Goats & greek food.
This past weekend I visited friends in my old hood, Rochester. My friend Nicola is an amazing chief and makes the best baklava from an old family recipe. She was going to cook a Greek Feast for 40 in a small town just out of Ithaca, so I really wanted to visit and take part.
Part of the feast for Nicola was curating the fresh, local ingredients right off of farms. The highlight for me was visiting Clover Meadow Creamery where we picked up goat's milk and yogurt. It's baby season and the farm had 30 new kids! They are expecting about 60. They were so kind and brought out lots of baby goats for me & Nicola. I've seen baby goat's before, but to see these children carrying them out just for us made me start crying. Such a cry baby!

I loved seeing the behind the scenes in this amazing kitchen where the feast was prepared. I've never been in such an open, bright, and functional kitchen.
Opa!
