While “Comere” Bridget Mathews and I mixed this year batches, the ladies help strain the rids from the alachol, and prepared the bottles.
The men snacked on freshly fried Arancini and Hot Italian Bread with fresh Ricotta Cheese, Pesto and Red Roasted Peppers, while they anxiously waited to sample all 4 varieties. Each year 2 straight up versions of Limonciello & Aranciello, and 2 creamy versions of both lemon and orange are prepared and bottled.
Neil Mathews, our official taste tester, sampled each, while bridget and I mixed and tweaked the ratios until Neil deemed it to be “Perfecto!”Several rounds of samples were enjoyed by all!

Her passion may be running yet contemporary artist and sculptor Bobbi Gibb has never run from anything in her life. In fact, her existence is a series of running toward, well, everything, as fast as humanly possible. She began running at age four “and never stopped.” Running wild through the woods as a child to explore nature; running to help spark the women’s movement in 1966 by crashing the Boston Marathon disguised as a man and finishing it (“unofficially” winning it three times before women were permitted to race); running toward a career in medicine and neuroscience research; running to paint, sculpt and study the human body and its limitless capabilities; and running toward a law degree to provide for her son. Bobbi Gibb never ceases running forward and that, one can argue, is how Gibb pursues her art. Hers is a life spent in pursuit of itself, its fullest potential. For Gibb, this drive has manifested itself in an extraordinary academic career in law and medicine; in sculpture, paintings and books; and in that brazen, historic 1966 Boston Marathon run which celebrates its 50th anniversary this spring. All elements of Gibb’s existence deliver the same message: Do. Reach. Live.

Last year, 5,000 samples were served from 62 gallons of Fishermen’s Wive’s redfish soup. Unbelievably, this year’s batch of soup looks like an even greater amount. A tremendous effort on behalf of our community has been extended by Angela Sanfilippo, Sal Di Stefano, Cara Ring, Mark Ring, Natalie Ring, Tom Ring, Mariella Cannavo, Margherida Bellicia, Todd Snopkowski from Snap Chef, Misslewood Executive Chef Sean McCarthy, Jason Hakes, Abde Lhamid Yacine, Ethan Piper, Madi Woods, Patrick Finocchiaro, and everyone involved in the food preparations. Three cheers and a thundering shout out to Mayor Sefatia Romeo Thekan for her vision in bringing Gloucester for the second year in a row to the Seafood Expo North America, and a huge thank you to everyone working so hard to make SENA16 a great success.

Preparations are well underway for tomorrow’s big opening day of the Seafood Expo North America, with fantastic teamwork from Angela Sanfilippo, Sal Di Stefano, Cara Ring, Mark Ring, Natalie Ring, Tom Ring, Mariella Cannavo, Margherida Bellicia, Todd Snopkowski from Snap Chef, Misslewood Executive Chef Sean McCarthy, Jason Hakes, Abde Lhamid Yacine, Ethan Piper, Madi Woods, and Patrick Finocchiaro.
Last year, Gloucester’s booth was quite possibly the most popular in the show as guests enjoyed samples of the fresh homemade Fishermen’s Wives redfish soup prepared and served by Mayor Sefatia, Angela Sanfilippo, and their amazing team. Mark Ring explains the fish is ocean perch, or redfish, which is a deep water species, caught at hundreds of fathoms beneath the sea.

“We had two really cool Snakes of New England and the World presentations for The Westborough Community Land Trust last Saturday. Great crowd over 300 people. Fabulous job by our volunteers: Ian, Dawn, Becca, John and Colleen. Snakes were well-behaved except for the African house snake which pooped on Becca.
We will have some fundraising activities this year, so get in touch and let me know you’d like to join the Fundraising Committee. We will have a yard sale on Saturday May28th. And Charlie Farren will be performing a benefit show for us of his acoustic music. We’re still working out the details for that show, but its going to be fantastic.
Big Giant Cape Ann Vernal Pond Team Annual Meeting- Wednesday March 9, 2016 6:30pm at The Get Outside Center, 186 Main St., Gloucester. The public is invited. This means you, especially if you’re hoping to volunteer or join a committee or something, but you don’t have to. Please let us know if you plan to attend so we will can get the right amount of snacks. Very important.
And… do you know of any vernal pools out there that need to be certified? Or, even if you suspect its a vernal pool, but aren’t really sure. Please let us know about it. And let us know if you know who owns the property.
See you on Wednesday, Rick
we only have one earth, save it”
Editor’s Note ~ Looking towards spring and the welcome sound of the Pinkletinks (spring peepers)!
While my boys could simply live on their shaved ice, I’m pretty excited that Rockport’s Hula Moon is now open for breakfast. The breakfast and the view are great…the owners couldn’t be nicer! Go pay them a visit.
