Cape Ann Vernal Pond team Update

We had a nice exhibit at the Sustainability Fair at the Gloucester High Field House a couple weeks ago.  Lots of cool stuff, solar power, wind power and much more.  Thanks to Colleen Anderson for working at the event and Ashley Gullett for inviting us.

But… I gotta tell you this part:
At one point in the day, I was speaking with one of the visitors to our display, when I realized how tired I was of being on my feet, since it had been several hours by then.  Well, I went to sit down on one of our coolers (we always have coolers at our shows because we transport our animals in them) and I neglected to calculate correctly the trajectory of my hind end so that my center of gravity ended up well behind the cooler.  Soon, very soon, the cooler and I were both upended onto the floor, at which point, my momentum carried me into one of our display panels (seven feet tall and six feet wide, wooden frame, rather heavy) and sent it on a crash course toward one of the young ladies at the exhibit next to us.  At this point, Colleen was kind of screaming “watch out, watch out”.  The exhibit lady turned around just in time to catch the falling panel, with the help of the guy with the clear plastic house model with some sort of heat exchanger in it, who happened to be walking by at the moment.  I was still buns up on the floor, but a catastrophe was averted.  But… do you see what you miss when you don’t show up for these events?

That was probably our last show of 2015.  We are already booking shows for next year.  We have a newsletter to put out.  And we need some more members for our Fundraising Committee.  So please volunteer for one of those activities.  And, we need to add a two or three people to our Board of Directors.  Lots to do in the “off season” so please get in touch and volunteer for us.

Thanks,  Rick

 Remember last February? We do. We committed to get the Hell out of New England this winter – and now we are. We are partnering with our longtime friend and Master Teacher Patty Ivey of Down Dog Yoga in Washington DC to offer a winter getaway to the magical Pacific Coast of Mexico.

We’ve been on this trip before and as we were being shown our room we saw a whale breaching just off the shore! The food is delicious, the sights and culture are incredible, and the new people you will meet are top shelf. Whether you are a yoga teacher, experienced student, brand new beginner, or someone with a spouse who loves yoga, this trip will benefit your health, happiness, and tolerance for January, March, and April.

Between lounging on the beach, surfing, whale watching, Puerto Vallarta, an infinity pool, and nearby attractions there is plenty to entertain…

Set up the pit using the snake method with the charcoal arranges from 9oclock to 3 o’clock.  Place some fruit tree chunks on top of the coals and some cherry chips if you have them.  The idea is to place about ten lit coals at 9PM and let them work their way slowly around the pit to not create too much heat all at once.

Then create a simple bacon weave.

wpid-20151120_111305-01.jpeg

Flatten out some ground pork and place it on top of the bacon weave, add your favorite shredded cheese, some sliced onions, some rice and your favorite BBQ sauce.

Next roll your fatty up and pinch the ends together. Apply rub liberally

Place the fatty opposite side of the coals and close the vents so you get temps around 275.  Apply rub to the pork belly and place that alongside your fatty.

Once it reaches an internal temp of…

Communities like Gloucester that once depended on wild foods, in particular fish, have an especially interesting place in history. The relationship between food production and culture is represented in remarkable and surprising ways in the Cape Ann Museum, and this talk explores those multiple connections.

 

 McGregor is the author of five books on the structure and social history of world cities.  His most recent book, Back to the Garden:  Nature and the Mediterranean World from Prehistory to the Present was published this year by Yale University Press. Also an emeritus professor of Comparative Literature at the University of Georgia, McGregor now lives in Cambridge, MA.  Mcgregor’s new book will be available for purchase in the Museum gift shop. A book signing will follow his lecture.
