Sista Felicia Does St. Joseph’s Day Pasta For The Gloucester Times Taste of The Times
From The Gloucester Daily Times-
When Felicia was growing up this special recipe was prepared by her Aunt “FeFe“, Vincie and Uncle Mike (Militello). Now she makes it herself and passes along the family’s recipe secrets. The main ingredients are cauliflower, fava beans, and the ferns on top of the anise bulbs. In fact, since the grocers and supermarkets typically throw away this part of the plant before even putting it on the shelf, Felicia goes around each year to remind them to avoid that for this special week of St. Joseph’s Day so that she and others can properly make the dish.
Her aunt and uncle FeFe and Vincie used to create an alter every St. Joseph’s Day and that became very big, so big that many people came each year to pay their respects and eat some of the special pasta dish. The pasta sauce was served over home made St. Joseph fettuccini pasta. What made this St. Joseph Pasta is that all the flower used to prepare the feast was blessed by a priest the day before St. Joseph day. It was done, in fact, at a very special mass in Aunt FeFe and Uncle Vincie’s home in front of her alter. You cannot get much more authentic than that.

One of our favorite Chelsea Berry Songs
Here’s a great version of For You by Chelsea Berry filmed at the House Concert last Sunday.
Brute force string recovery @ Alchemy
Chelsea Berry broke two strings last night at Alchemy. That’s unusual for her — she must have been excited by the packed house.
In this video, her good friend Megan Burtt’s brute force helps Chelsea recover and continue the song.
Also notice how they tease Andrew & Clayton. A splendid time was had by all!
Lots to do tonight: folk, rock, blues, DJ Dancing and open mic. See full lineup here.
“You think that it is a safe place to hide – But I’ve already been there”
Lyrics like that are why this song will be a HIT. Then there’s the haunting melody, full of gorgeous melismas, sung perfectly by rising star Megan Burtt, who’s visiting her friend Chelsea Berry in Gloucester this week.
You can see the two of them at Alchemy tonight at 7pm. Might be your last chance to catch this Denver native for a while, unless you want to follow her on tour — see dates here.
If you can’t get in to Alchemy, there’s other great music in town (see full lineup here). And you late-nighters can see Dennis Monagle hosting The Dejas starting at 9pm at Minglewood.

Rules of the 2012 bikini/speedo Dodgeball tournament
All 5 team members will start by lining up against the back of their side of the court,
5 balls will be distributed across the center line (2 large kickball style balls, and 3
smaller “stingers”)
On the ref’s whistle, teams can race to the center to claim the balls; those who get balls
must retreat to the back wall again before throwing their first ball. Balls thrown before
that will not count.
Balls that bit the ground first or the side of the court are dead, and do not count for outs if
they then hit a player.
If a player is holding a ball, they can use it to block other balls thrown at them.
If you are hit by a ball or your throw is caught cleanly by a member of the opposite team,
you are out, and must immediately stand in the side court area in the order you were hit.
If a player catches a ball, one player from their team who is already out in the side court
area can come back in the game. (follow the order of outs, the first one who was out is
the first back in, etc.)
No head hunting. Balls thrown at the face will not count as outs and the thrower will be
warned.
Balls that fly out of the court will be retrieved and returned to the side of the court where
they went out of bounds.
Once all 5 players from a team are out, the match is over.
This is a great event for a great cause… have fun!!
