Panko Encrusted Armadillo Eggs- Hells Yeah!
This is what they looked like before they hit the grill-
I substituted Jalapeno peppers for the hatch chiles and instead of trying to measure out the long list of spices I just scooped out a tub of jalapeno flavored cream cheese, dumped in a couple of handfuls of shredded cheddar and mixed in the rub that I had on my desk for the stuffing. Way easier IMO.
The cooking instructions from the recipe were spot on, so follow those and you’ve got a simple killer game day appetizer. If this stiff can prepare them on his desk at the dock, you should be able to pull this off with ease.

Backyard Growers Fall Harvest Day 2015
Hey Joey!
Backyard Growers just had Fall Harvest Days at all 5 elementary schools in town. Could you post this?
In the course of just two weeks of Fall Harvest Days this September, 1,300 Gloucester students harvested a combined 500 pounds of veggies with Backyard Growers. All 5 elementary schools in the district harvested the crops students planted in their school gardens last spring. Parents, school food service staff, and Backyard Growers’ FoodCorps and MassLIFT service members prepared the veggies and students sampled them at lunch to complete the full seed-to-fork experience. The kids voted on what they thought of the potatoes, squash, pumpkins, beets, and carrots, and results showed that they LOVED them! Speaking of the kids response to the veggies, East Gloucester mother Dawn Sarrouf said, “I think they like them because they grew them.”
Special guests Representative Ann Margaret Ferrante, Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken, Councilman Bill Fonvielle, Superintendant Richard Safier, Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning Arthur Unobskey, Executive Director of The Open Door Julie LaFontaine, and Director of Distribution and Nutrition at The Open Door Jen Perry all stopped by to spend some time out in the gardens with the kids.
Cape Ann TV made a video of the event at Veterans. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=govIGtwmpTI
Thanks Joey!

Looking Up Hancock St. Gordon Parks 1937 / Joey C 2015
Hancock St looking up toward City Hall Gloucester from Rogers Street. Bottom right in the photo would be Topside Grill and bottom left in the photo would be Turtle Ally. Gordon Parks was a black man who died in 2006 at age 93. He directed the movie Shaft and was a photographer for Life magazine. I find it interesting that a black man in 1943 was roaming the country taking photos that would be acclaimed.

Praying With Color
The First Baptist Church in Gloucester, located at 38 Gloucester Avenue, will begin a 5-week experience combining Lectio Divina and an art component based on the book Praying In Color by Sybil MacBeth. Lectio Divina is a Benedictine model for reading, praying and contemplating Scripture as the living Word of God. Beginning on Thursday, October 8 from 6:30pm-7:30pm we will gather in the church Sanctuary to pray and meditate using paper and colored pencils or pens. All instruction and materials are provided and this experience is free and open to the public. No artistic bent necessary. If you can draw a line and a dot and you are open to the leading of the Spirit, you can participate. Young people who can be meditative for the hour are also welcome.

Pretty sure this is Beannie Nicastro’s Wharf (Felicia Oil) Back in 1937 and The Same Scene That I Captured in 2012
Gloucester Coal building is in the background, now the lumber shed for The Building center which you can see in the 2012 picture just to the left behind the F/V Mary and Josephine. It also looks like the building at the end of the right pier has the same pitched roof as the one in the 2012 photo.

There are a ridiculous amount of photos from Gloucester, figured maybe some of your readers would find this interesting.
