Fried Dough
Yes were currently smack dab in the middle of school vacation week, the cupboard shelves are nearly empty, and so are our wallets. With all good snacks gone, are you in search of an inexpensive treat that’s mouthwatering and sinfully delicious? One that can get you through the rest of vacation week without breaking the bank?
How does a recipe serving 6-8 people for under $5.00 sound to you? I have been asked numerous times by GMG FOB’s to share my quick and easy-go-to recipe for Fried Dough. A treat my family is always excited to enjoy no matter what time day, or night! Click see more for recipe details Continue reading “Fried Dough”

Pet of the Week-Zoe
Hello, pleased to meet you. My name is Zoe and I fell on some difficult times as my loving family did not want to part with me but had to because of housing issues. I am an affectionate and mellow girl. I am residing here at the Cape Ann Animal Aid, located at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter, Four Paws Lane, Gloucester. Everyone is treating me just like family and I am comfortable, loved and being well taken care of just like my original family did. I am hoping that I will find a forever home soon as I do love home life. I am eight years old, I love taking walks and receiving hugs.
I love to ride in the car, and if you work from home or are retired or can have a dog join you in the office, that would be perfect. I have also lived with children and adults and get along with all.
I am a loyal girl and hope that you might want to give me a second chance in life and stop by and visit me. If I see that you are coming to adopt me, you will know me as my tail will be wagging 100 times a minute!

Doug Brendel Has Seen the Light!
Joey, I’ve been cheering your rants about people who ask you for info instead of finding it themselves on Google. This morning as I was reading through the blog, I thought I had come to a situation where I really would have to ask for an explanation. Lovasco’s weather synopsis said, “Bombing storm off ACK later today.” As a humble ignoramus from the backwoods, I had no idea what this phrase meant. However, I didn’t want to put you or Lovasco in the position of having to say, “LMGTFY.”
So I went to Google, followed your instructions precisely. I typed in my question: “What does ACK stand for?” Of course there were a few explanations of “gagging sounds,” and one reference to the Anglican Church of Kenya, but as I scrolled down, there it was – before I got to the bottom of the very first screen full of options: a reference to Nantucket Memorial Airport, which is known by the code ACK.
Today I bring this message of hope to all FOBs: See how helpful Google can be to an Ipswich resident unfamiliar with the sophisticated parts of the state? Google can be helpful to you, too!
Love from the far west side of Ipswich,
Doug Brendel

Snapshots from Recent Treks Around Eastern Point
Gloucester Skyline Winter Sunset
In preparation for my adventure to Mexico to film the Monarchs, nearly every afternoon I have been “hiking” around Eastern Point. According to my car odometer, from the Niles Beach parking lot to the lighthouse and back is just a little over two miles. I realize that I must look fairly comical with headphones, hiking boots, and loaded down with a full backpack, all while trying to dodge the black ice. The walk is always beautiful–the freezing temperatures and icy roads not so much!

One Evening in May
The Annisquam Village Library has sent out this notice. Elinor’s last play reading was a true delight. This one may be even better. All GMG readers know Elinor from the wonderful photos she submits regularly to the blog, under Squam Creative. Now you can get to know her as a playwright and director too.
On February 21st, ONE EVENING IN MAY written and directed by local author and resident, Elinor Teele, will be presented in a reading with fellow actors in the Library at 8 o’clock. Annisquam thespian, Beebe Nelson, will be one of the participants.
The plot follows the fortunes of the Greenwood family over the course of one magical May night. Nick, the patriarch, is attempting to keep crows from devouring his rare cultivar. Nora, his wife, is trying to ensure his wearing trousers. Rose, their daughter and an army veteran, is at war with her precocious son, Will, who is at odds with her mustachioed partner, Peter. Lust, lunacy ad a duel or two must ensue before love can conquer all.

Right in step with our boy Joey’s advice/predictions about the state of iPhone in the coming years, here’s a little info. Looks like the iPhone 6, a new phablet, and the next iOS may be out by the summer. I know how this stuff goes, so a grain of salt needs to be applied here. But, if your a Mac/Apple geek (or slave), you may enjoy the latest news. BTW, rumors of having 2K resolution screens this year??? Whaatt???!!! Yes I’m a resolution slut! Enjoy folks!
This links will give you the “scoop” on what may be coming for the iPhone.
