David Roth with Connor Garvey at Old Sloop Coffeehouse – 10/10/15
David Roth strikes many chords, hearts, and minds with his unique songs, offbeat observations, moving stories, sense of the hilarious, and powerful singing and subject matter. As singer, songwriter, recording artist, keynote speaker, workshop leader, and instructor, David has earned top honors at premier songwriter competitions – Kerrville (TX) and Falcon Ridge (NY) – and taken his music, experience, and expertise to a wide variety of venues in this and other countries full-time for more than two decades.
Connor Garvey is an award-winning singer-songwriter from Portland, Maine, with the amiable presence of an entertainer, the lyrical depth of a poet, and the enchantment of a storyteller.
Garvey leaves audiences uplifted and inspired through a positive message delivered in a way The Portland Press Herald says proves you can be optimistic and self-aware without being boring. His unique sandy tenor and masterful blend of rhythm and melody draw comparison to Paul Simon and contemporaries Josh Ritter and Jason Mraz. He wins song competitions. He fills rooms. But most of all he moves people.

Caramel Apple Crisp Is On The Dessert Menu Tonight!
You will never look at Apple Crisp quite the same way after trying this recipe…It’s scrumptious!
Caramel Apple Crisp
A few years ago I created and posted this recipe…It’s become a fall favorite in our home…If you love caramel apples, and apple crisp, this is a must try recipe! I can’t wait to serve it for dessert tonight with a scoop of Vanilla Bean Gelato using apples from our dear friends Jeremy and Tanya Frost’s fruitful back yard Apple Tree! I have never seen a tree bearing 2 different verities of apples growing from a single tree trunk! Both the red Gala and yellow Golden Delicious tasted delicious! Jeremy held the ladder for me while I hand picked and filled 2 large bags last Saturday! The Frost’s apple tree was a magnificent sight in their yeard this year! Jeremy reported that this years harvest is the best in the past several years, and that this was the first year it beared two types of apples. Thank you for sharing your special tree with me, I’m having a great time in the kitchen whipping up our fall favorite confections and have also created a few new recipes that have been big hits!

Seaside Garden Club
The Seaside Garden Club is excited to have the dynamic group that transformed the Grant Circle in Gloucester tell their story on October 13th at the Manchester Community Center. Social time begins at 7:00 and the program begins promptly at 7:30. Light refreshments will be served.
The Plant Grant Circle team consists of representatives from the Cape Ann Garden Club, the Gloucester Garden Club and the Rockport Garden Club (Lida Bernard, Stevie Neal, Laura Kraul, Dorene McManus and Leslee Shlopak). They will present a slide show of the transformation of the center circle on the Grant Rotary from a weed infested eye sore to a beautiful gateway to Cape Ann. Included in the talk will be the history of Grant Circle, the many obstacles the group overcame from the success of the project and a description of the landscape design. It is a story about a great vision, collaboration and dogged determination. Plant Grant is a campaign designed by the Gardeners of Cape Ann to refurbish and beautify the “gateway” to Gloucester and Rockport, Grant Circle. Last spring the Garden Clubs of Cape Ann (a collaboration of Cape Ann, Gloucester and Rockport Garden Clubs) submitted a proposal and were awarded the permit from the state to maintain and refurbish Grant Circle. Collectively they cleaned up the gardens last summer while designing new gardens as a welcoming entrance to our area for residents and visitors. The project plan builds on the site’s naturalistic foundation by adding masses of plantings in linear beds scaled appropriately to the size of the circle. Combinations of perennials and flowering shrubs provide seasonal color and variety, while new tree plantings add vertically and complement the existing mature trees on site. Join us for to hear this interesting story about a great vision, collaboration and dogged determination.
The Seaside GardenClub has some great programs on tap for this season! Organic Lawn Care, Life Story of the Black Swallowtail Butterfly, a film by Kim Smith, Pressed Flower Card Workshop and The Art of Ikebana are just some of the exciting programs we have arranged for our club members. We meet the 2nd Tuesday of the Month (September through June) and are always looking for new members. Make sure to sign up for your 2015/2016 Seaside Garden Club Membership – still on $25 for the entire season! Invite your friends and neighbors, all are welcome. Guests $5.

Panko Encrusted Armadillo Eggs- Hells Yeah!
This is what they looked like before they hit the grill-
I substituted Jalapeno peppers for the hatch chiles and instead of trying to measure out the long list of spices I just scooped out a tub of jalapeno flavored cream cheese, dumped in a couple of handfuls of shredded cheddar and mixed in the rub that I had on my desk for the stuffing. Way easier IMO.
The cooking instructions from the recipe were spot on, so follow those and you’ve got a simple killer game day appetizer. If this stiff can prepare them on his desk at the dock, you should be able to pull this off with ease.

GOOD HARBOR BEACH SUNRISE PANORAMAS AND SURFERS
After attempting to photograph the Moon, Venus, and Jupiter in the night sky Wednesday morning, the colors were so spectacular I couldn’t help but stay to photograph the rising sun. The beach was soon alive with surfers, paddle boarders, photographers, and dog walkers, in that order. The three panoramas were taken at about ten minute intervals. Click on the image or drag panoramas to your desktop to embiggen.
Thinking I would just take a few shots of the night sky, I had run out the door wearing only a light sweater. Staying longer than anticipated I came home shivering. Bundle up if out for an early walk on these gorgeous, albeit chilly, October mornings.
Few more snapshots here. Continue reading “GOOD HARBOR BEACH SUNRISE PANORAMAS AND SURFERS”
