My View of Life on the Dock
Madeline uses five spoons to eat her two different flavors of ice cream.
A warning- Do NOT try to take one of those spoons away.
You think the ice cream will melt down quickly on a hot August afternoon? You just watch how quickly sweet little Snoop Mad will melt down if you take one of those five spoons away.
I heard from several people that Ambie was upset with me for not taking his picture during Fiesta.
Here’s the make up shot kiddo! Go see Ambie for the absolute greatest Sausage sandwiches around.

Sorry for the horribly lit photo, but to demonstrate what is going on inside, here is the horseshoe bar area at the new restaurant going in at Cruiseport Gloucester. Once the bartop is on it will take better shape.

Gloucester is absolutely loaded with fantastic pizza joints so to be voted the BEST is quite an accomplishment.

Wouldn’t now be just about the right time to start heading over to East Gloucester, past my dock and to Smokin Jim’s for some delicious BBQ for lunch?

Jim and his crew are not messing around. Their sauce is sweet and tangy with just the right amount of spiciness.

I got the combo #2. It’s hard for me to justify spending more than $10 for lunch. That seems to be where I cap out my lunch spending dollars.

Took my girls to Stone Soup on Lobster Cove yesterday morning. It was windy as hell but hat a beautiful spot.
They have a limited menu which didn’t include my favorite the Merry Breakfast Sandwich, but the home made corned beef hash was very very good. Pricing was a little on the high side but the location and setting more than make up for it.
The coffee was great too. My pal Toby tells me they brew RAO coffee.

While stopping in for my sausage egg and cheese on croissant sandwich at Cape Ann Coffee, I noticed they are building a cool new outdoor seating area. It’s a great idea.
I wish our downtown restaurants put in those cool fold away windows on the front of their buildings so we could have al fresco semi outdoor dining like they do on Newbury Street and in South Boston.

Has anyone heard of eating Marsh greens?
I’m thinking the people that try to restore and protect the salt marshes would just about shit if they heard about people promoting the eating of Marsh greens.
I’d never heard of it til i read about it on the Bay of Fundy Blog.
Not a bad deal. Three ribs, a couple pieces of chicken and some slaw.
