What a mess!
Barrels outside Marshall’s, Gloucester Crossing
One store employee said everything outside is Market Basket’s responsibility. Not sure why they’re not emptied or why people keep adding. It reeks back here. (Barrels by pizza shop were empty.) It is their front door entrance.

Here’s my pick for best home coffee brewing setup…
Check out my one handed video demo of the Bonavita Wide Base Porcelain Immersion Dripper and Hot Water Kettle. Link to purchase the Dripper here and Kettle here on Amazon
There are so many reasons why I love this setup so much.
Number one is I like the way my coffee tastes. no plastic parts the immersion dripper is made of ceramic so you don’t get that nasty plastic aftertaste from more expensive “fancy coffee makers with a million parts and plastic reservoirs.
Number two the cleanup couldn’t be any easier. You just dump out the filter and give it a rinse. If you’ve had another type of coffee maker that needs to have it’s filters cleaned out you know what a pain in the ass that is.
Number three it’s super inexpensive to brew a good cup of coffee.
Number four the dripper and water kettle are both small enough to put away in the cabinet so it doesn’t have to sit one the counter (I hate stuff on the counters).
Number 5 it’s cheap and well built.

Watching the Bird Watchers
The Great Winter Birdwatcher Migration has begun once again . These birdwatchers were observed in a peaceful social group enjoying the sun on the back shore. Me e-birdwatcher report includes a nice Back Shore Towhee along with a Blue Crowned Thrush. The thrill of the day though, was spotting the male Red Breasted Puffleg! See him there on the end? Keep your eyes open and you might spot one too!

Tony Gross Comes Through Again With His Famous Swedish Coffee Bread
Posted on December 24, 2010 by Joey C
Every year Tony makes Frank and I a loaf of his much sought after Swedish coffee bread. I’m afraid to open it because once you eat the first bite I can’t stop til that whole sucker is gone. (I’m not sure if he puts heroin in it, the stuff is so damn addicting).

Tony Gross’ Swedish Coffee Bread
Posted on December 21, 2009 by Joey C
Every Christmastime Tony Gross, the skipper of the lobsterboat F/V Sandollar makes a ridiculous number of Swedish Coffee Bread loaves and gives them out to friends. I made the mistake and called it Nisu but because the recipe comes from an elder in Tony’s family he insists it be called Swedish Coffee Bread.
It’s delicious and best eaten within a day of cooking. I sure am glad I’m on the list of those who get one every year!
