I’ve been spending the most amazing day in Dutchess County NY. I have to send a big THANK YOU out to
Nancy Lutz of Dutchess County Tourism.
She put together the perfect itinerary for our first tip to the area.
In the next few posts I’ll be writing specifically about the places we visited
which include:
The Vanderbilt Mansion
FDR’s Home and Museum
Sprout Creek Farm
Walkway Over The Hudson State Park
Brasserie 292
In this post I would like to specifically thank:
Margo from Sprout Creek Farm for taking us on a tour of the farm and introducing us
to the cows and goats and for the cheese tasting after.
Joyce at the Walkaway Bridge for the tour and history of the bridge
Chris and Jean the tour guides at The Vanderbilt Mansion and The FDR home,
respectively.
And to Chris at Brasserie 292 for the hospitality and the amazing meal.
Tomorrow I’ll be taking a class at the CIA for the first time and I have to admit, I’m
excited and a little nervous. I’m
a home cook with no formal training, so I hope I can keep up. I’ll post another specific entry about
my experience there. But for now
I’d like to thank Jay Blotcher for the opportunity to take this class. It’s an experience I’m sure it will be
one I won’t soon forget.
Kim, thank you so much for your wonderful blog spots. I look forward to seeing you again at Sprout Creek Farm. How was your class at the CIA?
All the best,
Margo
