My View of Life on the Dock
In North Carolina they use a vinegar and tomato based dip.
Clyde Hall, golf course builder extrodinaire and former son of Manchester brings up a couple of smoked shoulder’s when he comes up from North Carolina to visit Mark Ring each year for the Fiesta. Mark puts out quite a spread on Fiesta Sunday with his wife and Saint Patty’s Day fellow celebrant Kara Ring.

Cousin Larry shot into town for the week for the Fiesta. He’s a regular reader of the blog and if you read the comments you’ll note how much he misses all those great dishes that you can only get around here. The pictures I put up drive him nuts.
When Larry lived in Gloucester, back in the day we would make regular trips up to Joe’s American Bar and Grill for the same dish- The Blackened Chicken Pasta. Vaughn, Brian, the Palazolla boys, Moo Moo, Larry and I went to Joe’s the other night in honor of Cousin Larry being back in town.
Joe’s didn’t disapoint. That same garlicky goodness and the killer bread with the butter all washed down with a couple nice Sam Summer Ales. It was great.

What’s better than getting that nice warm bread before your meal at Joe’s American Bar and Grill?
Getting it and breaking it with friends and family, that’s what!
They ought to set up a little corner by the entranceway to Joe’s in the Northshore Mall where you could get that bread to go. I swear I’d pay $10 a loaf.

What do you suppose is going through his mind at that very moment?
