It wouldn’t be Christmas without CUCCIDATTI!
The second weekend, every December we make the Cuccidatti (fig cookies). We would watch my Grandmother Beatrice (Sinagra) Frontiero make them with no real measuring but they would always come out the same…delicious! These cookies are and will always be a flavor and smell that I’ve associated with Christmas time at Grandma’s house. My Mom and I still do it the same way as my Grandma used to, using hand ground fig, citrus, walnuts and honey and now my daughters are part of the tradition. We could change the recipe, we could use store bought fig, change the shape, or add choc chips like some families do, but it just wouldn’t be our family cookie recipe if we did. Every family has their own cookie that brings them back to everything they remember as a child and this is it for me! So almost 600 cookies later…they are done!

Pet of the week-Luna
Super Senior Luna here and my super power is “Gaze of Grace.” I am a sweet lady and I enjoy gentle pets under the chin and curling up next to you for a nice long cat nap. I have a gentle soul and I can’t wait to find a home to live the rest of my days out. I am a bit shy and can take some time to get used to new places and people. So I am looking for a home with more of an adult slant (children in their teens) who understand I will need space to settle in. I am considered a special needs adoption because when I arrived here they did some bloodwork and a few of my levels were off. They spoke to the vet and he said I am just fine to be adopted out but my new family will need to follow up with their vet to re-check my bloodwork. I also had to have all my teeth extracted due to gingivitis, it has not changed my eating habits and I am much more comfortable. The folks here tell me there is no further treatment necessary for the gingivitis but they wanted my new family to be aware. Do you have the space in your home and heart for a senior lady like me? Then stop by and visit today! To see all available animals at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter please go to our website: capeannanimalaid.org

Serious Question- Do people think I’ve lost my mind rescuing and restoring these classic @WeberGrills?
Friday I drove two hours to Bristol RI to rescue this 1978 Classic Metal Bowl Handle Redhead Weber Kettle. It belonged to a guy’s parents who had it in their garagefor years. Look at the dust. She is going to clean up beautifully. Rare red, especially in this kind of shape 38 years old.
Found this Blue Stainless Steel Blue EI Code ’97 Weber Performer. There are a lot of aficionados that say that the Stainless steel Table Performers with their sturdy black frames are the most timeless of the four generations of Performers. They haven’t made a stainless steel version of the Performers since so they are highly sought after. i’ll clean this baby up an dit will blow your socks off. Timeless beauty, timeless functionality.
So what say you? Am I crazy for enjoying this hobby? Vote in the poll and leave your comments on this post.
