This may look like an awesome lobster roll but it misses on just a couple key points.

A) If the bun was the simple pull apart New England style bun it would have all that white bread exposed on the sides of the bun to butter and when you grilled it it would be golden brown instead of the whole exterior of the bun being the brown that doesn’t absorb the butter.

B) They left the stringy spongy tip of the claw meat in which should have been taken off.

Other than that, the technique was spot on. With just a couple of modifications it could have been perfect.

I guess if you wanted to get technical, leaving the whole tail intact instead of chopping it up is going to make it tougher to eat without pulling out the whole section of tail meat. It would be difficult to bite all the way through.

Must Have For Any True BBQ Fan- Pro Dimpled Meat Cutting Knife

Joey Ciaramitaro's avatarNortheast BBQ

In the past I’ve struggled to get those nice even clean cuts when slicing large cuts of meat.  When watching lots of youtube and instagram videos there was one constant with what the pros were using- a dimpled slicing knife.

Didn’t know it could make such a difference but now that I’ve had one for a couple of months I can say that for $24.99 its probably the best BBQ accesory money I’ve spent all year long.

Here’s the link to the one I got

These cuts are about 3/16 inch thick and sliced perfectly and effortlessly.

Hi Joey I know people must be pretty sick of the snow after the past 3 northeasters but there is a certain beauty to freshly fallen snow when the sun comes out the day after the storm.

Heidi — 

Our regional chapters help us stay connected with each municipality across the state. One of our newest chapters, MassBike North Shore, is focused on connecting local communities to improve the cycling experience for all through advocacy and education. In order to make this happen the goals of the group are:

  • To set up regional communication channels to state and local governments to advocate for cycling
  • To create a resource group that will be available to respond to circumstances in a manner that is both proactive (public hearings, meetings, education, events, etc.) and responsive (crashes, road repairs, policy issues, etc.)
  • To foster and grow events that identify connections and infrastructure around the region as well as to celebrate the victories as they come
  • To create a forum for local groups to network with other groups to develop successful advocacy strategies

Please join us at Atomic Cafe in Beverly, MA on Sunday 3/18 at 3 PM for updates and information from MassBike North Shore (MBNS)!

We are looking for anyone who is interested in being involved in education, advocacy and community support in every community on the North Shore. The advisory board for the MBNS will give a brief presentation and then there will be time for open forum discussion as well as networking and socializing. Please join us for an afternoon of community, advocacy and cycling talk!

MASTERWORKS BY HAYDN AND SCHUBERT ON SUNDAY, MARCH 18

The Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation hosts a performance of Haydn’s Mass in Time of War, and Schubert’s Magnificat in C on Sunday, March 18 at 3:00 p.m. at the Gloucester Meetinghouse at the corner of Middle and Church Street.  Doors open at 2:30; come early for the best seats. The performance features the outstanding Cambridge-based Spectrum Singers, distinguished soloists, and a large orchestral ensemble.

Spectrum Singers Music Director, John Ehrlich, describes the two monumental works. “Haydn’s Mass in Time of War bristles with abundant energy and amazing choral and orchestral effects,” he notes. “The trumpets and tympani are boldly featured, painting the sounds of war that were occurring nearby as Haydn composed the music in 1796. Schubert, whose work bridged the Classical and Romantic periods, is renowned for his treatment of melody and harmony. His Magnificat in C, written when…
