Thank You Seacoast
Went to visit my dad this morning and Auntie Gerry was there hanging out with him. It’s always tough to see him with his reduced mental capacity but what gives me so much relief is the care he receives at Seacoast. Always clean shaven and looked after, they dote on him as well as all the other residents- patiently and thoughtfully.
It’s such a blessing to have him there with the angels who look after him.
Thank you

HUGE REMATCH RESCHEDULED – Sugar Mags vs. Classic Cooks Tomorrow (Thursday) at 4pm
OK, you’ve waited patiently now for 4 weeks to see this epic rematch and tomorrow is the day — 4pm Stage Fort Park — weather looks great — and we have a special twist: Thursday’s throwdown will help answer the question How does local seafood affect the health and diet of young people? In addition to the pro judges (Lara Lepionka of Backyard Growers and Beacon Street Farm and Hallie Baker of Turtle Alley Chocolates) we’ll have 3 youth judges who will make sure the chefs’ creations are compatible with young people’s palates — a very tall order, indeed. So bring your kids and get them to try the dishes too.
Here’s a video that Joey made of the last contest between these two culinary giants (check out the end of the video where Angela Sanfilippo tells you what to do with the head of a hake — delicious!)
And here’s the press release from Niaz Dorry of the Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance, who sponsors the throwdowns:
Seafood Throwdown Brings Unique Partnership to Farmers Market
Highlights Local Seafood in Healthcare Industry’s Purchasing Decisions
Gloucester, MA – Seafood Throwdown, a unique cooking competition that highlights the importance of local seafood in restoring a healthy ocean ecosystem, is back at Cape Ann Farmers Market on Thursday, August 23, 2012 with a twist: focus of this Throwdown will be to highlight the role of local seafood in young people’s health and diet while showcasing the work underway to assist healthcare industry in shifting their buying practices to support locally caught seafood. The Cape Ann Farmers’ Market and the Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance have sponsored Seafood Throwdowns for the past four years to raise awareness about why “Who Fishes Matters.”
This Thursday’s event is a rematch between Classic Cooks and Sugar Mags. Last year’s Seafood Throwdown winner Julie Ann Geary of Classic Cooks Catering will be joined by Justin Grandin of The Happy Taco food truck. They will compete against 5 time winner Sugar Mags who will be featuring Lidia Sands and Sandro Carvalho with owner Missy Hart cheering from the sidelines … download the full press release PDF here.
After the throwdown, be sure to stay in town for a night of great music at 10 local venues. See the full music lineup here.

Pier Tag & Diving with Zip Line Kid @ Magnolia Pier
Pre-K to college kids to grandpa. Everybody jumps off Magnolia pier. In this video, we catch part of a game of Pier Tag, followed by some aerial acrobatics and the Zip Line Kid’s first jump off the railing. Given the ages of some of these kids (and adults) you could say they’ve got at least as much skill and daring as the greasy pole walkers!
It’s a beautiful summer Sunday with over a dozen live music choices on Cape Ann (see full live music lineup here). Since the weather is soooooo good, consider the Celtic Music Sunset Sail with Michael O’Leary aboard the Schooner Lannon. Truly acoustic–no mics, no amps, no power except the wind in the sails and the power of great songs and excellent musicianship to move your soul.

The Schooner Thomas E. Lannon’s 15th Birthday Sail
If you come to Gloucester or if you’ve lived in Gloucester and you haven’t experienced a sail on the most beautiful ship in Gloucester harbor, The Thomas E. Lannon then I really feel sorry for you.
It’s beyond just bouncing along on a pretty boat, it’s the warmth and friendly hospitality of the Ellis family, Kay, Tom and Heath. It’s experiencing Gloucester harbor without the blaring of a diesel engine or the exhaust fumes. It’s the peace, it’s the sunset, it is the friendships forged.
I’m telling you right now you just gotta go. You have friends coming in from out of town? Take them on the Lannon, you’ll love it,and they will thank you.
