Kingsley Flood Tonight @ The Rhumb Line
Last minute shout out, that Kingsley Flood will be playing The Rhumb Line tonight from 9:30 pm to 12:30 am
I absolutely love Kingsley Flood and have since the first time I got to hear them play. They bring something new to the plate American Roots ( lively folk) with a little bit of a country thing going on. You have to admit there is some pretty fine knee slapping music here. I got the CD “Dust Windows” a while ago and played it over and over again, also sharing it with others. They seem to like it a lot. I personally think they have a masterpiece here. When you can listen to it in the car for over and hour singing along it’s great. My favorite songs are and it’s hard to choose from them all Cul de Sac, Back in the back, Devil’s arms and When I grow up. They seem to get me to the dance floor a lot faster than the others. Listening to their CD it’s like everything is in the right place, especially the fiddle. Check out their songs I am sure that you will agree. http://www.myspace.com/kingsleyflood
Come out and treat yourself to some real fine music.

MUMS THE WORD in Essex–do you have your mums yet?
No, not MY Mum, the fantastic Sue Lufkin, but chrysanthemums–and they are lovely, just like my Mum! Did Fall come too fast for you to get your mums yet? One day it was Summer and then BAM–Fall!
Anyway, the Essex Merchant’s group is holding their annual “Mums The Word” campaign to not only bring added beauty to our lovely town with the addition of flowers everywhere but to raise a few dollars for the group as well.
Last night a hardy group of citizens braved the wind and showers to raise a glass to kick off the “Mums the Word” campaign and help with the pick up of some of the pre-order flowers–but there are lots and lots of lovely plants, just waiting for YOU!
So here’s the deal. Stop by Joshua’s Corner–it is the shop with the gold trim up on the hill on the corner of 133 and Southern Ave (the road to Manchester) and purchase your mums during store hours, 10-5 daily and 12-5 on Sundays. Mums are $3.95 for 1-20 8″ pots or $3.50 each for over 20 plants.
As you can see by my pictures, the plants are gorgeous and ready to go, full of blooms to provide color for your yard and neighborhood. Pick up a few for a friend who needs a little cheering up and leave them secretly on their front steps. Decorate the little island at the end of your street or fill a neglected planter that passersby will notice when driving along the road.
Spread the Love, buy some Mums—–remember…..Mums the Word!

My visit to the Steve Connolly Seafood kitchens in Boston.
Let me tell you, I am one lucky girl. I get to do fun things and cook with great people and chefs that not everyone gets to do–and believe me, I appreciate the opportunities!
A little while back, I got the chance to tour the Steve Connolly Seafood facility in Boston–what an impressive operation–and even better than that the chefs cooked three delicious recipes that they shared with me to give to you right now. The show with these recipes will air again this Friday at 4:30 and then again Sunday at 11:30 am on Cape Ann TV and then next week, another show with a new recipe and more of our tour.
These recipes are easy to make at home using readily available ingredients and fairly simple techniques. Trust me– you want to make these recipes and they will be a HUGE hit with your friends and family! I took lots of photos on our visit so that you can see how the finished dishes should look.
Please let me know if you make these recipes and how they came out–and as always, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
And a HUGE thank you to Chef Michael and Chef Carlos for interrupting their busy schedules and sharing their delicious recipes with all of us and to David Coombs and his staff for showing us around–thanks a million to all of you!

UGHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Wasn’t it just last year when they said they wouldn’t sell lobsters any more because they considered it inhumane to hold them in crates?

Chickity Check It! Fish Box Derby Sunday Morning
Hey Joey, thanks for thinking of us. I have included our mission statement below, which is about as close to a press release as we get. The seventeenth annual race begins Sunday morning the 19th on the Rogers Street hill in front of Gorton’s. Practice runs at 11:00 and the heats at High Noon. This year we have 37 cars registered for the "Thrill of the Hill", I know competition will be keen. We are expecting Mayor Kirk, Senator Tarr, and Rep. Ferrante to help us kick off the race, so bring your camera and come on down for one of the great family events of the Gloucester year.

Fish Box Derby Committee
The Fish Box Derby Race is a family event held each year in early September. The race was established by a non-profit organization (Fish Box Derby, Inc.) whose purpose it is to provide the local youth with an opportunity to build and strengthen family relations. Since 1994, the Fish Box Derby has offered the kids of Cape Ann the opportunity to test their design, building and driving skills in a safe and exciting race down Rogers Street. Boys and girls from ages eight to fourteen are eligible to enter. We have purposely stayed independent from the All-American Soapbox Derby so that parents and kids can work together on the cars, and that everything from buggy wheels to high tech bearings is allowed.
There is no entry fee for the race, we are fully supported by charitable donations from individuals, businesses and local organizations, whose names are emblazoned on the hay bales that line the course. Through the generosity of our supporters, the Fish Box Derby now offers two $1,000 college scholarships each year, for which all racers are eligible. It has been truly rewarding to see our former participants take the lessons learned in the race with them into adulthood.
The cars are entered into one of two categories: "Freestyle" or "Modified". Prize categories include the traditional First, Second, Third, Fourth, as well as Best Pit Crew and Koolest Car. Donations made to the Fish Box Derby Race help to cover all race-related expenses. The balance is placed in a scholarship fund for the young participants. Each participant is eligible to apply for scholarship funds as she or he prepares to graduate from high school. For race details, helping on a committee, or general information, see or website www.fishboxderby.org or write to: Fish Box Derby, Inc. PO Box 162 Gloucester, Ma. 01931-0162.
