Yep, It’s Fall

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro
Looking for an activity for a three year old with boundless energy?  Set up a nice chair in the back yard and make some hot cocoa.  Next give said three year old a cup and tell them you will give them a penny for every acorn they can collect.
Sit back, enjoy the cocoa and watch em scurry around.

Apples From Russell Orchards

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Have you picked apples this year?

I don’t know what happened to supermarket apples, but they don’t have one tenth of the flavor as the one’s that you pick at the orchards.  The Mrs hasn’t made apple crisp yet, but I’m craving it- with some vanilla bean ice cream!

Cape Ann Food Pantry At The Block Party

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

If y’all think of it we will have a truck from Cape Ann Food Pantry up by CVS looking for dry and canned goods to feed needy families. Barbara Koen told me just the other day that the most selfish thing you can do for yourself is to give to others because you get so much more back in good juju.  Let’s all pitch in and help feed some folks that could use the help this winter.

Andiamos- Fusilli Alla Vodka With The Shrimp

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Normally I regret asking a waitress at a restaurant “What’s good?”

It can make for a slightly uncomfortable situation if they rave about a certain dish and you steer clear of it as if their recommendation is somehow not worthy.

I uttered those words and as they left my lips I was thinking to myself “why do you do that Joey?”  Anyway in this particular instance the girl behind the counter at Andiamos suggested the Fusilli alla Vodka and it sounded good so I went with it.  I don’t know the girl’s name behind the counter, but THANK YOU!

It was OUTSTANDING!  I brought it home and the Mrs who is not a pasta person (don’t ask) tried it and started wolfing it down.  She couldn’t get enough.

Andiamos is starting to become a regular stop for me for great food (not just good) at very reasonable prices.

Hey cousin Larry- no tails on the shrimp either!

Now This Is Not What I Had In Mind

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

A couple days ago, I got an email from seARTS detailing some of the information for the upcoming Partner With An Artist presentations around town this week.  It needed a little work and as I know Kathleen Valentine often works with seARTS I contacted her and told her if she whipped something up as far as a decent press release for the Events, that I would link to it.

Well she did, and it’s more than a little embarassing- click for Kathy’s Partner With An Artist Post

Oy!

Chickity Check It- Hye Tyde

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hye Tyde is the blog from  John Hintlian which mostly chronicles his surfing journal but if you look below the surface of all the surfing pictures and surf pictures, his photography is spectacular and he bring a fresh new perspective to your standard photo/journal blog.

John is very creative with his photography and I enjoy perusing his flickr album as much if not more than Hye Tyde.  Check out his flickr album and see for yourself.
