National Hot Mulled Cider Day

Today is National Hot Mulled Cider Day! Hot mulled cider is a delicious drink perfectly suited for crisp September afternoons. Apple cider is produced using a cider press and is a time-honored favorite of the autumn season.

To make mulled cider, slowly add brown sugar to apple cider in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until all the sugar has dissolved. Add other ingredients such as nutmeg, allspice, orange juice, and lemon juice, and bring to a boil. Strain out the spices, pour into a mug, and add a cinnamon stick.

Enjoy National Hot Mulled Cider Day as you sip on your homemade brew!

Thanks so much GMG for all you do for Cape Ann and for helping us keep our community and it’s FOB’s healthy by sharing our offerings this week!

Beginning on October 23rd I will be hosting a donation based silent prayer and meditation hour on Tuesdays from 1:30 to 2:30 pm in our beautiful yoga studio (photo attached).  With eco-friendly cork floors and radiant floor heating, it it is the perfect spot to retreat for meditation and reflection as we enter the darker and colder months.  This is also where the Cape Ann Red Tent Temple for women is hosted monthly.  It is our local chapter of an international women’s movement honoring the collective journey of womanhood.  More information about Red Tent Temple can be found here.

Mark Goetemann Looking for a Rig and Sail For a 50’s Montgomery Fish Boat

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hi Joey,
I just picked up a 1950’s Mongomery Fish Boat that I’m going to restore and keep on Rocky Neck but  I need a rig and sail for it. 
Besides Dave Mongomery and the boat yard, do you have any ideas on how I could find one?  Could you broadcast the request some way?
Thanks very much,
Mark

So Joey, does this guy meet your criteria for safe bike riding in Gloucester?

See this post if you’re wondering about my reference in the video to the woman from PeopleforBikes.org.

Gran Prix of Gloucester Video from Day 1 – Look out Joey, lots of bikes around town

Posted on by Vickie & Peter

If you missed today’s psycho-cross excitement, this video will give you a feel for what you can expect tomorrow.  You really can’t miss this international sporting spectacle, complete with beer, food and plenty of fun for kids.  So bring the family up to Stage Fort Park tomorrow.  You’ll be glad you did.

Joey, you might want to listen to what Christy from PeopleforBikes.org has to say about putting more people on more bicycles more often — especially in Gloucester!

I ran into Thom Falzarano who shot more race footage.  Look for that coming soon.

After a day of cyclocross you may want to warm up a bit.  (Can you believe it? John and I were surfing last week!).  Plenty of good options for catching great live music (in warm, dry venues) from Beethoven to Ska to 80s to Zappa to Funk, Jazz & good ol’ Rock n Roll!  See tonight’s full lineup of live music in Gloucester and Cape Ann here.

Make sure you stop by the new home of Karl’s Sausage Kitchen. No longer at Oops, I missed the driveway on Route 1 right before 128, it is now, easy on and off at One Bourbon Street, Peabody, MA. Brats, and other multiple grill-able tubular meats and now a café with beer, wine, and your favorite German wiener on a plate with real honest to god mustard.

Has anyone checked out the new digs? Click their old Route 1 sign to go to Karl’s Facebook page. They are social media wieners.

Getting ready for my close-up photography workshop tomorrow

Native Flowering Dogwood ~ Cornus florida rubra

I am so excited to be teaching my photography workshop tomorrow. I’ve created an over arching superstructure for the class, from covering camera and photography basics, relevant to close-up photography, onto very specific techniques for capturing wildlife, and even more specific tips for individual species of butterflies.

I’ve been pouring over thousands upon thousands of photos and with over one hundred photos for the slide presentation, each technique will be comprehensively illustrated.

Several of the students have emailed and I am looking forward to meeting everyone. I hope to see you there.  Nature in Focus.

Eastern Tailed-blues ~ Everes comyntas

The Eastern Tailed-blue is a relatively small species of butterfly with a total wingspan of approximately one inch. It was at first very surprising to find a little group, of about a dozen or so, wandering around this pink zinnia. Eastern Tailed-blues are very skittish and generally a challenge to photograph well. I quickly realized that they had all recently   emerged from their pupal cases. Butterflies emerge from their chrysalides with wet crumpled wings and generally cannot fly until their wings are thoroughly dry. I took advantage of this fact and just snapped away while this unique opportunity presented itself.
