If you look below the buds, the Rose Hips are the bulbous growth that will be the fruit in which you can make rose hip jam later in the year.

Once the flowers fall off, the round bulbous Rosa Rugosa Hips form up.

I don’t know what’s gotten into the Mrs, but she’s been on a cooking frenzy.
I had a particularly tough day at work yesterday cleaning out the lobster tanks and working on setting up some new ones and I came home to a killer dinner and special dessert.
Home made biscuits and strawberry shortcake. Made with strawberries from the coop share we have at Appelton Farms.

When someone wants to force the teen pregnancy story down your throat to tell you how horrible a place Gloucester is, ask them where they live.
Then when they tell you Plaineville USA, ask them if they have a Schooner Festival there.
Then ask them if they have the Horribles parade and as many fireworks displays throughout the year that we have.
Then ask them if they have a beach that compares to Good Harbor, Wingersheek or Niles.
Then ask them if they can name their neighbors that live more than one house away from them.
Then ask them if they have the number of killer little mom and pop places to eat around their town instead of the generic chains.
Then ask them how many people they recognize when they walk into the local coffee shop if they even have a local coffee shop.
Then ask them if have the Dory Races and an ability to pay $50 for yearlong use of a Grand Banks Dory with a tie up spot on the water.
Then ask them if they can launch a small boat or kayak from a public landing in their town.
Then ask them if they can walk down to just about any spot on the harbor and take pictures or enjoy a sandwich watching the boats go by.
Then ask if they have an arts community that is one tenth as strong as ours.
An intimate setting, make reservations early if you want to eat here. The place fills up for a reason- the killer food that Ken and Nicole prepare in the heart of East Gloucester.

Well Ken and Nicole’s Joint isn’t exactly new any more but they still pump out the incredible food that garnered them this award. They have a fairly unique to these parts concept of allowing you to order half portions of meals. It’s a great way for folks to order a bunch of different things and sample them all.
