Julie Geary Does Two New Years’ Appetizer Videos At The Taste of The Times

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Pesto Terrine served with Semolina Bread

According to Julie, people get tired of seeing slices of cheddar and other cheeses laid out on a platter. This is a perfect cheese alternative for your party or entertaining to start out the New Year and you can combine all of the ingredients in several minutes. You can also make this a day or two ahead and keep in your refrigerator.

This Mediterranean style dish is also a little healthier than many other appetizers. Goat cheese, cream cheese, pesto and sun-dried tomatoes are layered into a bowl. Julie shows you a simple technique for getting it onto a plate for a perfect presentation. Perfect for 20 to 25 people if it is one of several appetizers.

Sista Felicia’s Salami Crisps With Crème Fraiche Video On The Taste Of The Times

This three-ingredient appetizer from Felicia Ciaramitaro Mohan travels very well and is so simple to make. Once again all of the ingredients can be obtained in the supermarket.

Simply bake thin-cut salami slices in an oven for about 10 minutes at 325 degrees F. and dry off excess grease between two pieces of paper towel. You want to get them crispy, like a potato chip. Once they are cooled and you are ready to complete them, add a dab of crème fraiche and top off with a leaf of fresh basil. (Felicia uses a disposable piping bag to add the crème fraiche but you could use a spoon.)

Wanna Buy A Boat? The Lettie G Howard Is For Sale

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Brian Luster (Marty’s Son) writes-

Hey, Joey! It looks like the Seaport Museum in New York is trying to sell the Lettie G. Howard. This might be the chance to repatriate her to Gloucester. I’m sure someone up there would like to buy her.

Many people around here say that if there is a Schooner that most represents Gloucester’s schooner history that is still floating it would be The Lettie G.  Forgive my terrible memory because I can’t remember why or who told me that but I know I’ve heard it several times.  Perhaps some of the GMG readers who know could chime in with a comment on this post.

Here are many posts in the past with video and pictures of the Lettie G while she was here in Gloucester–

I know it’s from *blech* New York, but this blog has some fantastic photos, watercolors and stories from *blech* New York harbor.  Well worth a look.  If you are a schooner lover it’s a must visit.

Hedre’s a funny post about “Fishing Boats”- http://bowsprite.wordpress.com/2009/05/01/fishing-boats/

There’s also some beautiful watercolors of the Lettie G- http://bowsprite.wordpress.com/2009/04/19/the-schooners-of-new-york-harbor/

The author lists the Lettie G as the “Schooner Howard G. Lettie”.

I always thought it was the Lettie G Howard, goes to show how much I know about these boats.

Eric Lorden

Who Else?

Rocky Neck Plunge Info from Brenda Malloy-

Thought it may be a good idea to give people some directions on exactly where the beach is that The Rocky Neck Plunge takes place. It is called Oak Cove Beach at the end of Stevens Way, neither of which names are commonly known to most, even on Rocky Neck!
When one is driving down Rocky Neck and bears right at Sailor Stan’s restaurant, you take the first street on the  left ‘Stevens Way’. This is a short street, 2 houses long, then you must go either right or left on Wonson St.  If you were to continue straight you go down the gravel path ahead of you, this leads to Oak Cove Beach where the plunge takes place.
Hope to see a big crowd, one and all are welcome!
PEACE!

Video- Patsy Palmisano On the Wheel of the Tug Justice

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Patsy Palmisano on the wheel of the tug Justice. Jogging home after transiting the Cape Cod Canal the other night in the storm. The other vessel contacted him, and he turned on the deck lights so to get this tape. Not a pleasant night.

Thanks to Anthony D’amico for sending this in.

I’m sure our pal Tugster from the sixth borough will appreciate this.  check out his blog to read and see a ton of photos of Tugboats.
