Happy Luau on Niles Beach!
With ukelelists, singing, leis, grass skirts, hula-hoops, an island-style feast, and a fleet of wa’a kaukahis (kids in kayaks)–this was a Niles Beach Sunday not to be missed!
Dawn Sarrouf and Michelle Anderson
Thank you to Dawn and Michelle for inviting me to stay and have a bite of Esme’s wonderful luau birthday feast. John and Dawn prepared the most yummy pulled pork, served on Mandy’s homemade potato rolls, and guests contributed super delicious accompaniments, including the best bean salad, homemade, crunchy coleslaw, and Nicole Duckworth’s to-die-for death-by-chocolate cake.

Mix in a Wicked Tuna Seafood Throwdown and a few other surprises for a show you don’t want to miss. Here’s a short preview of the energy you can expect from this show!

Sista’s Favorite Kitchen Gadget of the week!
IPAC Inox-Stainless Steel Fresh Herb Mill
It’s time to start jazzing up your marinades, salads, and side dishes with the fabulous flavors of fresh herbs, and produce from local farms! Put the winter recipes away…”Summer Cooking” has officially begun! Think Fresh, Fabulous and Flavorful when preparing meals…This week many CSA Farm Programs kick off their 2014 along with dozens of weekly community Farmers markets throughout the North Shore area. Because I’m so excited to finally have an abundance of fresh locally grown produce, and herbs at my finger tips for the next several months, I thought I’d feature my IPAC Inox-Stainless Steel Fresh Herb Mill. This handheld mill is by far the most used kitchen gadget, in my kitchen during the summer months. It’s easy to use, and cuts through herbs with minimal bruising, making pretty flake like cuts that are the perfect size to use to dress up a platted meal with a fresh professional look.
*Friendly Reminder~ “The Cape Ann Farmers Market” held at Stage Forth Park, begins Thursday June 12 at 3 pm.

We’ve got a moth down… I repeat we’ve got a moth down. Send In A Medic STAT!
Prognosis, not good. This big ass moth had his belly half smooshed on the sidewalk just outside of Last Stop Variety.
Moth ID from all you butterfly/moth freaks out there please?
(the only reason I’m saying this is a moth is because the owner corrected me inside Last Stop) I woulda said Butterfly all day every day.
The GDT Is The Voice Of Reason In The Beverly High Cigar Atrocity
June 10, 2014
Editorial: MIAA, school chiefs should learn from Beverly cigar fiasco
High school graduations have once again made spring an optimistic time across Cape Ann and around the North Shore.
In nearly every community, we are treated to a sea of cap-and-gown clad seniors, valedictory speeches that are at once soaring, hopeful and humorous, and smiles of unfiltered joy from young men and women who walk across the stage to accept their diplomas.
Leave it to the adults to stomp out the fun.
Check out the entire editorial here
I was gonna write a rant about the ridiculousness of it all but I was just too disgusted.
Politically Correct crap times a bajillion- the ruination of our great country.
