Thank you.

 

 

Will someone from Wildlife please allocate some goddamned money to study the Coyotes?

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Listen I don’t care if you’re one of these Coyote sympathizers who would rather see a human eaten than a coyote put down or if you are a Coyote hater who thinks that we can eradicate and remove them one by one and relocate them. -I consider both factions equally crazy on the crazy meter.

But the fact of the matter is that there’s bananaland amounts of money being spent on counting fish.  I’m pretty sure we have more people counting how many fish that are being landed than we actually have fishermen fishing for fish.

So how about we carve out just a smidgen of money to track the explosion in the past 8 years of coyotes living among us.  We had the coyote that had to be shot down at East Gloucester Elementary School and now this attack on Eastern Point.  Every single year there are more and more of them around us.

I’m not saying that we gotta round em up and kill em or relocate them, but I wouldn’t mind some benchmarks or some studying.

Oh, here it is, The National Marine Fisheries Service 2016 Proposed budget- A Mere $990,121,000.00

Isn’t it about time we get some money together to study the coyotes and figure out what the heck is going on?

A GoPro Tour of Rockport

Posted on by Nichole S.

After riding our bikes through town on Monday the boys decided that it’d be fun to sport the GoPro and video the same route for some of our friends who are missing home. So, we hopped in the Jeep and the boys took turns strapping on the GoPro.  Clearly not the best footage ever, but if you love living in Rockport, if you are missing Rockport, if you hope to visit Rockport, or if you want friends to come visit you in Rockport….this little child’s eye tour might be the medicine the doctor ordered.

From our driveway on Smith Road, past Old Garden Beach, down Atlantic Avenue, onto T Wharf, through town, down Bearskin Neck, past the new and improved breakwater, back down the Neck, up Main Street, by Front Beach, and landing at Back Beach we present “Rockport: Our Little Town.”

Pork Loin On the Grill

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

At the supermarket picking up some stuff for last night’s dinner and figure I’d pick up some pork for smoking today at the dock so I could treat the boys to some pulled pork sandwiches.
Saw the small 2 lb pork loin and didn’t think it all teh way through on how lean a pork loin is and devoid of all that good fat for smoking.
So the plan has changed up and after reading a bunch on the BBQ forum the new plan of attack is to cook it on the kettle between between 325-350 indirect heat and pull it off when it reaches 140 internal.
I trimmed the thick part of the fat off the top and left about half of the fat on.  Then made some criss-cross incisions on the top.
Next applied the Paul Prudhomme’s Blackened redfish magic rub.

2015-10-11 06.52.002015-10-11 06.52.072015-10-11 06.52.23x2015-10-11 06.55.53

It was busy down the dock and I dumped a full chimney of coals on one side of the kettle, it got going and ended up needing to be have the vents choked down completely for a good twenty minutes to get the heat to settle down under 350.

Also we had a run of lobster boats land in sequence so I couldn’t monitor the internal temps as i would have liked to.  By the time I put the lobsters crated up and into the tanks the internal temp on the pork had gone to 160.  I figured it was just a total disaster as the original plan was to pull it off around 130 internal.

As it turns out I let it rest for about a half hour and we sliced it up for some sandwiches.  used some nice potato rolls and tried out Trader Joe’s Carolina Gold BBQ sauce.

It was actually quite tasty and not dry at all.
So it wasn’t my proudest moment at the kettle, but in the end the boys all enjoyed it.

