Sag Harbor is a tiny town with some cute antique shops and pretty boats. The community is fighting to keep big chain stores out with a mayoral candidate who is also promising to develop parks and bring all municipal buildings to a carbon-neutral state.

Here are pictures from a lazy Saturday stroll on the way to Schiavoni’s market.

The weekend was relaxing (aside from sick JBA’s incessant coughing and grumpy snark) and was largely spent cooking up 3-4 star meals and reading Christopher Hitchens.

The new challenge was homemade ice cream. Mint chocolate chip. With four bowls and sauce pan plus waiting on the ice cream machine and additional time in freezer, I wished I had just picked up a pint at the store. But . . . success! I will never buy ice cream again. Maybe.
