Cucumber & Vidalia Onion Salad

Our friends Craig and Hannah Kimberley hosted a 4th of July southern style BBQ.  The Kimberley’s both have roots in the south, that often shine through in their style of cooking. Hannah, AKA “Miss Hannah” always finds a way to incorporate yields from her garden with her roots from the south in delicious side dishes perfectly paired with husband Craig’s Killer Southern Style BBQ.  Craig Kimberley, may be publically know as a master behind the camera, with cutting edge video masterpieces, shown on the OutDoor Channel and here on GMG, but truth is that he is a master behind the camera and the grill! Last week Miss Hannah treated guests with this tasty southern summer Cucumber & Vidalia Onion Salad, while husband Craig spoiled guests with tender cuts of grilled beef and some of the best smoked ribs I have ever tasted!

DDNE2Good Afternoon Joey,

I was wondering how or if I could get some publicity for my business.  I currently own a bed bug sniffing dog and have been for about 4 years.  I recently purchased the dog and am trying to get the word out of my services to cape ann.  If it’s possible please let me know.  I do have a few pictures and my logo’s that I can send to you.

The first picture is “sport” locating bed bug training aids (live bugs in a vial) during a recent inspection in Boston.

The other ones are my logo’s

my facebook page is

Any questions comments concerns let me know!
Thanks a bunch!

There have been a couple of changes on the schedule.  Daisy Nell & Capt. Stan got caught off guard by the hurricane and won’t be able to make it back to home port in time, so look for Ernie Pigeon at the Goetemann Gallery.  Clara Kebabian has a new job that won’t allow her to get up to Gloucester in time to play at Rocky Neck Gallery, so look for Pat Conlon and Fran Clark who play acoustic guitar, mandolin, harmonica and vocals bluegrass,blues and a mix of things.  They are a frequent act with Dan King at the Rhumbline and Mike Marker 1.

You may notice some bare spots in the garden, which will soon be filled! Hose spigots were just installed this week at the gardens and we now have an improved way to water!!!!! Up to this point, for the past several years, Lenny Linquata has graciously allowed the city to hook up hoses and fill watering cans at his restaurant spigot.

What the Fluke

Posted on by Nichole S.

I will swim with a humpback whale some day.

It’s at the top of my bucket list for sure.

I actually planned a vacation to Costa Rica several years ago for the opportunity to swim with the whales in Drake Bay, but sadly, no whales were in the area during my stay.

I have, however, had the opportunity to swim with wild dolphins, sea turtles, sea lions, rays, black tip reef sharks, and manatees.  Each of those experiences are kind of sacred to me.  All are moments that I will never forget.

While swimming with wild marine life may not be everyone’s cup of tea, if you haven’t been on at least one amazing whale watch, you are missing out.  We are incredibly fortunate to have whales not far off our coast for a good part of the year.  I, all kidding aside, sometimes find myself laying awake at night thinking, “I wonder what the whales are doing right now?” Freak meter rating high, I realize, but true nonetheless.

So, today, knowing that the whales have been plentiful for the past several days, we went for a trip with Cape Ann Whale Watch.  How do I know they’ve been plentiful you may ask?  I follow their blog.

I had the opportunity to speak with both long time owners, Nick Danikas and Jim Douglass, in the parking lot prior to the trip.  Both are great guys who are pretty passionate about offering trips that leave guests with memories to last a lifetime.

Likewise, the crew and the naturalists are phenomenal and beyond highly educated on the matter of whales and sea life indigenous to our waters. Their enthusiasm was contagious.  Even the captain, John Karvelas, was excitedly pointing out bubble clouds as they formed on the surface of the water.  Bubble clouds are a method that whales use to trap krill and sand eels in a tight school so that they can emerge, mouths open, and swallow up a giant meal.

Today’s trip was nothing short of amazing.  To begin, we only had to head 11 miles off the Dog Bar Breakwater, which was a treat in itself.  After a short steam, we were literally surrounded by humpback whales.  I’ve been on many whale watches.  Both on local whale watching boats and on smaller private boats. Today’s trip was one for the record books.