Gloucester Stage Celebrates Playwright Arthur Miller’s Centennial

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

 

ARTHUR_MILLER_01_copiePlaywright Arthur Miller Arthur

Gloucester Stage proudly presents The Arthur Miller Centennial, a celebration of playwright Arthur Miller and his work in honor of his 100th birthday, on Saturday, October 17 at 7:30pm at Gloucester Stage, 267 East Main Street, Gloucester, MA. The audience is invited to enjoy birthday cake during a post-show reception with the cast and crew. Conceived by directing apprentice Allison Benko and stage management/production apprentice Jenna Worden, The Arthur Miller Centennialis a multimedia performance featuring recorded interviews with Miller himself as well as scenes from some of his best-known works including The Crucible, Death of a Salesmen, and After the Fall. Benko describes this special evening, “Arthur Miller is often called a quintessentially American playwright, and that might be true. But that’s a dangerously broad blanket statement — and what exactly does it mean? I think this production will be a way of asking that question. It’s a way of asking what Arthur Miller means to us, today, one hundred years after his birth.” The cast features local Boston performers including Kate Paulson and Sheridan Thomas, a professor at Tufts University.

MUSIC & MEDITATION IN THE MEETINGHOUSE with Elizabeth McLindon & Brian King

Posted on by Vickie & Peter

MUSIC & MEDITATION IN THE MEETINGHOUSE (MMM) featuring meditation leader Elizabeth McLindon and singer-songwriter Brian King, October 25, 2015 at the Gloucester UU Meetinghouse

BASICS:
Meditation and Music combined in a candle-lit setting October 25, 2015 at 7:30pm in Gloucester’s Meetinghouse, home of the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church Corner of Middle and Church Streets, on the green

Free-Will Offering, Fully Accessible, and Everyone is Welcome
Social Gathering Afterwards with Light Refreshments
Church Contact: Karen Rembert, info@gloucesteruu.org , (978-283-3410)

EVENT DESCRIPTION:

The Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church is pleased to announce the next event of its monthly series called Music & Meditation in the Meetinghouse (MMM) that offers Cape Ann residents and visitors a unique combination of beautiful music and relaxing meditation.  Each MMM event offers the participants an opportunity to enjoy a different combination of peaceful self-awareness through various kinds of meditation enhanced by the musical offerings.

The October event features meditation leader Elizabeth McLindon singer, Brian King.  There will be a collation with light refreshments afterwards in the Entrance House, giving participants the opportunity to meet the leaders and each other in a convivial atmosphere.

The MMM experience is intended to be comforting, entertaining and spiritual but it is emphatically not a church service.  It is held in the candle-lit sanctuary of the grand Meetinghouse, a place of gathering and welcoming for the entire Gloucester community for over 200 years.   The Meetinghouse, whose lantern tower with a Paul Revere bell has guided generations of mariners safely into our harbor, is on the National Register of Historic Places.  It is the oldest and largest surviving building of its type on Cape Ann.

The Sanctuary is accessible with facilities for persons with disabilities via the side entrance at 10 Church Street.   A free-will offering of $10 is requested but no one will be turned away and everyone is welcome regardless of financial capability.  Find your way Sunday evening to the green at the corner of Middle and Church Streets to discover an hour of peace, enjoyment and contemplation in Gloucester’s historic 1806 Meetinghouse.

Pasta with Peas & Hot Ham

image

Last night’s @sistafelicia Instagram Photo

This past holiday weekend was spent embracing opportunities to experience “Real Campus Life” while touring colleges with our twins. After three days of living off fast food, Starbucks Coffee, and a few campus dining hall delights, a “real meal” was much need when we arrived home late last night. The last half hour of our road trip back home felt like ten as we discussed what meal I could pull together the fastest with ingredients I knew I had on hand at home. After rattling off several options to please everyone’s starving bellies and picky pallets, “Pasta with Peas & Hot Ham” was unanimously requested, made and on the table before the boys finished emptying bags and luggage from the truck!

 Pasta with Peas & Hot Ham is fast and easy to prepare and only requires a few key ingredients. This pasta dish is traditionally served for lunch or dinner as main course or side dish, but I think it makes a perfect late night meal for the fall and winter months.  Trust me you’ll have no trouble warming up or sleeping after eating a bowl of this heavenly creamy pasta dish late night! It’s one of our families most favorite “Italian Comfort Food” dishes!
