Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

I pretty much followed the recipe from serious eats Except I added some oregano and garlic powder to the mix.  Also I think the recipe can be improved if you partially cook the bacon before hand and buddy Craig Kimberley suggested using a pork/beef mix instead of straight ground chuck.

These were awesome and I’d do them all over again the same way with either of teh ingredients if that’s all I had on hand.

Mix one lb and a half of  80/20 ground beef, two lightly beaten eggs and 3/4 cups seasoned panko bread crumbs and added oregano and garlic powder.

Roll into 1 inch balls and wrap with a half a strip of bacon securing the bacon with a tooth pick.  next dust with your favorite BBQ Rub.  I used Famous Daves BBQ Rub.

Next set up the PK 360 for high heat indirect cooking.  A full chimney…

This Is What Certain Boston Sports Radio Show Hosts Don’t Get In Regards To The Tom Brady Hanging Up Situation

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

On what planet do these out of touch radio show hosts think that the greatest quarterback of all time should call in to their shows after they mock him mercilessly all week long?  What is this bananaland?

Tom Brady Hung Up On sports radio host after expressing his displeasure with his daughter being called a “pissant”.

Listening to Mike Felger defend the comment by saying they get paid to push the envelope says it all.

Radio hosts like Felger and Mazz and Alex Reimer can speak disrespectfully about Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.

Tom Brady doesn’t have to give them the time of day.

Do you think Tom Brady needs the money that badly that he should have to call in and talk to these douchebags that conjure up conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory like Tom forced Jimmy Garopolo out and that Brady, Belichick and Kraft all hate each other? I’m guessing Tom has plenty of dough.

So if these guys want to antagonize and drive wedges and fabricate conspiracy theories and repeat them over and over until they convince themselves that they bullshit they are selling is fact then screw them.

I hope Brady never speaks to them again. I hope he speaks to their competitors.

Felger- Defending Alex Reimer-

I hope Brady and the Patriots win the Superbowl and he retires the next day.

I hope Belichick gets back to an AFC Championship game without Brady within four years and makes the playoffs next year without him.

It’s the Douchebag Boston Sports Radio Hosts Perogative To Fabricate And Drum Up Controversy. But Then To Act Incredulous When Boston Athletes, Coaches Or Owners Tell Them They’re Not Interested In Speaking With Them Shows Just How Out Of Touch And Pompous Certain Boston Sports Media Have Become.

Tom Brady Hung Up ON Boston Sports Radio Douchebags FINALLY! Thanks @jerrythornton1 For The Story and A Poll.

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Joey Ciaramitaro's avatarThe Homie Cast

I’ve been absolutely stumped why Tom Brady even gives any of these complete douchebags the time of day by calling in to their shows. He definitely doesn’t need the money.  Being obsessed with sports I try to listen to local sports radio when I’m driving and inevitably get so frustrated by the way they talk about Tom Brady and Bill Belichick every single time i turn it off within 5 minutes.   I’m dying for decent sports discussion and I literally have no option on the AM or FM dial in my car.   They’re completely classless.  Drum up the most absurd sky is falling ridiculous scenarios and repeat them over and over until they talk each other into believing their crazy hypothesis. There hasn’t been an athlete that has carried himself with more class at the top of their game than Tom Brady.  We’ve been blessed to have him and Belichick…

CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF THE COYOTE KIND -BY KIM SMITH

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

East Gloucester Friends,

Please be on alert for a pair of very bold coyotes in the neighborhood. Over the weekend I was standing with a group of photographer friends and we were noticing the coyotes along the edge of a field. The coyotes ducked behind the shrubby growth and soon after, my friends left. I became distracted and forgot about the coyotes while photographing a chatty little Downy Woodpecker. Without warning, the coyotes were suddenly quite near, within twenty feet. I yelled and clapped loudly, which did not in the least intimidate one of the pair. The smaller trotted a few steps back toward the woodland edge while the larger one started to dig in the ground, similar to a bull marking his territory. It was more than a little eerie, and while yelling I began to walk backwards off the field.

When a gentleman came to the field to walk his dog, the coyotes headed back towards the shrubs. Reappearing a few minutes later, they had circled around in the shrubs and began to stalk the leashed dog. I walked towards the man to give the coyotes the idea that we were a group and they didn’t come any closer after that. This post is not meant to alarm anyone, but to let you know that we have some very hungry coyotes in our midst; I had the oddest sensation that they had an expectation of dinner. I sure do hope no one is feeding them.

The bolder coyote is on the left in the above photo. You can see in the middle photo in the first row that the bolder one’s coat is darker (also on the left).
