Trying to make Pilot Crackers

feeds@yuku.com (MissDimples) — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 20:36:41 GMT

I've been doing some online research on "hard tack" for awhile now, hoping to find a recipe that is supposed to be much like Pilot Crackers. I settled on one and decided to try it tonight to go with my homemade haddock chowder. I mean, nothing else really goes with chowder, does it??

So, most of the recipes called for simply flour, water and salt, but the one I tried also called for a little shortening. For a first try, they weren't bad and I think...

Men's Night on Main Street - Thursday

feeds@yuku.com (Sigurdr) — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 20:03:40 GMT

For all the guys, this Thursday is Men's Night on Main Street in Gloucester. It's the perfect excuse to get out of the house, go out to eat downtown and grab a few adult beverages while supporting various local stores. Most stores serve free beer and wine to keep you sane while you shop. Not bad, not bad at all...

laughing after reading the paper

feeds@yuku.com (lmnopgloucester) — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 19:57:17 GMT

I am laughing after reading the paper online about the charter school narrowing down their decision to perhaps Brown's Mall on Main Street. I can't help but envision the cars stacked up to drop their kids off every day and pick them up, on Main Street (or anywhere nearby), idling and double parking, every day, having an impact on Main Street businesses, taking up parking. I also can't imagine my kids stuffed inside Brown's Mall all year without an ounce of air. If this...

Owl ID?

feeds@yuku.com (Cape Ann Web) — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 18:31:15 GMT

Went to retrieve a ladder from the back of the house - and lo! Young screech? We often hear owls - sometimes very often and very loud - and occasionally see them. Years ago we had a great horned nest in a tree a few hundred feet away, with enough clearing to be able to watch the babies hatch - snow white when they are born. I don't think the great horned has ears like this one.

Of course we left the ladder there and will be checking to see if it flies or if mom comes to...

Christmas Lights!

feeds@yuku.com (Thong Extractor) — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 11:27:53 GMT

I love Christmas lights during the Christmas season. However, they seem to be a bigger mystery than the Pyramids, Sphyinx and the Intel microprocessor combined.
Last year I took them off my house, tested them, coiled them neatly and stored them in a warm dry place. This year three out of the six strings don't fv>king work! They come with little extra fuses and bulbs that are useless. I've yet to figure where the stupid fuse goes and why it would be blown anyway. When a whole...

It will take a couple more hours for most of the ice and snow which descended on us overnight to melt.
Only a couple of inches of snow, but the ice is dangerous walking. Good luck avoiding same.
