This is all so beautiful! I especially love the corn soups with heirloom tomatoes and all your descriptions of upstate farms. I love the herbal teas from churchtown dairy too. A trip for me wouldn’t be the same without going to cafe mutton.
One thought about tomatoes—i always find the best way to prepare them is simply marinated in salt and olive oil for about 10 minutes, maybe some fresh basil or fresh ground pepper. I find they are so acidic already that vinegars take away from the pure tomato taste that i love. My favorite way to eat them is with toast and mayonnaise or garlic aioli.
thank you for sharing! I love cafe mutton, but we were there on a monday! so many great places to eat in hudson
re: tomatoes, thank you so much for sharing your preferred way to eat them - sounds delicious! Personally i love the acidic sweetness umami-ness in tomatoes and want more of it, and find that a light brushing of the good (aka aged) balsamic doesn't introduce much taste but just adds a little oomph and depth - to each their own <3
