Sue is one of our dearest friends and we cherish any and all time spent with her. We’ve had the opportunity to share time with her in Cabo, northern California and here on the east coast. The three of us share our passions for tennis, great conversation, gourmet cuisine, fine wine and so much more.

Professionally, Sue has an amazing success story. Self-made, she has attained extraordinary global recognition for her talent and product line. Self-disciplined and hard-working, she deserves every bit of the success and acclaim she receives. She is extremely visual and creates beauty in everything she touches. Her home is warm and inviting and reflects Sue’s impeccable taste (she did all the structural and interior design herself).

Sue’s Watermelon Margarita

Personally, Sue is one of the most generous people I know. When Ron lost his rental accommodation for over a month two years ago, Sue opened her home to him, and to me while I was still in New York. My birthday rolled around while we were staying there and Sue made the day unbelievably special. She created a spa with products that she had made herself for me to indulge myself with, and a blender full of watermelon margaritas for Ron and I to enjoy. She vacated the house so that we had privacy that night and could not have made my birthday more special.

Special Birthday Wishes

We created many meals together in her well-designed kitchen. We both love to cook and it’s a joy to create food with Sue. We’re both passionate about using fresh, local ingredients of which there is an abundance in the Hamptons.

After tennis last week, Sue invited us over to her house for lunch. One thing we’ve learned over time is that you NEVER turn down a meal at Sue’s house as it is always a memorable event. Here’s a picture of the salad she served – the greens freshly picked from her macro-organic square-foot garden. Served with some baked lasagne, our lunch was delicious!

Sue’s Garden Salad

We’re living in a village nine miles away from the tennis club Ron works from and Sue offered me a bicycle to use for the time I’m here. It’s a gorgeous cruising bike and I am so grateful to have access to it to get me around and to get some extra exercise.

We played tennis this morning and she generously invited us AGAIN to join her for lunch. As always, it was scrumptious and beautiful. Every dish she serves is a work of art. Please note the before and after pictures as a testament to how appetizing and delicious our meal.  Our lunch consisted of chicken salad flanked by grilled salmon with dill sauce, all served over mixed greens sprinkled with tabouli, with a side grilled corn salad!

We love you, Sue, and cherish you and our friendship immensely! Here’s to many more games of tennis, great conversations, gourmet cuisine and lots of shared glasses of fine wine with you!
