Beautiful morning to capture the sunrise and I thought I’d add this one seeing the sky through the woods.

There’s A Reason Harbor Cove Dental Was Voted #1 After Only One Year Open In Gloucester

It speaks volumes to be voted number 1 after only one year.  I mean, there are dentist practices that have been open for decades so to claim this honor you know you have to be doing something right.DSC01842

And when I tell you that these very words came out of both my daughters’ mouths “I can’t wait to go to the dentist.” 

I took a double take.  Say what?  A child that WANTS to go to the dentist?  What is this, bizzarro world where up is down and left is right?  

The staff is so unbelievably friendly. The equipment all brand new.  The chairs you sit in are heated AND offer massage elements.  The place is out of control over the top inviting and comfortable. 

Are you sold yet?  Well if not, how bout Free Teeth Whitening FOR LIFE? 

Uhmm, yeah, Dr Leif just posted that on the GMG Community Google+ group

Gloucester’s Feast of Saint Joseph Film Project Website Launch

Feast of Saint Joseph header for website ©Kim Smith 2014

You may recall that last year on Saint Joseph’s Day, as well as during the nine day novena leading up to the Feast, we began filming the community-wide project, Gloucester’s Feast of Saint Joseph.  My original hope was to have completed the doucmentary and release it to the community on Saint Joseph’s Day 2014. There are, however, several very important elements missing, and they can only be filmed during the days leading up to Saint Joseph’s Day. In lieu of presenting the finished film on St. Joseph’s Day, March 19th, 2014, we will instead be releasing a short 5-minute film trailer. Stay tuned for more details!

My most heartfelt thanks goes to all the families who have so far contributed to make this a very special film. If you would like to participate in creating Gloucester’s Feast of Saint Joseph ~ A Community Film Project, please contact the director, Kim Smith, at kimsmithdesigns@hotmail.com. Much more is to come, with many wonderful surprises. Stay tuned for updates as filmmaking takes place during the Feast of San Giuseppe, 2014!

While editing over the past few months, I created Gloucester’s Feast of Saint Joseph  website to keep our community informed and updated about the film’s progress.

Spicy Italian Sausage Pepper and Onion Bow Tie Pasta

Spicy Italian Sausage Pepper & Onion Bow Tie Pasta

I created this recipe one night while in the middle of making a batch of my homemade sausage. With a kitchen full of hungry family waiting to be fed, and 2 giant bowls of fixed sausage meat waiting to be stuffed into soaking casings, I decided to halt sausage production and feed the family. Using what I had on hand, I threw together this delicious pasta dish in less than 30 minutes and resumed production.  Although I may have used my own homemade sausage meat to create this recipe, it can easily be duplicated by using any “Sweet Italian” sausage meat. For those living close to Gloucester, I highly recommend buying Trupiano’s Italian Sausage sold at The Cave on Main Street. The Cave regularly carries Sweet Italian “Trupiano’s Italian Sausage”,  and Trupiano’s “Tomato Parsley & Cheese” variety can be specially pre-ordered by calling a few days in advanceClick see more for Joey approved recipe!
