Dear Joey
We had your lobsters tonight and as we have done after every lobster we got from you, my husband and I sprawled across our dining room chairs and said: OMG, that was the best (f___, you know the word) lobster I had in my life. We’ll be back for more real soon
Best
JoAnn
Joey, I stopped in earlier today– you were right about Mamie’s burgers. Here’s a pic of the Greek burger.

Her cup of chicken & rice soup and "half" sandwich were delish. Thanks for your recommendation. I’m looking forward to chewing down tonight on the lobsters we bought from you!
Best,

Every year Tony makes Frank and I a loaf of his much sought after Swedish coffee bread. I’m afraid to open it because once you eat the first bite i can’t stop til that whole sucker is gone. (I’m not sure if he puts heroin in it, the stuff is so damn addicting).
Tony Gross 2009 Swedish Coffee Bread
Posted on December 21, 2009 by Joey C
Every Christmastime Tony Gross, the skipper of the lobsterboat F/V Sandollar makes a ridiculous number of Swedish Coffee Bread loaves and gives them out to friends. I made the mistake and called it Nisu but because the recipe comes from an elder in Tony’s family he insists it be called Swedish Coffee Bread.
It’s delicious and best eaten within a day of cooking. I sure am glad I’m on the list of those who get one every year!

In this day and age would it be safe to say that 97% of all restaurant leftovers get reheated in a microwave?
So why in the world do restaurants use aluminum to-go containers that will cause sparks to fly if you try to reheat them?
Makes absolutely no sense to me. You know who uses the best to-go containers? Chipolte. It’s a heavy duty paper dish that has some type of lamination that doesn’t make it soggy. Totally holds up and is totally microwavable and I assume very recyclable.
I wonder what the thought process is for restaurateurs. Is it 100% based on low cost? Is it based on ease of storage in their space?
Not as terrible a to-go option as the styrofoam soggy fry containers but still not optimal.

Y’all should get down on your knees and grovel and beg for Sista Felicia to publish her twice baked potato recipe.
Went to grab a sub at the supermarket as I was in a hurry and on the way out of the store picked up a bag of Doritos.
I haven’t eaten a bag of Doritos for at least a year.
I feel disgusting.
What a waste of calories. Empty- disgusting- make your breath bad- disgusting calories.
Idiot.
What makes it worse was just last week when I took Snoop Maddie Mad out for some special father-daughter time we were at a restaurant and this guy with pleated dress slacks and a royal blue shirt sits down next to us with his dinner- two hot dogs, two cans of regular pepsi and a bag of chips. The guy was a total mess with greasy hair and a huge gut and slight shoulders- just carried all his weight like a tire made out of crisco right around his waist.
All I could think of was how the guy had totally given up on life. No pride, not even trying. Like if it was one hot dog, one can of regular soda and a bag of chips that would have been one thing. But nooo, straight up two hot dogs, two cans of soda and a bag of chips. I’m sorta surprised he didn’t double up on the chips. May as well at that point, right? Like if you’re trying to kill yourself live it up man, just fill out the two way shit trifecta and double up all the way around.
Seriously. Two hot dogs, two cans of sugar-laden pepsi and a bag of chips? Have some respect for yourself. You know the whole your body is a temple saying and all that?
I shoulda known better than to pick up that bag of Doritos.
I won’t make that mistake again any time soon. Believe that!

My buddy Sheree has her own blog-
"The title of this blog comes from my mother. She always used to say, “Sheree is such a good conversationalist.” This was her kind and gentle way of saying, “Sheree talks nonstop.” She would also say, “When Sheree dies and goes to Heaven, she won’t miss a beat. She’ll just look straight at God and say, ‘As I was saying….’ and continue on with her chatter.” So the title is a nod to my mother and her wit.
Lazy Man’s Lobster Pie
Lobster pie is one of the most elegant meals you can have. On its own or as part of a surf and turf with a petit filet it is the ultimate special occasion romantic dinner. But it’s so easy to make! We call it “Lazy Man’s Lobster Pie” because the guests don’t have to be bothered with the shell.

From The Gloucester Daily Times-
Felicia Ciaramitaro Mohan serves this butternut squash and leek soup to her guests every Thanksgiving. It is very popular, delicious and you can learn to make it very quickly.
After peeling and cutting up the squash you should cut and clean the leeks. Unfortunately the growing method for leeks causes them to build up dirt inside and requires that you cut and clean them carefully. To clean them you first trim off the root end, leaving about 1/4 inch of the base, which is the white portion. Next you should take off any of the rough outer leaves and throw them away. Then trim each of the darker parts of the leaves down to the light green portion (this is the more tender portion) and leave only an inch or two of green. You may want to reserve the darker green leaves you cut off for other uses.
