"  WHAT I LOVE ABOUT WEEKENDS IN BELLPORT Sleeping late, reading the paper on the porch, and watching the light change while my kids swim. We also do a lot of napping, cooking, crabbing, clamming, and playing tennis at the Bellport Country Club, right next to our house. And we take the ferry over to Ho-Hum Beach on Fire Island\u2014a favorite hangout. It&amp;#039;s beautiful and has a great boardwalk that goes over the dunes. ON THE MENU I am constantly cooking when we&amp;#039;re there. We do lots of farro with honey, goat cheese, walnuts, and cranberries; pastas; and baked clams with miso butter and parsley (we catch them with our toes just in front of the house). We eat at least one meal a day that consists of almost nothing but cheese and bread. FAVE FOOD HAUNTS We stick with the basics, like the Bellport restaurant for dinner; the menu there is miraculously varied. I like to have a margarita, then one of their soups (cauliflower is my most recent favorite), warm spinach salad, mussels in white wine and shallots, french fries, and their very good potato-crusted fish. And Delfiore, a little Italian specialty store in Patchogue, has killer mozzarella. They also have a pizza shop that makes great salads and these evil burger sliders on garlic knot buns with saut\u00E9ed onions. SHOPPING I usually don&amp;#039;t buy anything but food; we stop at roadside stands for fresh veggies. But I will pull into any yard sale I see or pop by Townhouse Antiques. Their stuff runs from eccentric to formal, and I love their landscapes and ocean paintings. As my taste skews toward the oddities, I recently bought a primitive painting of a rosa rugosa from the 1920s by a Danish painter. Pamela Lerner Antiques has an eclectic mix too. PACKING ESSENTIALS A bathing suit and shorts or white jeans with custom-made men&amp;#039;s button-down shirts from Miller&amp;#039;s Oath are my uniform. I wear them shopping, taking walks, going around in a boat, and cooking. For day, I also pack Kerry Cassill wrap dresses and caftans, a casual throw-on dress from Derek Lam, \u00C9t\u00E9&amp;#039;s St. Tropez bikini, and a big ole straw hat from our Kemble Interiors store in Palm Beach. For night, I have a zip-front yellow jacket and floral-print pants from Lela Rose, which I&amp;#039;ll wear with a Devi Kroell wooden clutch if I&amp;#039;m going to a barbecue or for dinner at someone&amp;#039;s house. I also bring some jewelry from Tracy Smith&amp;#039;s new line for House of Lavande\u2014it&amp;#039;s all really fabulous. At home I wear an alpaca throw with leather trim from Rosemary Hallgarten instead of a bathrobe. I always have my tiger-print D. Porthault baby pillow or my Pratesi dumbbell-shaped ones for maximum relaxation. BEAUTY BASICS Bobbi Brown Eye Collection kits, which make for easy packing, Dior&amp;#039;s Diorific lipstick in Dolce Vita (a bold red orange), Chanel sunblock, and Jo Malone&amp;#039;s Wild Fig &amp;amp;amp; Cassis perfume. WEEKEND READING The Week is my favorite, as are The Atlantic and whatever is left of The New York Times after my husband has torn through it.
