Minglewood Harborside Bar Bites Every Sunday and Monday *bar only

Perhaps you are a little bit like me in that you allow yourself a couple of small personal indulgences during the holiday season. You should! You deserve it. My own treat for myelf is this special version of peppermint bark body wash. I was so happy to see it in Walgreens so I picked it up quickly. I did notice the warning on the back which I find kind of hysterical but I guess companies cannot underestimate young children or other mindless adults. What is your favorite self indulgence over the holidays? Please share.

From folk songs from around the globe through joyful carols to Dreamweaver, Ola Gjeilo’s luminous setting of a mystical Norwegian folk poem, this program celebrates the universal spirit of the season through harmony and hope. 

The concert is at 7 pm on Saturday, December 13, at the First Parish Church, 10 Central Street, Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA, 01944. Tickets are $25 and available at the door or on zeffy.com in advance. 

We joined friends for dinner at Seaport Grille on Rowe Square last Saturday and it was as delightful as always. I tried the red sangria which was very tasty. Our companions Susan and Leo each ordered tacos (fish and shrimp); Jim orders the scallop plate (eyes bigger than stomach) and I had the blackened haddock( quite spicy). The place was hopping following the craft show earlier in Cruiseport but we were able to be seated and served in a friendly manner. We are always glad to return to Seaport Grille once the tourist season ends…during the summer months we leave it to our visitors to enjoy the Seaport Grille for themselves.
