Greatest News Of The Offseason for Pats Fans Yet!!!!
Read the entire post here
Now the Pats go and sign him.
Now if you need to give a pass to any GM on any professional Sports team on the face of the planet you have to give the Patriots GM that pass. No one does a better job. So I will defer to their much superior football judgment over a middle aged balding lobster dealer in Gloucester (me).
That being said, my feelings are that the ridiculous Boston Sports media is going to create such a distraction around this signing that it will ultimately be detrimental to the team. I can’t listen to the Boston Sports Media. not one of them, they all drive me up a wall with how quick they turn on players and coaches (Tito Francona anyone?)
I hope I’m wrong. I hope Tebow coming to the Pats isn’t a distraction at all. You’d like to think that professional football players don’t let what sports writers or sports talk radio hosts say affect them. Ughhhh.
I’d also like to add that I’m a fan of the way Tebow plays, I love the passion he brings to the game. Love it. Like the guy and how humble he is and all that. What I can’t stand if you haven’t figured it out by now is the Boston whinebag sports media.

Lobster Meat Debate- Tail, Knuckle, Claw. What Ya Got?
If I’m eating straight lobster meat or lobster in a a lobster roll I want a majority of the meat to be tail and knuckle meat. Claw meat is still good and all but no where near as good IMO as tail and knuckle meat for the simple fact that you get that one section of claw meat out of the skinny section of the claw that is more like sponge like in texture compared to the succulent knuckle or tail meat.
Which leads me to the lobster roll produced by Luke’s Lobster in New Yawk City.
Photos from http://newyork.seriouseats.com
Their lobster roll described here-
Whole chunks of lobster claw was stuffed in a top-split bun at Luke’s stand. Each roll was made to order, with a swipe of mayo on the inside, lemon butter and secret seasoning on top.
I’m not gonna go into a wild crazy rant because Luke’s got a lot of things right here and only a few things wrong, the point I ‘m trying to make in this post is in asking you, our viewers, would you be happy with a lobster roll that consisted of all claw meat?
The ideal lobster roll actually consists of meat from all parts of the lobster, if I got only claw meat I’d feel like I was getting jipped.
Let’s poll this to see how you feel-

And the Winners Are . . .
Photos by Charlie Carroll
The 2013 GMG Biennial Deviled Egg Competition and Mug Up was alot fun. The winners were: First Place for Taste – Linda Sojda, Second Place for Taste – E.J. Lefavour, Third Place for Presentation – Gigi Mederos, Most Like Mom’s – Janet Allen, Most Filling & Meaty – Joanne Souza, Most Devilish (and hotter than a m-f’er as Paul Morrison put it) – Amy Bell. The judging panel was made up of The Honorable Judges Joseph Ciaramitaro, Ed Collard, Adam Bolonsky, Paul Morrison and Richard Rosenfeld. The judges took their positions very seriously; from the establishment of their criteria, the categories of judging and their final decisions made while sequestered at a remote location on Madfish Wharf.
In addition to the competition and excess deviled eggs, the Mug Up was made great by the contributions of Jen and Pete Goodwin from Rockport who brought delicious stuffed jalapenos, Donna & Rick Ardizzoni (who just celebrated their 28th anniversary) brought a fresh fruit salad, Paul Morrison brought a big box of those amazing donuts from Brothers Brew in Rockport (I guess monkey bread is not out yet), Len Burgess brought muffins, Sister Felicia brought a heaping tray of her sicilian pizza. There were other contributions to Mug Up, but in the chaos of the competition, I didn’t see who brought what. Thank you all so much.
Watch for the announcement of the next food competition which will take place sometime in July.

Two important meetings this week: From Councilor Paul McGeary
Dear Friends:
Below are notices for two important meetings that will be held this week.
The first is the public hearing on next year’s budget on Tuesday.
The second is a forum to be sponsored by the Friends of Good Harbor on Thursday discussing the group’s findings on the health of the marsh system and its plans to help save the marsh and improve conditions around the beach and its ecosystem.
Both are important to us as citizens of Gloucester and are open to the public.
Hearing on City Budget
The City Council will hold a hearing on the city budget for Fiscal Year 2014, which begins in July, on Tuesday, June 11, at 7 p.m. in the Kyrouz Auditorium at City Hall. This is your chance as citizens to make your feelings known to the Council and the City Administration about how you think the city’s limited funds should be spent. If you cannot make the hearing, you can watch in on Cable (Ch. 12) or you may email the mayor or any member of the Council with your thoughts or suggestions. The decisions we make in the next couple of weeks will have an impact on all our lives, please take the time to familiarize yourself with the spending plan and to weigh in on it.
