Salmon with Seafood Risotto! I have yet to have anything that isn’t wonderful here and so family friendly!

I have such a hard time not eating the food before I take the picture…
Are you excited for the Block Party tomorrow?!!
Here are some pics from the last one with Jimmy T and the Lovely Laurel, an accordionist at Valentinos, young buskers Seth Perkins and Jay Frye, Hemoglobin boards including the upcoming workshop flyer, and some other fun shots of Main Street at night. Enjoy!
A bit pricey for lunch, but then again I have never been sent to heaven with an egg-salad sandwich and homemade potato chips, oh my!
“Another opener! Judythe Meagher opens her solo exhibit “Gloucester Up Close and Personal” at the North Shore Arts Association, starting today and showing through the 31st. These new works promise to be even more spectacular than the watercolors, oils and acrylics found at her Rocky Neck gallery. She is hosting a reception on Friday, August 20th, 5-7.”

Don’t forget that the Farmer’s Market is happening today 3:30–6:30pm! The peaches have been amazing the last few weeks and you know they’re good when your two-year-old could care less about ice cream and throws fits for peaches. That’s what I’m saying! Juicy, dripping, delicious, better than ice cream fresh fruit. Isn’t it amazing that they just hang there on trees waiting to be picked by our favorite local farmers?
Join the Farmer’s Market and get yourself a neat little sticker like this and feel all squishy inside (like a peach) knowing that you’re supporting your local people:
“FIND YOUR ROOTS!”
Squish! Peachy Keen…
Kudos to the Pleasant Street Tea Co for not only serving up one of the nicest Chocolate Mint Smoothies and yummy little macaroons, but for canceling plans and staying open late for our Crunchy North Shore Parents mommies night out meet-up so we could all hang out and enjoy! Nice!

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) means that you invest in the farm by paying at the planting season so the farmer has money for seed and then you get a share of the food they produce.
Our CSA keeps us in touch with reality of the seasons, the food, and gets us outside. (Not to mention it’s a great value and delicious!) It is so much fun every week picking up our produce and cutting flowers and herbs. Almost every week has pick your own such as blueberries and beans the week this was taken.
Here is the haul from our small share a few weeks back plus some focal art from my wee one…
Many local farms offer them and at less than $20 a week it’s a great value for our small share. If you’re interested, find a local CSA here at Local Harvest.
Good Morning Gloucester
