Couple of key steps- patting your chicken thighs down with paper towels, using peanut oil, and high indirect heat- 450F, they can cook til 185 internal.
Half a cup of honey, quarter cup of sriracha, four of five shakes from a bottle of soy. Warm it, mix it, put it aside.
Take your chicken thighs and pat them down thoroughly with paper towels, then put them in a bowl and drizzle peanut oil on them to lightly coat.
I then used Big Cock Ranch Special Shit rub from my good friend Pauline at Pauline’s Gifts and then a coating of McCormicks Mesquite seasoning. Put them aside after the rub is administered and get the kettle set up.
Set up grill for high indirect heat. I use a slow n sear and lay down about 12 unlit briquettes in it and then light a full chimney of briquettes til they’re mostly…
CORRECTION: Our ornitholigist daughter has just let me know the Red-tailed Hawk chased by the crows, that I posted a couple of hours ago, is actually a first-year Bald Eagle. She says the juveniles get their white heads in their 4th year. How ’bout that?

This morning I watched another of several encounters between crows and a Red-tailed Hawk. Physical contact by 4 crows happened in the air, and I only caught one shot as the Red-tail headed to the ground for refuge. The other photos are of 3 crows doing fly-bys to encourage the hawk to leave.

I would like to inform you that I have been able to coordinate the efforts of the City of Gloucester Department of Public Works and MASSDOT to have two new informational signs put up on Route 127 at the intersections of Hesperus Avenue and Raymond Street that read “MAGNOLIA SHOPS AND DINING”. In addition, the existing sign in Manchester-by-the-Sea that was turned and covered in brush has also been addressed by MASSDOT. There is also another sign that will be put up at the Magnolia end of the Hammond Castle Parking lot. This sign is being repainted by a local sign painter and being done so at the property owner’s expense. I hope these additions will help guide visitors to your business and help with your success. The request for assistance came from Ward Councilor Sean Nolan, Mayor Theken, and David Bergeron of Beauport Hearing Care. Senator Tarr and his staff realize how much small business drives the economy and it was a pleasure for us to be able to help in this situation. Please do not hesitate to reach out in the future.

Did you stockpile canned goods last winter and now you’re concerned they may expire before you can eat them? Consider donating your surplus (but not-yet-expired) foods to the Open Door’s Food Pantry in Gloucester. And, what about the clutter piles that started multiplying in your house over the winter? Pack up your unwanted holiday gifts, toys, or clothes that you don’t wear or fit into anymore and donate them to the Second Glance thrift shop, which is also operated by the Open Door.
Now’s the time to do your spring cleaning, and your donated items and efforts can benefit a family-in-need, many of whom relied on community services for the first time last year when the pandemic began. The shop accepts many items in good condition including clothes, kitchenwares, small appliances, furniture, art, and unique home decor pieces.
While vaccination rates are rising and some Covid related restrictions are being lifted, no one knows how long it will be before the job market (and life!) returns to what we remember as normal. “All proceeds benefit the community by supporting the hunger relief programs of the Open Door,” said Susan Zwart, Director of Thrift Store Operations. “We are so grateful to the community for their donations. Keep the treasures coming!”
