Sidewalk Bazaar 1986

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Joe–Since it’s Sidewalk Bazaar weekend, I thought your readers might be interested in these pictures of the same weekend event from 1986.  One of them depicts the waitstaff races, which I recall was very amusing.  They aren’t the best pictures (I like to think my photography skills have improved since then) but I think the buildings in the background are very interesting.  Perhaps others will agree.  Missing you all!  Pat and Jim D

#Chocolate Covered Bacon On The @PKGrills #PK360

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Joey Ciaramitaro's avatarNortheast BBQ

First we set up the PK 360 for indirect heat to cook the bacon using cherry wood for smoke.  Line the grill with tin foil for easy clean up.

Once the bacon is done place it on a plate with paper towels to take away excess bacon grease.  Melt semi-sweet chocolate by placing a glass bowl over a steaming pot of water and on medium-low heat.

Once chocolate is melted place a sheet of wax paper on a cookie sheet.  Using three different toppings- Himalayan Salt, Maple Pepper and Sweet Maple Seasoning.

20170805_134940-01

The bacon will be delicate so the best way to apply it is to lay it against the side of the bowl, get a god glob of chocolate on the spoon and then let it drop down onto the side of the bacon strip.  Turn and do the same on the other side.

Evelyn Dunphy Watercolor October 1, 2 and 3, 2017 10am-4pm Exploration of Color!

IMAGE ~ AUGUST 3, 2017 ~ 11PIRATES ~

This workshop will be an exploration of color and how we may broaden our understanding of its use in bringing our concepts into reality. Each painting deserves its own palette. We want to understand what color can do, what it does sometimes without our conscious decision about it, and how by understanding some of the interactions between colors, we can use that power to make our paintings more alive, and especially, more unique. No one else will make the same decisions or mixtures that you do. We can all learn the same notes, but the song won’t be the same when I sing it as it will when you do.www.evelyndunphy.com Register here http://www.nsarts.org
