Rose Sheehan & John Hicks Sunday at The Dog Bar
Oh man! Dennis Brennan This Thursday Night 8:30-11:30 Dave Sag’s Blues Party @ The Rhumb Line 6.11.2015
Put on your dancing shoes….cause it’s gonna be one of those nights!
Dave says,
OK, girls: this is it. Thursday’s Rhumbline sees the return of that Euterpian whippersnapper: Mr. Dennis Brennan. Long a favorite around here, Mr. D will have you in endocrinal ecstasy before you can say “Bartender…two more”. He’s a great songwriter as well as vocalist of Delta Force. Gives me shivers. He’s bringing along the commodious Mr. Steve Sadler on catarrh to bring his songs to life. Last time around, the joint was jumpin’. Mr. Forrest “Frosty” Padgett will be beating the war drums, and I’ll be there to perform the Heimlich Maneuver on him, or the bass; whichever comes first.

Cooking Ocean Perch (Redfish To the locals) On The Weber Smokey Joe Charcoal Grill
What’s on the grill at the dock today you ask? 
Set Up Smokey Joe For Grilling With Direct Heat using the Weber RapidFire Chimney To Get The Cowboy Lump Charcoal Heated Up. Fill Chimney 2/3 of the way with lump. Wait til coals on top turn white and dump them out evenly along the bottom of the grill.
Redfish is very similar to red snapper only smaller and less oily, more like a mild flaky white fillet. Gut the Redfish and trim as much of the fins and tails as you would like. I don’t go crazy because we’re basically gonna devour it with our hands here at the dock. Then perform three slices along the body to get seasoning in there just deep enough that you’re almost at the center bone.
Rub the fish down with some olive oil all over. Slice some onions and lemons and stuff the body cavity and then apply your favorite fish rub.
Arrange the fish on the grill and keep the top and bottom vents wide open.
Be very careful on the turns. I used a spatula to make sure the entire fish is separated from the grill before trying to perform the turn. The first turn should be performed about 15-18 minutes after the fish hits the grates. You can tell once the flesh turns white that it’s ready to flip.
After the first turn the other side should take another 15 minutes or so. again when removing from the grill gently make sure the entire fish is separated from the grill so it won’t fall apart when plating.
Delicious!
Time to make soup!

I Have Issues
I am by no means a germophobe, but I have an issue with having anything on my hands….so I wash them all the time. That having been said, I’m pretty tolerant about what I do with my bare hands…as long as I can then run to the sink and wash them immediately upon completion. So, for example, I can change the classroom guinea pig’s cage with my bare hands…and then run to the sink. I can help get a baby chick out of its pretty yucky membrane….and then run to the sink. I used to shovel herring into fishing totes and help dress tuna fish with no problem whatsoever…but, I was constantly running to the hose.
My dirty hand issue, however, has not trickled into my parenting ways. While my boys are typically clean and neat…they’ve probably had more meals than not without washing their hands first. Shudder…I know. When they were babies I passed them around readily to anyone who was interested in holding them without asking, “Did you wash your hands?” first. And, I never use hand sanitizer. What’s more is that I swear that my boys are very rarely sick thanks to the mere fact that they have built up some pretty sweet immune systems by actually getting dirty…and sometimes relishing in those germs. Sound strange? Maybe.
Likewise, I have little issue when the “five second rule” turns into a “10 second rule”…when the food in question has landed somewhere that I trust. However, I have literally lost sleep thinking about the fact that our shoes sometimes have to suffer the reality of walking on FILTHY public bathroom floors….and then walk across our same carpets or floors at home. I will never recover from the day that the boys were walking through some pretty heinous puddles on the floor of an unfortunately miserable public bathroom and then came home and immediately jumped on my bed…flip flops still on. The horror.
So, last night, after doing some errands, I drove home past a pretty popular ice cream joint. Oddly for that hour, there were only two people in line. With the car in front of me turning into the parking lot, my eyes lingered on the pair just long enough to see one of them digging something nasty out of the bottom of his shoe (ok…that may be a bit of an assumption…but, how could anything stuck in the bottom of a shoe be anything BUT nasty?) And, then, just as I was about to look away…he stopped, reached up, and grabbed his newly scooped ice cream cone from the window…with the SAME hand. I can’t even.
I spent the rest of my drive home thinking about where those shoes had been in their lifetime. My issue, not his. Maybe he doesn’t actually eat the cone? That would make me feel better.

Not much better than shrimp on the barbie…
Heat up a half a stick of salted butter in the microwave to liquefy it. Add a half a tablespoon of minced garlic and then toss in your shrimp. Heat up the grill to high heat. Toss the shrimp in the butter/garlic to coat and keep your bowl with the remaining liquid off to the side to baste the shrimp after the first turn on the grill. I don’t mind a little flare up as I like a little char. Turn them often and look for a golden glistening sear mark. After a couple turns and about 5 minutes on the grill they’re done.
Delish.

Stars of the Marsh
Heard at nearly every New England marsh, one can’t help but notice the beautiful and seemingly never ending song of the male Red-winged Blackbird. From sunrise to sunset he’s calling to his girl. Early this spring I set out to record the sounds of the marsh for my Monarch film. The male Red-winged Blackbirds are the stars of the marsh and while capturing their vocalizations, I also was also able to capture footage of their fascinating behaviors.
Male Red-winged Blackbirds Perching on Cattails (and Eating the Seed Heads, Too)
You’ll see many more males because they perch on higher ground, at the top of the cattails, phragmites, scrubby shrubs, phone lines, and treetops. They are defending their territory through song and a showy display of red and yellow wing bars. The males too, often swoop to the edge of the pond’s shoreline and peck at the sand.
Plain Jane Female ~ What’s All the Fuss About!
The female Red-winged Blackbird, with her more subdued feathers of brown and beige, typically stays closer to the ground, building her nest and eating insects.
Female Red-winged Blackbird in the foreground with male in the background. As you can see in the photo, the female looks like a large dark sparrow.
