The Food Journey: Chez Kevin & Stephen
Up in Pound Ridge, NY, a stone's throw from Connecticut, live Kevin & Stephen, a charming couple I've had the pleasure of knowing for almost 12 years. Their lovely and hospitable home has seen many memorable meals, and last month Kevin & Stephen invited me & JP, and Bart & Ashley, to dinner. A hearty and pungent eggplant soup led off, with a dollop of cream in the center begging to spread its creamy texture...

Bart & Ashley met us at the Bronxville train station near their home in Mt. Vernon and drove us the 30.2 miles, 43 minute way to Pound Ridge..

I don't have a sweet tooth, but how could I resist a slice of apple pie with marzipan and glazed almonds, set off by raspberries and blackberries, I ask you?

Kevin and Stephen are the lucky caretakers of Bailey, an extremely sweet Canine-American... Here Bailey enjoys JP's attention..
