Shinn, and Macari, hanging out with adorable winery dogs, a stunningly perfect afternoon on Southampton beach, M.’s to-die-for duck buns at our home-away-from-home, and the invention of a meme-in-the-making: #northforkproblems.

Below, a few photos of the weekend, if you’d like to see….
Kale Queens of the North Fork: me & fellow birthday girl Nancy(licious) & our $1 bunches of monster kale.
We’re having major fantasies of opening an auberge-style fine dining country house. (Hamlet business plus carriage house!) You in, Santos?
Buffalo or cattle or something of the sort. All I know is: bow chicka wow wow.
Forever-puppy + #macariwines. Heaven. HEA-VEN.
