Sunday Dinner At Sista Felicia’s

Barbeque Ribs, Mudiga Steaks, Italian Wedding Soup, Pumpkin Pizzelle. Greek Salad.  The Mrs also made a molten lava chocolate cake which ended up being the knock out punch and an exclamation mark to the final day before my diet starts in earnest.

The woman is a beast in the kitchen.

Sista Felicia Makes Pumpkin Pizzelle and a Sneak Peak at Her Highly Coveted Insano Cookbook

She has every recipe typed out with step by step pictures and directions. Pictured is just a binder with all of them printed out from her digital files and in a ginormous 3 ring binder.  Some brilliant publisher is going to make her an offer.  With her already built in audience from these pages and The Gloucester Times Taste of The Times it’s sure to be a hit.

Are you planning to buy one when it gets published?

Atwood and Scones In The GDT Food For Thought Column

Let me first state that the first couple of times I’d eaten a scone they left me wholly unimpressed.  Dry, hard and crumbly and far inferior to your everyday muffin.

But then one day it happened.  I popped into Alexandra’s Bread Co for my usual 4 cobbles. Two for me and one each for Snoop Maddie Mad and The Bean.  They were all out of cobbles but John suggested I try a scone.  I explained my disdain for scones and he told me a story that I’ll never forget and have relayed to my children.

When you try something new that you wouldn’t ordinarily try and then you discover you like it, it’s like you’ve made a new friend for life.  I’m all about making new friends, it’s what I live for.  I know some people are happy having only one or two good friends but in my life I feel like if 1 is good 100 is way better.

So I try the scones at Alexandra’s bread Co and let me tell you, I was blown away.  These goddamn scones were moister than ones I had eaten in the past, they were scrumptious.

So try out Atwood’s recipe which you can find by clicking this link at The Gloucester Daily Times website-

Food For Thought: Exalting of scones is no food fiction

Food For ThoughtHeather Atwood

But if you’re a no-cooking fool like me and won’t get around to trying Atwood’s recipe head on down to Alexandra’s bread Company for the tastiest damn scones I’ve ever eaten, they’re one of my friends for life I’ve discovered thanks to John.

Hey Joey C–
Josh here from Geeks Who Drink.
We’re a live-hosted pub quiz company launching a quiz May 9 in Gloucester, and we’re looking to hire a quizmaster. You seem really connected. Surely, you must know someone interested. Open mikers? Would love any assistance.
We’ll be in town next soon auditioning performers to host the quiz, and I was hoping you could give me some advice on finding folks. It’s a weekly, paid gig — cash and a bar tab — and a great way to get comfortable on a mic and own a room. Comedians, improv folks, actors, radio DJs, roller derby announcers all make great quizmasters. Anyone who is, or imagines themselves to be, a performer.
We’re launching our quiz soon at the Cape Ann Brewing.
Below I’ve pasted the link to a YouTube video that explains what it means to be a quizmaster, as well as a link to the online application. If you could share the video and application (social media rules!), it would be much appreciated. Also, if you can recommend other ways to reach out to people, I’d love that.
