Here are some photos I took at the taping-

Taping of Bacala Video with Felicia and Sefatia Part 2 From Gianni Gallo and Joe Langhan
Gianni and Joe are the men behind the Taste of The Times Videos at the Gloucester Daily Times Website- this is from them-
Felicia and Sefatia (“the Godmother”) got together to tape a segment on how Felicia’s Grandmother taught her to make a special bacala dish for the traditional Italian meal of the seven fishes on Christmas Eve. This is the second of three parts of the original footage. The entire shoot lasted over 45 minutes, which was edited down to a 10 minute video. (You can see that video at http://food.gloucestertimes.com/video/Baccala-Italian-Style-Codfish.html) Some have asked to see the entire production, with little or no editing. Here is Part 2

Six Weeks of Fresh Flowers, for Nine Dollars!
The last stalk of ‘Orange Sovereign’ was cut, the plant discarded, and the pot tucked away for next year’s Hippeastrums. If we had a spare sunny window, I would feed and water the plant during the winter then place outside on the patio during the warm summer months, allowing the plant to replenish and rejuvenate.
Looking back at my photo files, the first snapshot of ‘Orange Sovereign’ was from December 15, 2011; the photo below was taken January 30, 2012. Growing flowering bulbs during the winter is a terrific and economical way to keep the home lively with cheery color, in spite of the gloomy grays of winter.

Rockport Represents in Vieques, Puerto Rico
I just got back from an amazing vacation in Vieques, Puerto Rico. The beaches are beautiful and at times you can have a whole beach to yourself. We stayed at a wonderful house in the Pilon hills of Vieques at Mockingbird Hill. The views from the deck were amazing and the breeze throughout the house was wonderful.
We did a lot of fun things, like diving, snorkeling and got to kayak the bio luminescent bay, which was so unique. We kayaked the bay at night and was able to see all the bio luminescent dinoflagellattes light up like liquid sparkles. When the water is disturbed they light up. You could even see the light trails from fish that swam by. Unfortunately I couldn’t capture the experience in photos or video, you really need a special light sensitivity camera.
Another highlight of our trip was sitting down to breakfast at a restaurant called Belly Button’s on the Malecon in Esperanza. Above our heads in the rafters was a photo of Rockport! Unfortunately the waitresses didn’t know the origin and thought it was a place in Maine. What a small world!

Main Street, circa 1880
Main Street, Gloucester, circa 1880 Alice M. Curtis/©Fredrik D. BodinHere’s another very old photograph, of similar vintage to the City Hall image I posted two months ago. The camera angle is from the Bradford Building on Main Street. In the distance is Beacon Hill and Governor’s Hill. The steeple on the left is today’s Universalist Unitarian Church, and the one on the right became Temple Ahavat Achim in 1950, sans steeple. Main Street is still without trolley tracks, which arrived in 1884. The small street in the middle left is Center Street, bordered now by Gabrielle’s Antiques and Passports Restaurant. In the lower right is Hancock Street, passing between a pharmacy (note the mortar and pestle on the building’s exterior) and Ellery’s Furniture. Those shops are now Menage Gallery and The Curtain Shop respectively. To my eye, Main Street looks pretty much the same. Lucky for us.

By the way, I’m waiting for our first significant snowfall to post something special from the collection. Mayor Kirk and Duckworth’s will like this one.

New Segment- Gloucester House For Sale Of The Week
Talking to Kenny MacCarthy, my podcasting buddy and a man I know to be a man of integrity and around the Real estate business forever I asked him to send me what seemed like a great property for someone thinking about either moving to or relocating within Gloucester.
Of course all of you know my affinity for God’s Country (East Gloucester) so we will start out there with a 4 bedroom house in an awesome neighborhood within a hop skip and a jump to Duckworth’s Bistrot and Smith Cove views. A short bike ride or walk to Niles Beach or Oakes Cove beach on rocky Neck and the killer elementary school that is with an intensely involved PTA at East Gloucester Elementary.
Here’s the property Kenny pulled up- Now Kenny putting this in front of you and with my recommendation as a great realtor I would hope you would call him to have him show you the property at his cell phone number –
