Tortilla Soup- Supper idea for Tuesday
The best part of this colorful, tasty, broth-based dish? Everyone at the table can customize their serving with add-ins of their choice. And it’s simple to pull together, especially if you use precooked chicken. Here’s the recipe!

South Beach At Dawn- Service Alley
South Beach At Dawn- Service Alley, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
As beautiful and funky as South Beach is, the service alley behind the hotels are shady as hell. This is about as far down this alley I’m gonna walk in the name or art.

South Beach At Dawn
Of course I can never sleep in the morning so instead of waking up The Mrs I went for a little picture taking expedition.

For Shawn Cromwell-
When we were kids, we walked every day to the beach. The end toward the landing was the city-owned public beach. You had to walk through a ton of seaweed to get to clear water. Still the same now. When I put my kayak in now, the memories of “Stinky Beach” come right back! —Sharon

It Doesn’t Suck- Lifeguard Station 9th Street Beach
As soon as we checked in we grabbed lunch at The Pelican, not cheap but always fantastic. Highly recommend it. The rest of the day was spent at the beach where The Mrs read and I napped. Dinner we walked down to Lincoln Road and dined at Sushi Samba. Sushi Samba is an Asian/Peruvian/Brazilian fusion place. I The Mrs said it was ok and I thought it was just a bit better than ok. The service all the way around since we’ve been here has been fantastic.

The Beacon Hotel South Beach Miami
Here’s our hotel, The Beacon. It’s nice, I’d say it’s a three and a half star hotel with a five star location and very friendly staff. Most rooms on South Beach are old hotels that have been renovated and they’re all over the map as far as how tastefull or how much money they pour back into the joints. They did a fine job at the Beacon with flat screens tvs and new tile. It’s not extravagant but just fine for the Mrs very finicky tastes.

Under the Pier
I took this with a disposable camera a few years ago. I can’t swim so I stay pretty close to the shore. Anthony Scola threw me a lobster one time I was out there. Had to stare a his beady little eyes all the way back to the beach. Uh, the lobster’s, not Anthony’s! —Sharon

Cape Ann Symphony Concert Jan. 24
This year’s family concert features the world premiere of “Katy and the Big Snow” by local composer Robert J. Bradshaw. Commissioned by the Cape Ann Symphony to commemorate award-winning author & illustrator Virginia Lee Burton’s centennial year, the musical retelling of the children’s classic with a Cape Ann connection is destined to become a classic in its own right. This joyous performance will appeal to the young at heart of all ages.
Be sure to check out Flapping like a Haddock for more things to do on Cape Ann.
Thanks! —Sharon
