JOEY C WANTS HIS MENTOS!!!!

Posted on by DIY SKI GUY

Being good friends with Joey C is always an adventure. I would say in our friendship, I am Cameron and he is Ferris Bueller (“he’ll keep calling and calling and calling”) or maybe I’m just part of his entourage. I can tell you this much, I have never came home and said “wow that was an awful time”.

Joey calls me on Wednesday and says I need to show up for a tasting at Cape Ann Brewery and then we will head over to Cape Ann TV. The “Tasting” was me crashing the Chamber of Commerce meetup. When we headed over to Cape Ann TV, we decided to have some fun. Joey wrote up his list of demands to be interviewed and I went in first and said I was his assistant. I clearly stated that as a result of all the media attention Joey has gotten, he has developed quite an ego and had a few requests:

The host Richard Sagall told me right from the start all we have at Cape Ann TV is tap water and a vending machine. I said I had to go back to the car and talk to Joey to see if he would come in. He came in and we all had a laugh, including the 3 high school interns.

Joey then put me on the stage with him. I post for him about once a month, but he called me key to the whole team. He then proceeded to crush the interview bringing that passion, honesty and a little bit of edge that makes him Joey C, his blog great and this community a better place! Richard and the interns were great sports, as he called them out for not posting their content to the internet and even tried to get some content for GMG from the high school interns. ABLC – Always Be looking for contributors! On the way out the door a lady yells to us from the Gym – “Joey do you ever Sleep!!!!”

We finished up the night with the boys from the Farm and brainstormed for the next event we want to partner up on. Crazy night? Nope, just a night out with Joey C.

Thanks for reading – Patrick R.

Talking Vodka with Bob Ryan of Ryan & Wood Distillery

Posted on by laurielufkin

Hello Friends!  After a bit of a hiatus from recipe creation and show taping I am back!  And can you think of a better way to come back than to make a show about vodka?  I can’t!

Remember that stretch of really hot days in August?  I do, and you will too when you watch this show on Cape Ann TV that we filmed at Ryan & Wood Distillery during one of those days.  Heat aside, the place is incredible.  I know a little about a lot of things but I had no idea how vodka was made, just that I enjoy it on occasion.  The process is so simple yet so complicated at the same time that I felt like I was in science class all over again.  The heat inside the building is necessary to keep the products at the appropriate temperature and the near 100 degrees outside that day, and the fantastic aroma of the products being distilled made my head spin that day!

My sister Kate Lufkin and I had a tour which took us through the entire process from the raw ingredients to how they do the small batch bottling by hand.   When the tour was over Kate made some excellent cocktails and I made the recipe below–Vodka cured salmon with lemon mustard sauce.  I hope you enjoy it!

You can easily increase the amount of salmon by two or three times to feed a large crowd and if well wrapped, this cured fish keeps for weeks under refrigeration.  The sauce is excellent with all kinds of fish and shellfish and also works well with chicken or a sandwich spread so make lots!

Vodka Cured Salmon with Lemon Mustard Sauce

Beauport Vodka Cured Salmon with Mustard Lemon Sauce

¾ pound skin on salmon fillet

1 lemon, zested and juiced
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar
¼ cup chopped fresh dill
¼ cup Beauport Vodka

Rinse and pat dry salmon.  Set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine lemon zest, one tablespoon lemon juice, salt, sugar chopped dill and vodka.  Stir to combine.

On a flat plate, layer 3 sheets of plastic wrap overlapping each other.  Place salmon, skin side down on the middle of the wrap.  Pour mixture on top of salmon flesh and tightly wrap.  Use more plastic wrap around salmon if necessary to keep liquid in.  Place on a flat plate and balance another plate on top of salmon and weight plate with something heavy, like a pound of butter for example.

Store salmon in fridge overnight or for at least 18 hours.  When ready to serve, remove wrap and rinse off dill mixture.  Pat salmon dry and thinly slice with the grain of the fish.  Serve on crostini, thinly sliced bread or with eggs (excellent!) and bagels, topping with the lemon mustard sauce  (recipe follows) as desired.

Mustard Lemon Sauce

¼ cup horseradish mustard (or any flavor you like)
¼ cup good mayonnaise
2 teaspoons shallot, finely chopped
1 tablespoons lemon juice (or more to taste)
Salt & pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients together.  Refrigerate until ready to use.

Inspired Cooking airs on Cape Ann TV on Tuesday nights at 8:30, Friday afternoons at 4:30 and Sundays at 11:30 AM.  I hope you will tune in!  If you have any “inspirations” for show topics please let me know by commenting on this entry or email me at laurielufkin@yahoo.com.  Thank you for watching!

So excited to be part of GMG!

Copy of Laurie for Food Network

Hello Everyone!

My name is Laurie Lufkin and I like to cook. I am a Mom, a small business owner (and the business is not cooking-related), a competitive cook and I also work for my family’s business. I want to tell you how excited I am to be part of such a dynamic group. I am grateful to have a place to share the recipes from my television show, Inspired Cooking. The show airs on Cape Ann TV (Ch. 12) on Tuesday evening at 8:30, Friday afternoon at 4:30 and Sunday morning at 11:30. Each week the theme, or “inspiration” of the show changes and so far I have covered everything from easy party appetizers to organic ice cream.

I want to be clear here. I am not a chef, I have never had any formal culiary instruction but I have been fortunate enough to be surrounded since childhood with family and friends who know their way around the kitchen. I admire and respect those who are the real chefs and it is likely that the old adage rings true for me that “if I had only known then what I know now” I might have chosen that career path. In spite of my lack of training, I have won several local and national cooking contests and even appeared on Food Network.

I will post the recipes each Sunday morning for the dishes that will appear on my show that week. Please feel free to ask questions, make comments and try them out for yourselves. I am also very open to suggestions for guests, location shoots and your “inspirations” you would like to see incorporated into the show. I hope you enjoy it!

See those big ass lights hanging from the ceiling?  They get HOT!

The room is air conditioned but those bad boys when fired up would heat up the antarctic.

We watched a live meeting at City Hall while waiting to switch over and go live for our interview with Sinikka for The Cape Ann Report.  I believe you can see Jason Grow on the monitors.  The feed goes straight from City Hall To Cape Ann TV and gets transmitted out to local homes.   It’s a great service that Local TV provides to bring these meetings into our homes.

One Third Of Team Block Party With Sinakka Nogelo

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

We had a blast at Cape Ann TV studios (despite the lack of a fluffer).  Vickie was on point as usual with her lists and great memory.  I’m a little disapointed we didn’t get in a “concentric circles” reference for Erika Hansen, but other than that I think we hit all the points we wanted to get across.  Sinikka tells me it should be aired once or twice more.  I’ll let y’all know if I find out when.

You just have to watch it when re-aired so you can catch Vickie’s idea for a Pimp and Ho themed Block Party for next year.

Sinikka has a way of relaxing you on the set and making the whole interview fun and engaging.
