Hi Joey, A quick pic that you can post, to help remind all to Shovel out those Hydrants, one just never knows. This stuff will turn rock solid tonight, and then what. Minutes could be the difference.
Thanks

Incredible colors at sunset at Magnolia Pier.


First To Butterfly The Flank Steak with the grain.

Try to get it squared off when split open and laid out.

Season with whatever you’d like, I used Montreal Steak seasoning.

Next add Feta (you can use other cheeses like goat cheese if you prefer). leave a little margin around the edges without stuffing ingredients.

Add sliced roasted red peppers and pepperoncini.

Next Prosciutto di Parma

Roll tightly and secure with butchers string.

Season the outside. here I used Italian herb seasoning.

Check back for more updates.
Once grill was 350 degrees at grate temp I seared the stuffed flank steak, rolling every couple of minutes until each side had color.


Next place foil down on the charcoal grate under where we will place the stuffed flank steak, moving the roll offset the coals. We will close the lid, place a couple of chunks of apple wood over the coals for smoke and wait til she hits 130 internal to pull it off.

The Money Shot!

Beautiful snow at Stage Fort Park

Thanks to the Holiday Delights Youth Acting Program at Gloucester Stage, I had the lucky chance to spend some time with artist Carol Kriekis. I thought her home and studio were a perfect reflection of her warmth and style, elegant and layered like an Aesthetic Movement interior. Kriekis works in different media, mostly grounded in representation. I saw series inspired by nature and renderings of flowers.
Recently she’s transformed her classic ‘Glosta’ and other Gloucester designs into oval stickers, each with some hand flourish. The potential for art everywhere around us — stickers, hand painted– that had me thinking about aestheticism, too. 
Photograph below shows some new branding design by Carol. There’s something coming this spring for Caffe Sicilia…No reveals, yet.

I went to 525 the other night for dinner and drinks with a couple great friends. Two Magnolia Mules, some shared calamari, beet and ricotta salad, and fish tacos….followed by a delicious espresso and some obscene (in a good way) dessert. Everything was delicious! If you haven’t been in a while it is probably time to head on over!

I feel like if you’ve been here for more than ten minutes you already know how incredible the portions and service at The Causeway Restaurant On Essex Ave in Gloucester.
But in case you needed a reminder- thus is the time of the year you can actually get in and be seated right away.
Captain Pete Mondello and I enjoyed lunch here today.

Saint Anthony’s Chapel, early this morning when it was still snowing. I am hoping to post a second batch of photos from later today, of the hauntingly beautiful scenes of snow- and ice-shrouded Gloucester however the branches and phone lines are laden and our lights keep flickering on and off. I hope we don’t lose power tonight but won’t be surprised if we do.
