Maybe you drive right by this every day, but do you look and see what’s there? Luckily for me, Jim is usually driving so I can gander out the window all I like and still be safe so I ALWAYS take an extra look when we go by here just in case it’s extra-special pretty like this.

From Ronnie Benjamin:

Thank you for taking the time to visit my page. As some of you know, I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer earlier this year. Despite ongoing chemotherapy treatments, colorectal surgery and travelling between some of the best cancer centers in Massachusetts and New York, I was given the grim news, that I am currently no longer a candidate for many of the life saving options available, because of the innumerable tumors throughout my liver. The only chance I have for long-term survival, is to undergo a live liver transplant. This is where someone donates a small portion of their healthy liver, to save my life. This portion of donated liver, will grow into a healthy new liver for me, and the donor’s liver will grow back too! Not able to donate? No problem! There are still many ways to help. Sharing my story/posts on Facebook, liking and commenting on my posts (this helps people see posts more frequently) and using your voice to help spread the word. Your support during this journey to find a donor, could be the life saving gift I desperately need, to grow old with my wife and three boys.

You may remember reading out our teflon pan nightmare here:

The Open And Closed Case Against Teflon Coated Cookware

in response to the above pan disintegrating before our eyes, this is the one we purchased to replace it. Also the recommendations from others you may recognize with the links to read reviews/purchase of those pans.

Here’s the one we purchase:

SENSARTE Nonstick Ceramic Frying Pan Skillet, 12.5 Inch Omelet Pan, Healthy Non Toxic Chef Pan, Induction Compatible Egg Pan with Heat Resistant Handle, PFAS-Free, White

Robin Dagle Towne

We love our caraway pans. They’re ceramic so still nonstick.

I have cast iron and stainless steel pans – sticking is not an issue

Sharon Lowe

We’ve had no problems at all with cast iron. Two glass cooktops and no issues.

Linda Scott

Straight stainless steel.

Katherine Richmond

If you get cast iron, pay top dollar for a good one. It’s worth it. So many are made cheaply. Yeti has one for $400. And it’s worth every penny. It takes a month to make.

Barbara Vadala

yup I bought cast-iron the other day and I have stainless steel and all of my Teflon things are going to the thrift center here in Kingstonnh

Allison Gomarlo Odoardi

Eek! I would vote for Made In or All Clad stainless steel for pots and pans and USA Pan cookie sheets and bakeware if cast iron is not an option. If enamel cast iron is safe, the Le Creuset Dutch oven is so worth it! On another note, have you watched The Bear yet? Sooo good–all imho?

Marianne Giambanco Paquette

Good old fashioned cast iron pan after you used it many times does not stick. Our parents used it!

Nina Randazzo

Stainless steel 18/10 all day long. All components have to be the same material too for the handles. No wood or plastic pieces.

G400+ presents: Exploring the Colors of Cape Ann through Natural Dyeing with Artist Maia Mattson

Photo by Tiana Cerone

The Gloucester 400+ and ROBBERSDAUGHTER are excited to present this inclusive, all ages art programming exploring the botany of Gloucester through natural dyeing.

Led by local artist Maia Mattson, this art programming weaves together community connection with the unique natural environment that surrounds us on Cape Ann. In these classes we will be using botanical materials exclusively sourced and foraged from Gloucester. Using these materials we will practice a variety of natural dyeing techniques and quilting design. Participants will have the opportunity to make their own 2’x3′ ft flag using the naturally dyed fabric. Participants can work in teams to design and create their flags or make their own. Toward the end of the art series we will facilitate a reception showcasing the work of the participants. All experience levels welcome, we will learn and experiment together! All classes will be hosted at the Gloucester 400+ Office at 123 Main St.

This is one of my favorites places to stop and take a look near Farnhams on Eastern Ave in Essex. In fact, my CB (crystal ball) image took second place recently in the most recent Essex in Bloom photo contest and is one of my all time favorite images. The skies have been amazing recently. Every night we remind ourselves what a blessing it is to be on Cape Ann.
