The Open And Closed Case Against Teflon Coated Cookware

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

This is an actual pan I’ve been using for months.

As a man of honor I have to admit my stupidity that I didn’t realize that this was actual the teflon coating peeling off rather than some seasoning that was stuck to the bottom of the pan.

I feel pretty dumb because I had heard people complaining about the teflon part on teflon pans coming off but I’d just relegated that to people from stainless steel pan companies planting false stories to scare people from buying teflon pans.

My rationale went something like this-

The Government steps all over and over regulates everything to death so there’s no way they would allow teflon pans to exist in the marketplace if the actual teflon would flake off and people would thereby end up eating it would they? By my way of thinking, surely not.

Also my beautiful wife Kate who has much better eyes than I do and is at least 10 times more critical about what she eats than I am would never consciously use a pan that had flaking teflon on it, would she???

But here we are. This is triple negative bananas.

Needless to say I’m looking for a good recommendation for a good, safe all purpose pan to cook eggs, bacon, brown my lobster roll buns. Not cast iron because we have a glass cooktop. Any tips for me?

This is what I ended up as a replacement because of it’s price during today’s Prime day and the overwhelming number of positive review- Link to purchase here

CAPA 2023 Quick Draw — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

This is Cape Ann Plein Air week, and I always enjoy the Quick Paint that gathers the artists together in a concentrated area to produce their paintings in just 2-hours.

The venue was all of Harbor Loop, but most artists favored Maritime Gloucester’s docks.
The deck overlooking Maritime Gloucester had a great vantage point.
It’s fun watching how different artists interpret a similar view, here with an hour still to go.
As a backdrop, schooner Adventure offers inspiration.
Concentration and discipline are the name of the game.
Even her special mittens are part of the composition.
Lynx sits across the harbor, docked at Ocean Alliance’s headquarters, the Paint Factory.
Beth is pleased with her version of Lynx and the Paint Factory.
Some of the artists test their balance on the floating dock.
With 10-minutes to go, finishing touches are applied to Adventure’s gunwale.
And the bell rings – “Put down your brushes.”
Framing, judging, and a public sale followed at the tent for both CAPA and guest artists.

Seaside Cemetery Event Saturday Oct 14

Posted on by Pat D

Chris Maney submits the following information for an event at Seaside Cemetery Sat Oct 14 from a post on Cape Ann Community blog:

BAD CHOICES, BAD LUCK

~ cmaney27

At Seaside Cemetery on Saturday, October 14th, from 2 to 4PM the free cemetery event, “Bad Choices, Bad Luck”, will give you the opportunity to meet a group of people who died in Gloucester between 1905-1933 and were buried in the City Home Lot of Seaside Cemetery.

In appearance the City Home Lot is a grassy, open field with slight undulations that shelters the bodies of 118 individuals.  Only 5 individual burial markers currently exist. The stories you will hear involve those individuals that died in the Gloucester almshouse or were unclaimed at the time of death or died as unknowns.

Present day Gloucester locals will assume the persona of those interred in the City Home Lot so that their individual stories can be shared with you.

The stories told come from extensive research by Sharron Cohen who unearthed the details of those buried in the City Home Lot.

To enter Seaside Cemetery (88R Langsford Street, Gloucester, MA 01930) from Lanesville, take the second left off Langsford Street or to enter from Rockport, take the second right off Langsford Street. Attendants will direct you to a parking spot. The cemetery’s roads are narrow and uneven so please be patient and drive slowly. The terrain in the cemetery is irregular, so be cautious when walking. Rain date Sunday, October 15, 2023, at 2PM.

For more details and registration go to https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bad-choices-bad-luck-tickets-726363772597?aff=oddtdtcreator

See you on the 14th!

OakToberfest at Oak To Ember

Posted on by Pat D

We celebrated Oaktoberfest as well as GMG Jim’s birthday at Oak to Ember on Rogers St Monday night. We had never been to a special event by Neal and the crew at Oak to Ember, and this one was so much fun we will be on high alert for future events. The company was good, the service was attentive and the food / drink were outstanding. I tried the pork schnitzel and Jim had a brat. It was a great place for a celebration. Thanks for a fun evening!
