Pineapple + Digestion

Ayurveda and Pineapple….

Ayurveda Wellness Healing, LLC loves the powerful digestive enzymes found in Pineapple such as bromelian. Eat this wonderful fruit to help enhance sluggish or weak digestion.

Pineapple is useful in both indigestion and loss of appetite. It’s juicyness hydrates you as well! Pineapple clears heat and replenishes your strength, energy levels and is helpful with diarrhea, bronchitis, sinusitis and arthritis.

Use Pineapple with any meal….layer slices on ham prior to baking, pineapple grilled skewers, on top of a burger or chicken sandwich, add to your salsa or guacamole – the digestive properties of pineapple combine well with many foods. But DON’T mix pineapple with dairy or yogurt as this combination clogs the channels.

USS Constitution re-launch From Sherman “Pat” Morss jr

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Joey:

Here are a few photos of USS Constitution’s re-launch from dry dock in the Charlestown Navy Yard last Sunday after 26 months of restoration (that’s why she missed leading the Tall Ship Parade of Sail a few weeks ago).  She launched on the astronomical high tide about 11:30 pm.

#Ribeye cooking in garlic butter on cast iron with the @webergrills Smokey Joe.

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Joey Ciaramitaro's avatarNortheast BBQ

Half a chimney of hot coals in the Smokey Joe, vents wide open.  Let cast iron pan heat up.  Pat dry the steak to remove any moisture then coat with  EVOO and season with salt pepper garlic .  Insert thin garlic shavings into small cuts in the steak.

Once cast iron pan is hot put in a good glob of butter and let it just start to brown and then slap your ribeye on.  Don’t move it.  Let it work with the butter and the pan to get some good browning (read flavor).  When you see the edges of the steak curl up a bit then you can lift to check if you got the browning you want on the first side.  Flip and do it to the other side and then hold the steak with the tongs and brown that fat cap along the side.  Drizzle with butter to…

gypsy moths killing our trees

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Dear Joey, I am asking you to send a message to our Gloucester people to inform them of our calamity with the gypsy moths. To some, the trees around them were not affected, but to many especially in the west Gloucester area our trees were decimated this year. They are now growing a second set of leaves, but for a while there it looked like fall came early. All those caterpillar munched and munched our trees. Then they layed cacoons and then they turned into male and female moths. Then they layed eggs on trees, rocks, car tires etc. I have been trying to help my trees in my yard by scraping off the eggs into a plastic zip top bag and putting soap in the bag to kill the eggs and disposing of the bag in the trash. I have been through 2 gallon sized bags so far and never left my property. I was wondering if you could spread the word to Gloucester tree lovers to do the same when they take walks in the forests of Gloucester. It doesn’t take much and kids can help. A spoon, a paintbrush and a plastic bag. By placing the bag under the egg masses, scraping the bark of the tree, and brushing tight areas with the brush, carefully getting all the eggs into the bag. Next year all these eggs may hatch and we will be attacked by millions of caterpillars and moths worse than this year. Yuck. never mind what our trees will look like. Please pass it on Joey, if we all help, there will be less next year. Thanks, Deb Gilbert Herrick of West Gloucester MA

WILLIE ALEXANDER BASS ROCKS VIDEO FROM THE EARLY EIGHTIES

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Reblogged from the early days of the blog-

Posted on April 28, 2009 by  7 comments Edit Post

Back in the eighties I heard this song on WBCN once, just once.  I loved it but never found out who sang it and always wanted to find out.

Fast forward 20 plus years and I’m at the library thumbing through the cd collection and lo and behold I run across Willie Alexander’s “The East Main Street Suite” cd and the third song is “Bass Rocks”

I had an idea for making a video of Back Shore photos put to Willie’s song and asked his permission which he kindly granted.

But in Willie’s email he asked which version I had, “The East Main Street Suite” version or “the earlier version“?

Intrigued, I checked youtube for “the earlier version”

That’s when I found the following video and decided to scrap my project in favor of Willie’s early eighties music video-

Check out Willie’s website by clicking this text

You can even check out Willie’s wikipedia page by clicking this text

Did you know that Gloucester resident and bad ass Willie Alexander was a part of The Velvet Underground?

BTW Willie if you read this, I think you look like you are in way better shape now than you were back in the early eighties.
