Zucchini is a popular summer veggie, prolific around this time of year in Maine, as it’s one of the easiest vegetables to grow. But it’s a little lacking in taste, unless you roast it with plenty of garlic, salt, and olive oil. Then it’s yummy. But what isn’t yummy with garlic, olive oil, and salt? And with some Parmesan cheese thrown on top to turn golden brown when roasted? Duh.
Lincoln County Artsbeat
Guitar loops for lunch: I treated myself two weeks in a row, taking in both of Salt Bay Chamberfest’s free Thursdays @ Noon concerts at Lincoln Theater in Damariscotta. Last week, I wrote about the fabulous hour-long solo performance on Aug. 9 by world-class classical guitarist Jason Vieaux. This week, I will tell you about the equally top-notch – but style-wise wildly different – noontime concert of electric guitarist Steven Mackey.
Ponder and Stir
When you lose someone you love, your life changes. When I lost my best friend, Steve, I realized immediately how much my life would change.
Truckin’ in America
Hey folks! So I rolled over about 4:30 in the a.m. this Saturday past, gave Ms. Sue a little peck, and jumped out of bed. After a quick shower and shave, and another little peck (I think she mumbled something like “Have a safe trip”), I was out the door.

Beautiful music for lunch: I had the pleasure on Thursday, Aug. 9 of attending the noontime concert of classical guitarist Jason Vieaux at Lincoln Theater in Damariscotta, part of Salt Bay Chamberfest’s new Thursdays @ Noon series.
Paws for Thought
As I sit here staring at a blank screen, it occurs to me that I might need some help. I love animals; I could write about the antics of my doggo and kitty friends all day long, but that doesn’t mean you, as a reader, want to hear about them. So I’m asking for your help. I need some new ideas. Otherwise, you’ll be forced to hear about my cat and how cute she is for the 837th time. (To be fair, she is pretty darned cute; however, I may be biased.)
Ask the Vet The importance of the physical exam and vaccination
“Why does my pet need a physical exam every year?”
Detecting disease early is key to helping our pets live longer, healthier, and more comfortable lives. The health of your pet can change rapidly as he or she ages, and changes often go unnoticed.
Truckin’ in America
Hey folks, been an interestin’ week truckin’, as I made another trip down to Amish country in Pennsylvania. Although I didn’t deliver to an Amish farm, I did deliver to a feed mill that sells mostly to the Amish people.
Food, Life, and Manhattans Jean Elliot Thayer left us
So last weekend was kind of an emotional roller-coaster ride. I’ll get to food in a bit, I promise, but as the column head states, this is about life too. And Manhattans, of course.

Energy Matters Fossil fuels, move aside!
The basic direction of the world away from coal, oil, and natural gas is at last undeniable. On Wall Street, regardless of dominant political trends, the fossil fuel industry has morphed from the investor’s surest bet into an increasingly challenged enterprise.
