Heather Atwood Now Blogging On Her Food for Thought Blog
Heather is blogging on what looks like a Gloucester Daily Times blog platform. Heather is full of passion for food and writing and especially proud of telling the stories behind the food.
I’m looking forward to seeing more from her.
From her blog-
Everyone has a story about food, whether it’s a grandmother’s recipe or an unforgettable meal from a Japanese stand on the way to the Tokyo airport. Ultimately, the recipe for Nisu bread or the bowl of soba are the vehicles for the larger tale, usually a story of warmth, joy, love, adventure, even loss.
Food is a language with which we talk about life. It marks what we were doing when we loved someone, when we were loved by someone, when we were happy, when we were trying to change the world, when we were on an adventure. The fact that one of the symptoms of extreme grief is to stop eating, makes certain there will be no taste around to remind us of that time. When life turns a bad corner, taste refuses to go with it, stubbornly remaining a signal only of life’s better times.
For years I wrote fiction, but also spent much of my time cooking or talking about cooking with friends and family. I finally saw that the stories were always at my table. Or they were at my friends’ tables, or the table of the stranger I would meet that day.
The “Food for Thought” blog will be a corner to collect those stories and the recipes that go with them. With a free-wheeling mix of literature, images, and just about anything revelatory about the powers of food – growing it, remembering it, preserving it, crafting it – “Food for Thought” welcomes all. In the words of Virginia Woolf, “One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.”
Here is an interview with Heather we did

New Handpainted Flags at Paulines Gifts
Hi Joey,
Tom and Lisa from the amazing “LOBSTER POOL” restaurant have been coming into the store for many years purchasing flags. This year after no luck finding a pre-made lobster flag for the restaurant I offered to paint one for them.
Should be flying there this weekend. It was a lot of fun creating this for them.
I think after this hand painting flags will be a new item for the shop.
Thanks and hope to see you soon.Pauline Bresnahan

The 1255 Food Posts In The Past Two Years Post That Turned Into A Diatribe About Categories
It has come to my attention when clicking on the Eats category in the category pull down section in the right hand column of the Blog that GMG has 1255 posts in the “Eats” category. Now some most of you may not know what that means technically speaking but to further explain, most every time we make a post little boxes get checked off which are categories which I set up so that people can go directly to the certain category they may be interested in. There is a “Gloucester At Dawn Category” which gets a checkmark every time I post one of the Gloucester At Dawn series and then it gets categorized. There is a “Fishermen Profiles” category, “Gloucester Doors”, “Art”,”Working Boats”, “What Up Homie” and a whole bunch of other categories which break things down for people.
I put in extra steps to add tags on each post so that people can do searches on certain subjects also (another way to make the blog easily researchable). It is extremely time consuming to add in these extra steps but it also makes GMG an unbelievable resource by being able to document and find certain subjects by using keyword tags, in conjunction with dates of certain events and the categories.
Anyway the point of this whole post rambling diatribe was originally to simply point out that over the past couple of years that we’ve given highlight to over 1254 area dishes at local restaurants and chefs. That’s pretty astonishing really.
Feel free to check out the category pull down in the lower right hand column of the blog which can be found here for all you folks that only get the feed at the end of the night and don’t actually visit the site.
Just go to GMG and scroll down the right hand column til you see this drop down box titled “Select Category” click the little arrow and the drop down box will reveal all the different categories you can peruse at your leisure.
It looks like this-
