At the Gloucester Daily Times Taste of The Times They Are Featuring Felicia’s Video Recipes Of Our Uncle Charlie’s  Baked Stuffed Topnecks.  This was our Uncle Charlie’s recipe and is hands down absolutely my number one of all times favorite things to eat.

Read that again- MY NUMBER ONE ALL TIME FAVORITE THINGS TO EAT.

If you try just one recipe from Felicia’s Videos in your entire lifetime I will suggest this one.

Follow her instructions precisely.  Do not try to get creative.  Do not get a different type of clam, the size matters.  Order them at Intershell for your holiday.

You’ve seen all the pictures I’ve taken of all the great things I like to eat, right?

Let me say it one more time for emphasis-

If you try just one recipe from Felicia’s Videos in your entire lifetime I will suggest this one.  MAKE IT FOR YOUR FAMILY FOR CHRISTMAS AND YOU WILL BE A SUPERSTAR!!!!!!!

Frankly I’m surprised she’s sharing this with the world.  It deserves to be locked up in a high security vault.

From the Gloucester Daily Times-

To Felicia Ciaramitaro Mohan this recipe is very special. Her uncle Charlie began making this recipe for her family many years ago.  It’s become a family tradition. Unfortunately Uncle Charlie passed away and will be sorely missed by everyone this Christmas and so this year this tradition has even more meaning to her family. “I know every family member will think of Uncle Charlie while enjoying every last clam.”

Click here for the recipe and video

We’ve been eating these every Christmas since I can remember and every Christmas it is the first thing we eat.  people that show up late miss out and the rhetoric is always the same-

All the men who know will say to the newcomers-

“You may not want to try these, they taste funny”  It’s a ploy to try to throw them off so there will be more for me.  Of course they catch on by the time we are all pounding down our 10th or 11th baked stuffed topneck.

Lobster Trap Christmas Tree Lighting

Tim

We got all kinds of clergy up in this mother!

Father Green you see what he just did there?

It’s like Pastor Tim just got right up in your grill and spiked a football right at your feet after running back an interception for the game winning touchdown.

What’s next, Reverend Wendy Fitting strapping a GoPro HD video camera to her skull and doing a sky dive off the top of the Universalist Church for the GMG audience?

Whatever kind of religious thing we got going on I’m all for it if we get fantastic community footage like this.

What about the Jews?  We got nothing from The Temple.

Hey Kate Seidman you better get on the phone  with the powers that be at Temple Achim Ahavat because these Protestants and Catholics are kicking your butt all over the place.

and I thought the Jews owned the media.  What do I know?

Foggy Autumn Sunrise Featuring a Ring-necked Pheasant

Foggy Autumn Sunrise ~ November 9, 2011, 6 minutes.

Filmed at Good Harbor Beach on a luxuriously warm November morning. Standing in the sand dunes filming the wildflowers and rising sun I heard a noise behind me, and only several feet away. I turned to see a Ring-necked Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus). This is my first encounter with a Ring-necked Pheasant at Good Harbor Beach, but have subsequently learned they are fairly common. I was amazed to see it foraging so close to the public beach and not closer to the marsh where cover is dense. Introduced to Massachusetts in 1894, this game bird continues to thrive in both rural and metropolitan areas. The footage of dried flower heads is of Seaside Goldenrod (Solidago sempervirens). The opening and final clips show the White’s house, formerly referred to by townspeople as the ‘”Birdcage” because it was wrapped on all four sides with open porches, which have now been enclosed.

Music composed by Antonio Vivaldi: The Four Sesaons Opus 8 Autumn Allegro. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra with Itzhak Perlman Violin.

From wiki: The Four Seasons (Le quattro stagioni) is a set of four violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi. Composed in 1723, The Four Seasons is Vivaldi’s best-known work, and is among the most popular pieces of Baroque music. The texture of each concerto is varied, each resembling its respective season. For example, “Winter” is peppered with silvery pizzicato notes from the high strings, calling to mind icy rain, whereas “Summer” evokes a thunderstorm in its final movement, which is why the movement is often dubbed “Storm.”

The concertos were first published in 1725 as part of a set of twelve concerti, Vivaldi’s Op. 8, entitled Il cimento dell’armonia e dell’inventione (The Contest between Harmony and Invention). The first four concertos were designated Le quattro stagioni, each being named after a season. Each one is in three movements, with a slow movement between two faster ones. At the time of writing The Four Seasons, the modern solo form of the concerto had not yet been defined (typically a solo instrument and accompanying orchestra). Vivaldi’s original arrangement for solo violin with string quartet and basso continuo helped to define the form.
