Celebrate The Holidays Like The Ciaramitaros- Sista Felicia’s New Video- Uncle Charlie’s Top Necks FIVE STAR MUST MAKE ALL TIME GREATEST FOOD OF ALL TIME

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

At the Gloucester Daily Times Taste of The Times They Are Featuring Felicia’s Video Recipes Of Our Uncle Charlie’s  Baked Stuffed Topnecks.  This was our Uncle Charlie’s recipe and is hands down absolutely my number one of all times favorite things to eat.

Read that again- MY NUMBER ONE ALL TIME FAVORITE THINGS TO EAT.

If you try just one recipe from Felicia’s Videos in your entire lifetime I will suggest this one.

Follow her instructions precisely.  Do not try to get creative.  Do not get a different type of clam, the size matters.  Order them at Intershell for your holiday.

You’ve seen all the pictures I’ve taken of all the great things I like to eat, right?

Let me say it one more time for emphasis-

If you try just one recipe from Felicia’s Videos in your entire lifetime I will suggest this one.  MAKE IT FOR YOUR FAMILY FOR CHRISTMAS AND YOU WILL BE A SUPERSTAR!!!!!!!

Frankly I’m surprised she’s sharing this with the world.  It deserves to be locked up in a high security vault.

From the Gloucester Daily Times-

To Felicia Ciaramitaro Mohan this recipe is very special. Her uncle Charlie began making this recipe for her family many years ago.  It’s become a family tradition. Unfortunately Uncle Charlie passed away and will be sorely missed by everyone this Christmas and so this year this tradition has even more meaning to her family. “I know every family member will think of Uncle Charlie while enjoying every last clam.”

We’ve been eating these every Christmas since I can remember and every Christmas it is the first thing we eat.  people that show up late miss out and the rhetoric is always the same-

All the men who know will say to the newcomers-

“You may not want to try these, they taste funny”  It’s a ploy to try to throw them off so there will be more for me.  Of course they catch on by the time we are all pounding down our 10th or 11th baked stuffed topneck.

Tried to capture the partial moon eclipse but too many trees in the way.

Da Godmuddah forwards-

Lanes Cove Fish Shack Restoration

Fund Drive

Built in the late 1800’s, the Lanes Cove Fish Shack is very much a part of the living history of Lanesville and all of Gloucester. With your help, we will restore the Fish Shack to its appearance when it was last actively used by fishermen in the 1960’s and 1970’s. The restoration will employ traditional materials, including cedar shingles, roll roofing, and rough sawn lumber.

The Shack will be restored for use by commercial fishermen. Work will begin Spring 2012.
This is a community project that needs your active support. Please share copies of this flyer with your neighbors and encourage them to join you in contributing to this historic project so that together we can reach our $80,000 goal.

Contributions should be sent to:

The Gloucester Fund, Inc.
45 Middle Street
Gloucester, MA 01930

Be sure to note in the memo line of your check that your contribution is for the Lanes
Cove Fish Shack.  Your canceled check is your receipt for this tax deductible contribution.
We also seek skilled and supervised workers to keep down the cost of restoration. Let Arnie  Shore know that you will lend a hand with the work of restoration. You can reach Arnie at arnold.shore@gmail.com
At future community meetings, we will update you on contributions, volunteers, and restoration progress.
A safe, secure, and appropriately restored Lanes Cove Fish Shack is in our future and in the future of our children.
Thank you !
