Hi Joey,

This Sunday, February 28, there is a wonderful opportunity for parents to bring their kids out for an afternoon of folk dancing and singing to live fiddle, guitar and accordion music.

The fun will be happening from 2:00 to 5:00 at the Gloucester UU Church. The entrance is at 10 Church Street and families are welcome to come and go throughout the afternoon.

As always, thanks!

Are fishcakes obsolete? No. 6 from Al Bezanson

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

After a podcast on fishcakes Monday morning with Joey I zoomed over to the Fort Square Café for a late breakfast.  Heidi served up this beauty from fresh hake.  She makes them only from time to time for her famed Cape Ann Reuben.

Follow along the live smoke all morning at www.northeastbbq.com

5:30AM Set up the kettle with a aluminum pan filled with water and briquettes set up snake style around the bowl for a low and slow sesh.  Lit 12 briquettes inn the chimney and dumped them on the left end of the trail of briquettes which we’re looking to gradually catch and provide steady even heat between 275-300 degrees.  using cherry chips and mesquite chunks.

I’m not sure if it’s just our local Stop and Shop market that pre-cuts the racks of beef ribs or if it’s done elsewhere as well.  I buy what’s on sale usually and they had 2.4 lbs on sale for $2.24 per lb so I couldn’t pass them up (you can’t see the sale tag in the first picture).

Did you know The Red Jacket Resort was named after a Famous Clipper ship Which Was Named After a Famous Indian?

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

A couple of weeks ago I was driving up North and when we passed through Newburyport I got to wondering why it was that Newburyport associated itself with Clipper Ships as opposed to Essex and Gloucester being associated with Essex built and Gloucester fished Schooners.

I emailed our boy Al Bezanson for some answers which he answered in yesterday’s GloucesterCast (listen here).

But then during school vacation I took the girls up to the Red Jacket Resort in North Conway which right around 40 years ago was the first place my parents took me on vacation.  When checking in at the Red Jacket Resort, right behind the desk was a framed print of the Clipper Ship The Red Jacket.

So I googled it.  Check out the results here and the interesting history of the Famed Clipper.

How soft are these kids today?

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

When I listen to a high school or college kid complain about not having enough time to do something or how difficult their life is I literally want to strangle them.  Not sure what’s worse, listening to a 30 year old male or female that’s never had a child talk about how they would handle a screaming 2 year old or a high school or college student talk about having it rough.

Newsflash- YOU WILL NEVER HAVE IT AS EASY AS YOU HAVE IT IN HIGH SCHOOL OR COLLEGE IN YOUR ADULT LIFE.

Read this shit-

“Ivy League Students Complain They Are Failing Classes Because They Don’t Have Enough Time To Balance Schoolwork and Protesting”
