Hello,
My name is Tara White and I am a local artist who specializes in polymer clay ornaments and jewelry. I recently started following your blog through WordPress, where I have my own blog. I wanted to find out if you ever write posts that feature local artists. If so, I would be very interested in being featured. I have been investing more and more of my time in promoting myself and I know that you have a very faithful following. I know that it would be beneficial to have even the smallest mention. I hope this is not too forward, but I figured it can’t hurt to ask! I really look forward to your reply.
Best regards,
Tara White

Hi Joey,

Our next dance is Saturday, August 24, 8:00 PM at the First Baptist Church, 38 Gloucester Ave., Gloucester.

Joey: I noted the photos on Good Morning Gloucester of Adventure sailing again last week. Here are a couple I took in 1988 – the first of Adventure returning to Gloucester, and the second of her appearing in the Labor Day schooner race. Best, Pat Morss
Another great day (and night) off to relax in Gloucester.

This story was forwarded to me by no less than 4 people and while by today’s standards it sure is a huge Halibut I remember my dad telling me stories about our Grandfather routinely landing Halibut aboard the Benjamin C that were as big as the forktuck.
So I don’t know if the world record is for something like a rod and reel record but from what my dad used to say those fish “back in the day” were caught all the time.
Maybe some of the old timers like Ron Gilson or our regular fishermen readers like Joe Testaverde can chime in on this.
Protein, light and packed with flavor. Killer lunch!
Can you chime in on the new bike lanes?
Please and Thank You 🙂

Hi Everyone,
I love hearing people’s stories of why food and cooking is important to them- whether it’s how they’re putting it on their own table, getting out there with a message to make the food system better, or teaching someone else your best recipes and tips.
When I began my publishing career, there wasn’t any crowd-sourcing help or a way to get the message out to tons of people to fund books. Truth be told, I self-published my first book before it was picked up and published years later! Luckily, there are a ton of different ways to get the message out today, and I’ve found these two Kickstarter campaigns that I wanted to spread to all of you Mad Hungry-ers.
Sista Felicia’s Sicilian Cookbook
As a fellow Italian and for those of you that have watched my show, some of my best food memories are of cooking from my family’s Italian heritage. Those recipes are filled with warmth, comfort, history and flavor. Felicia is on an ambitious mission to share her family’s recipes and traditions through a series of 4 cookbooks that will embody her “commitment to ensure the past is not lost but is forever saved for future generations”. Felicia has just a little more to go on her goal and has 10 days left.
Take a minute to watch their videos, read their blogs and Facebook pages, and if you feel empowered by Felicia, please donate!
Best,
LSQ

“Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils.”
Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) suggested by Rick Isaacs
Born in France, Berlioz was initially sent to Paris to study medicine, but spent the majority of his time in the library of the Conservatoire, in which he later enrolled to study composition. He himself was influenced by Beethoven, Gluck, and Mozart, among others, but would go on to have a profound effect on symphonic music, especially in powerful instrumentation, along with Liszt and Wagner, his contemporaries. Much of Berlioz’s work was inspired by the poetry of Byron, Goethe, and Shakespeare; his best known work, Symphonie fantastique, was inspired in part by Thomas deQuincey’s Confessions of an Opium Eater. Later in life, Berlioz came full circle, returning to the Paris Conservatoire to serve as Head Librarian. Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov all gave credit to Berlioz for work that pre-figured their own.
