I spent a few very tranquil nights in a cabin in the mountains of Tinamaste.

Camarones jumbo with garlic sauce! One of the better meals I have had here. Chocolate cake with an Oreo crumble. Casado pescado which also included a cerveza!

Incredibly fresh fish here at great prices. These two Whole Red Snappers were $7! Fresh fruit juice drinks and smoothies sooooo good here. 🥭 🍉 I love all the small eateries serving out of the local’s houses, it feels very personal. They cook out of the same kitchen for their families. Or serve ice cream and sundaes. Pura vida 🙏 🌴

I bow down to the almighty Costa Rican “Casado”. For about $8 a plate, it really gets the job done. Lizano salsa is the country’s salsa, super savory but not hot. Lots of pure honey here and this Eucalyptus and Mint version really elevates my daily Yerba Mate. Last plate I made here: pinto beans w/ham, tortillas, egg, sliced pineapple and Lizano salsa. Pura vida 🙏

This is what I am up to now at Savour Wine & Cheese. I am officially a “cheesemonger”. Come on by for a wide selection of the world’s best cheeses and charcuterie in town. Boards to order. Also making bone broth (chicken) and looking to start making some soups now that there is a chill in the air. Hoping to launch Cape Ann Seacuterie next spring.

I just tried this Vietnamese restaurant. The food was to die PHO!!! Best pho I have ever had. Clean, healthy and extremely flavorful. Also, succulent braised ribs with a killer sauce that struck the perfect balance of savory, sweet and spicy. Most importantly, made with love from the ❤️ I had the pleasure of speaking with one of the owners, Sa. She is keeping her culture alive through food. I encourage everyone to give it a try.

Pilates? I love those drinks! None other than my sister, Lesley Rice, has opened her own Pilates studio at 65 Essex Ave, Suite AB-1. She will help you mend your broken parts ❤️ She has me feeling well enough to get back to doing all the things I love. She will use various modalities such as soft tissue work, cupping and assisted stretching in addition to the two reformers there. At $40/hr, she is a relative bargain in this space.

Set from the play “Reparations” by the Gloucester Stage Company. Nothing like seeing a play outside on a warm summer night with a cool breeze. Well worth checking out. My favorite line: “Self-delusion is the dearest and deadliest contraband”. We have all been there;-)

Decided to jump off of Crystal at Steel to celebrate my 60th. It was recently featured in a scene from the movie CODA. Creative liberties were taken and the actors called it "The Barge" which is another spot to jump off at the quarry. I forgot how much the adrenaline rush gets you going! Better than a triple shot of espresso! 🙏

I am back from Boulder a few months earlier than planned due to some issues with my winter rental tenants. When one door closes.....another one opens. I am helping some good friends (Matthew Sharlot & Karen Keohane-Sharlot, former proprietors of The Wellington Room in Portsmouth) open FlyBy Cafe & Takeaway in downtown Exeter, NH. Their concept ties in to a well known UFO sighting that occurred in Exeter in 1965. It feels good to be cooking again and creating delicious food. Come on by for lunch, just over an hour's drive from Cape Ann. Ciao!
