My View of Life on the Dock


Glimpses of our rich fishing history and current working waterfront can be seen everywhere you look. Reminders of the hardworking people who are trying so hard to keep it alive and who head out to sea even during these frigid winter months.

The sun came out to greet the high tide at Good Harbor Beach this week!






A boning knife makes trimming any large cut of beef infinitely easier.
I finally bought one after always using different, inferior for the job, knives.
Let me tell you it’s an absolute game changer.
I got a 5 inch Victorinox Boning Knife just ahead of the holidays to trim the Bone-In Roasts we enjoyed Christmas eve and Christmas Day.
Total game changer. Made short work and the agility it affords you with the shape and flexibility can not be understated.
It may seem like a silly thing but once you use one you’ll be totally aggravated when trying to trim a brisket , pork butt, tenderloin or roast without one.
Trust me on this one, you 100% should have one in your knife drawer if you do any amount of breaking down or trimming large cuts of meat.

Last night I put rolled oats, chia seeds, strawberries, sliced almonds, raspberries and oat milk in a jar.


I’ll report back on the taste.
Here’s a good article about he benefits of Overnight Oats From Bob’s Red Mill
Update:

OK so I just tried the first batch.
It was OK. Felt good eating it but a little lacking in flavor and sweetness. I may add a little honey drizzle next time.
I do feel satisfied though and ready to tackle the day and Pickleball. 😄
Caught this crew mid take off from the marsh the other day.

The recent grey damp days were starting to get me down so I went out looking for some inspiration. Despite the dreariness, there are still many bright spots to find out there if you seek them. I discovered that once you start looking, they are pretty easy to find AND make the day seem decidedly less grey.





Chef Aaron Budak invited us to a preview tasting and……..WOW!
May be the best coffee I’ve ever tasted.
Prices verrrrrry reasonable.
Smoked Haddock chowder could be award winning.
Roasted pork sandwich with tomato jam was a flavor explosion.
Trust me When I Tell You This Place Is Gonna Be Rocking !








Happy Humpback Cafe to open soon at 2 Lexington Ave Magnolia.
I’ll update you with the firm opening date when Chef Adam gives me the green light
Thanks for the invite chef!

I gotta save that quote for future use!
