My View of Life on the Dock

We saw our friend the adult eagle along Little River a few days ago enjoying the sun. My limited experience with eagles has taught me that each has its own personality and this particular eagle is a bit skittish. So I am extra careful to keep my distance and remain quiet in its presence so it won’t fly off before I’ve had a chance to watch for a while. It very clearly acknowledged my presence with the stare down you see here. It’s a little unnerving. However, it did stick around while I chatted with a neighbor out for a run with her dog for which I was grateful
Sawyer Free Library will be hosting Dr. Tricia Peone, Project Director of New England’s Hidden Histories, for a discussion on witchcraft and memory during women’s history month this Thursday, March 21 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.
Today when we think about witchcraft, we tend to think about the infamous Salem witch trials. But what did it mean to believe in witchcraft in the seventeenth century and how widespread were these beliefs? How did people know if they were bewitched and who was to blame? This talk will explore the stories of several women accused of witchcraft in New England, including in Gloucester, and consider how this history continues to affect us today. Through these stories we can see not only how ideas about witchcraft have changed over time, but also changes in ideas about commemoration, justice, family legacies, and the responsibilities of communities that have been historical sites of violence.
Dr. Tricia Peone previously worked at Historic New England, where she was a research scholar for the Recovering New England’s Voices project. She has also previously worked as the public programs director at New Hampshire Humanities, a university lecturer teaching classes on the Salem witch trials, early New England, and public history, and as a researcher for cultural heritage organizations. Her scholarship focuses on early modern magic and witchcraft and her work on these subjects has appeared in journals, books, blogs, and on radio and television. She holds a PhD in history from the University of New Hampshire with a specialization in the early modern Atlantic world and history of science.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day. I consider myself very lucky to be living in Gloucester and Half Moon Beach is one of the places that makes me happiest year round, so I thought today would be a good time to share these. I know some of you out there have many wonderful and warm memories from Half Moon Beach and Stage Fort Park.
It’s gonna be a smash burger contest. If you don’t know what a smash burger is or if you don’t like smash burgers or your teacher at culinary school taught you to never smash a burger then don’t enter. IDGAF
I’m going to interview judges that understand and appreciate the style of burger and they will be panelists.
If you enter and present a traditional fat patty burger I will personally embarrass your entry for not understanding the competition you entered.
This is not a traditional hamburger contest (no slight to traditional hamburgers, they can be great) but a traditional fat hamburger is not a fuxking SMASH Burger.
The rules will be simple.
You can cook with anything you want, a griddle, cast iron pan, you can bring a whole conventional kitchen if you want to lug it. But you’ll cook in front of the judges and we will judge you based on cooking a real smash burger, the bun, the flavor and the construction of the burger.
Again, please don’t enter if you don’t know what a smash burger is. I’m begging you. Go enter a burger contest somewhere else.
This is going to be a best smash burger contest. date TBD
For reference Oak To Ember’s smash burger-
More importantly, for reference, the style in preparation from onlydbls in Naples
