Pellet Pooper Meatloaf for the win
Sundays in my house are usually spent doing groceries and meal prepping for the week’s lunches. Yesterday hubs and I decided to get some meat smoking on the grill and so I tried a meatloaf recipe that I’ve been eyeing for a while. I know the boss is a tried and true Weber guy…but we like the “set it and forget it” ease of our Traeger grill which Joey has lovingly referred to as our “pellet pooper”! You can adapt this any way you like, but I would not leave out the sausage…it gives it an amazing flavor!
Recipe:
1 lbs beef, 1 lbs veal, ½ lb uncased Italian sausage
2 rolls broken up and soaked in ½ c buttermilk
½ c diced onion & ½ c bell pepper & 1 clove diced garlic (microwaved 2-3 minutes to soften)
2 tbsp each Worcestershire, mustard, siracha
2 eggs
1 cup favorite bbq sauce (I use Stubby’s for it’s lower sugar content)
1 lb bacon (dice up and fry 2 slices for inside the meatloaf and use the rest for the outside)
Mix everything but the BBQ sauce up in a bowl. Make a weave out of the remaining bacon on a piece of parchment. Put the loaf on the bacon and baste with bbq sauce. Wrap bacon around loaf and cook on rack with pan underneath so grease can escape. Smoked at 225 for 45 minutes, then upped the temp to 325 until internal temp was 140. Basted with BBQ sauce and cooked under internal temp was 160.

Life’s Simple Pleasures
This past weekend was one of those weekends that make me appreciate the little things. We didn’t do anything over-the-top exciting, but we did a lot….and had a blast.
The weekend began with the boys’ baseball parade and season’s opening ceremonies. While I barely made it because I couldn’t quite get out of work on time, they had a great time. Saturday began with a long walk through town with one boy and two dogs. It was so great to see Rockport opening up around us, to feel the sunshine, and to hear the sounds of, dare I say, summer. Later we watched some good buddies play ball, hit Top Dog for an early dinner, went to Rockport High School’s baseball game under the lights, and ended the night at Long Beach Dairy Maid before bringing a little friend home to Gloucester.
Sunday Funday brought Bocce Ball on the boulevard with Grampy (who should be reading this….so, we apologize again that the boys couldn’t get along super well when teamed against each other on the court), lunch outside at Mile Marker One, some science fair homework, a walk on the beach, baseball practice, and then a shift feeding the baby goats up at Appleton Farms (pinch me) thanks to some great friends.
While I don’t necessarily need the reminder…it is always great to get out and about and get in touch with just why we love living on Cape Ann. Good times.

MICHAEL PERRINE CONSTRUCTION DISMANTLING COLLAPSED NORTH ATLANTIC FISH/CHANNEL FISH BUILDING
Mike Perrine and his team are on the job, systematically dismantling the collapsed North Atlantic Fish/Channel Fish building. According to Mike, the use of a barge and crane were considered but just the movement alone of the barge would have guaranteed even further damage to the wharf. Considerable expense is saved by manually removing the building. As Mike’s team is pulling the building down, the debris is being loaded onto a trailer on site.
The work area is fenced off and Mike warns that people not try to sneak on site. This is a very dangerous work zone. The dismantling can easily be viewed from I4-C2 and from the Cape Ann Brew Pub.

The two mastiffs are Mike’s and they are named Beauty and Beast 🙂 I didn’t catch ZacK’s dog’s names. Dog friendlies may recognize Mike and ZacK as they generously installed the waterlines for Gloucester’s dog park.
Booming off the water on Friday evening to insure debris does not contaminate the Harbor.
View from the Cape Ann Brew Pub Friday night.
For more information on the collapse see the Gloucester Times here.

MOTHER ANN
First named Tragabigzanda after a Turkish Princess, Cape Ann was later renamed by King Charles in honor of his mother, Queen Anne. The granite rock formation at the tip of Eastern Point looks to me like the silhouette of a figurehead on a ship’s bow. Historically though, Mother Ann is thought to represent either a reclining Puritan woman or Anne of Denmark, the mother of King Charles.
I have been experimenting with different focal lengths with the new 1.4 teleconverter. The first photo was taken at 400mm with the teleconverter. I am not sure if the fog or the lens is creating the softness but I think it’s going to be lots of fun nonetheless, especially for wildlife.
