    Eating Well Is the Best Revenge

    By: Charles Giuliano - Dec 04th, 2023

    Americans are fascinated by the filthy rich. Audiences lapped up five seasons of Downton Abbey. Now Julian Fellowes has moved the franchise from PBS to HBO. We follow the robber barons and their social climbing wives on the sumptuous but smarmy Gilded Age. This grand but shallow soap opera is lavish and entertaining. It is worth watching for costumes and spectacle. We are enthralled by a sit down dinner for 60 set in a Newport Cottage. We recommend Becky Libourel Diamond's cook book with recipes to emulate the fine dining seen in the series.

Obesity is essential to success in the sport resulting in disease and premature death. While I had no prior knowledge of the sport I am now a fan.

    A Renowned American Realist

    By: Charles Giliano - Nov 16th, 2023

    One of America's foremost realist painters, Jeff Weaver, lives and works in Gloucester. His exhibition at the Cape Ann Museum preceded the blockbuster show of Edward and Josephine Hopper. Weaver drew little media and critical attention while the Hoppers put Gloucester on the map. There are apt comparisons. Hopper was more famous and a better artist while Weaver, hands down, is the more skillful painter.
