Maria Cracchiolo of Caffé Sicilia Makes the Real Tiramisu
To be authentic, Maria says you need to use real Italian espresso coffee and Savoiardi, or Italian “lady fingers.” You can find both in Italian specialty stores.
Otherwise this no-cook dessert is surprisingly easy as you can see in this video made with Maria.

Hi Joey,
The snowdrifts are piled high, but spring is on the way! The Open Door Empty Bowl Dinner is right around the corner, and we need help decorating bowls for our annual May event.
The Open Door is hosting a free bowl decorating evening with North Shore 104.9 on Tuesday, February 15, at 28 Emerson Avenue in Gloucester, from 6 to 8 p.m. for anyone interested in trying their hand at painting a bowl design. The event is fun and children are welcome, but we need to know how many are coming. Reservations can be made by calling 978-283-6776 ext. 205 or e-mailing us at info@foodpantry.org.
We think it would be wicked cool if GMG came to document the event, and maybe decorated a bowl. What do you think? Attached file has the important info. We would really appreciate it if you could let GMG readers know they can participate.

Hey Joe,
Remember me? Lewis Sandler here. I took a video of Gloucester+ last August.. Well, it is now online…(I’m a little slow)
You can see it below..But keep in mind, the video was made for my students in university in Beijing, China who have never been to US and know little about US or especially small town USA. My purpose was too introduce them to my hometown. So my video, in some aspects,(eg my family friends) may be a little irrelevant to you or your viewers. But hope you enjoy it anyway.
I showed video to them last month and they all liked it very much. They asked me questions such as why so many boats, why the belly dancer dance in the street, why the man with the beer (you) doesn’t want his wife to know he drinks beer, what does my brother (Clark) think of government fishing regulations etc..

I didn’t get a web business feature for this week, but recently got to Peabody Essex Museum in Salem and wanted to share some pics. If you have never made the trip down to Salem to check out PEM, you need to get one scheduled. It has something for everyone, including young kids. We go right to the Art & Nature center, where the kids are safe to experience much of the exhibit. The rest of the Museum is stunning and a truly visceral experience. After checking out this museum, grab a bite at one of the many restaurants within walking distance.
Thanks – Patrick
Good Morning Joey….

The Senator’s promised me a copy of his new book, and headed out by boat (it was low tide, and the ladder down was a little dicey) with a Cape Pond Ice t-shirt and fleece vest.

“LOVERS’ MOON”
By Joda Khan
mere words come to life
they have colors
they’re butterflies escaping their cocoons
shadows can feel
and fantasies are real
under a lovers’ moon
lovers embrace under night darkened skies
they trade kisses as sweet as wine
the trees standing near
seem to be caught in the spell
as their branches reach out
and entwine
under the glow of this yellow moon
every word written is gold
they speak of pyramids
of magical times
and of stories yet to be told
the eerie light of a lovers’ moon
conjurs up words never repeated while alone
and whispers that linger
on the breath of night
they seem to follow wherever you roam
so if the words in your soul must be spoken
with the eloquence of a musical tune
then arm yourselves with heart in hand
and search each night
for a lovers’ moon
E.J. Lefavour

Don’t forget! Get your mother some flowers right away! Get extra kisses from your wee ones (even if they are awkwardly unwilling 15-year-olds), give your honey a thank you and a kiss (these are free and go over well for either and both sexes.)
Low expense or free, fun things to do:

Hi Joey,
Your blog is just getting better and better – love it, love you!!
I have a blog called www.gloucesterjournal.com . It is a diary of my travels and tidbits about my spiritual wonderings, astrology, and local tidbits.
Joey — here’s a report on last night’s Blue Shutters Beachside Chili Cookoff.. I’ve attached some photos..and included a link to our blog post on this.
Thanks
Tony
It’s been just a few hours since the last of the chili leftovers were stowed in the fridge, but folks are already talking about plans for our next Blue Shutters Beachside Chili Cookoff. Last night’s event — our first-ever — featured nine different chili contestants…and even more very happy unofficial chili tasters. It was up to our judges — Jeremy Goldberg of the Cape Ann Brewing Company and Doug Silva of the Topside Grill and Pub — to chose the winner. Taking the trophy was Joe Paonessa of Stoneham, who was awarded a gift card for a free return visit to the Blue Shutters. Jeremey and Doug also chose second- and third-place runner-ups — Mark Sapienza of Stoneham and Sheri Dellagrotta of Rhode Island — and rewarded them with gift certificates to the brewery and the Topside (Mark had an a bit of an advantage…he’s the executive chef at the Langham Hotel in Boston; he’ll be back at the Blue Shutters next month to headline our wine and food tasting). The judges agreed: it was a tough decision, with a varity of chili recipes and every one was a winner. In addition to chili, guests enjoyed a selection of Cape Ann Brewery beers (courtesy of Jeremy), wine and sangria, Valentine’s desserts and all of the usual chili accompaniments. Thanks to everyone who helped make this a fun evening. We’ll be holding another Blue Shutters Chili Cookoff — once we finish off the left-overs…which could take quite awhile. But for now, our focus is set on our next event: a Mardi Gras Murder Mystery on March 5. If that’s half as much fun as the Chili Cookoff (and our pastmurder mystery nights) we’re all in for great evening.
