Chicken Thighs On The @BigGreenEgg

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Cook number 4 on the @biggreenegg Chicken Thighs. At this point what I’d say is if you have mastered the basic concepts of cooking on a Weber Kettle, there’s barely a learning curve. Start slow if you’re smoking and start tamping down your vents early for low and slow temp management. For hot indirect the plate makes cooking high heat indirect a breeze. Just let it rip, put in the deflector plate and it’s basically a huge convection oven with smoke.

No Swimming! Long Beach, Manchester, Beverly, Newburyport, Salem…

Posted on by Catherine

**Update: Long Beach cleared and open for swimming**

see Mass.gov Current Public Beach Postings here

Bacterial exceedance and/or precautionary measures were posted for 78 public beaches/swimming sites. Testing is reported out weekly on Fridays.

North Shore beaches impacted after the heavy rain posted July 19, 2023: Beverly, Lynn, Manchester, Nahant, Newbury, Newburyport, Salem, Saugus, and Swampscott.

Rockport is not listed on the state site but was reported on its website and the GDT here. Rockport shares the news on its home page

Be mindful where the water recedes. The Long Beach wrack line Sunday and Monday–at the particular time we walked and that wind & weather–degraded the closer one walked to the creek end (litter trail rough at times: syringes, needles, orange needle cap covers, feminine hygiene products, cigarette tips, etc.). We picked up, and turned back.

Another Kind Of Fishing Town

Posted on by Pat D

My visit to Alaska has been an amazing experience so far. We have spent about half our time in Homer Alaska on the Spit; a long narrow spit of land jutting out into Kachemak Bay. It’s a fishing town which advertises itself as the Halibut Capital Of The World. There are as many similarities as there are differences between Homer and Gloucester. Here are a few images and a filleting video you might enjoy.
