The Buzz Buzz on the Bay The California two-spot octopus might have a West Coast origin, but it’s making itself right at home in Bristol
Eight-Armed Mischief Maker Meet the Audubon Society of Rhode Island’s newest aquarium addition, the California two-spot octopus A mysterious mollusc with eight arms, two spots, and a West Coast origin now makes a splash in the Ocean State as the Audubon Society of Rhode Island’s newest addition to their Nature Center and Aquarium as of November. The California two-spot octopus might hail from Pacific waters, but it’s making itself right at home in Bristol thanks to a breeding program at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The octopus is described by ASRI as “captivating”, and that is certainly no exaggeration: The cephalopod can color-change to fit its environment, patterned with easily camouflaged grey or yellow splotches. It also has two distinct, bright blue fake eye spots that give it its name, which are used to deter potential predators. The octopus is fascinating to watch creep along the aquarium bed, mimicking the way it would move along the Californian reefs looking for food – its favorites are mollusks and crustaceans.
“It’s a tricky one,” ASRI warns in a press release announcing the octopus’s arrival, since octopi are among the most intelligent of all invertebrate. They cite stories of daring ones disassembling thermometers or escaping from their tanks. To occupy the restless creature, the octopus is given Lego blocks with bits of shrimp hidden inside to pull apart. Speaking of hidden, that’s another pastime for the octopus – it loves to curl up in nooks and crannies, observing the waters around it from a safe distance with a watchful eye, often surprising visitors when they walk by a seemingly empty tank and suddenly see an eight-armed animal propel itself from hiding. Despite its mischievous nature, ASRI is excited for the California two-spot to join the family. To learn more about the creatures making ASRI their home, plan a visit to the Nature Center and Aquarium at 1401 Hope Street, Bristol. ASRI.org -Megan Schmit

Identifying markers for the Country Inn have been removed in wake of its sudden closure
Country Inn is Out Favorite Warren restaurant closes after more than 50 years in business There are only a few restaurants left in Rhode Island that feel truly like home. With Ocean State favorites like Veal Parmigiana and Baked Stuffed Scrod, the Country Inn in Warren was known for its friendly service, good food, and welcoming, sit-down-and-stay-awhile atmosphere. They always made all their guests feel like family. For 50 years, the restaurant greeted its patrons with hospitality and a full plate, but on November 12, without warning, the restaurant closed. The note posted on the front door came as a shock to everyone, community and employees alike, including waitress and mother of four Morgan Kolaski, who worked at the town favorite for three years. “I got a text at eight in the morning, Monday morning: ‘Country Inn is closed, ladies.’ No notice, no warning,” she recalls. In August they had lost their General Manager, and at that point, Kolaski had her first inkling that something might be up. However, no answers came from management. Many of the wait staff had worked at Country
Inn for decades. The Jan Company, owner of the restaurant plus other local franchises, has yet to reach out with a reason behind the eatery unexpectedly closing its doors. According to Kolaski, the closure of Country Inn was oddly timed: They had recently been busier, with more customers for dinner in the previous Saturday nights, following a period of slow lunches. “There are busy days and there are slow days, that’s just how it is in the restaurant business,” Kolaski explains. Since the loss of the Inn, members of the community have voiced their collective shock and dismay on social media, sharing memories of dinners past. In a gesture of support, many restaurants around the state have hired the Inn’s now unemployed staff, including Skyline at Waterplace Park and Lauren’s Restaurant, where Kolaski now works as a waitress and bartender. Many of the old Country Inn regulars can now be found at other joints across Warren on Saturday nights, but still fondly remember their former gathering spot. -Alyssa Anderson

PRESCHOOL ( AGE 3) – EIGHTH GRADE
Fourteen years ago, East Bay Community Action Program’s dental clinic was bursting at the seams. The nonprofit whose mission is to offer high quality comprehensive health services to East Bay residents, regardless of insurance or financial status, devised a creative way to serve more of the East Bay community by bringing their quality dental care directly to the kids. Enter the Molar Express, a 42-foot-long mobile dental office. Together with their East Bay Smiles program, which uses portable equipment that can be set up in schools, they serve nearly one thousand K-12 students, plus four Head Start programs, throughout the East Bay. “The East Bay spans ten cities and towns and our clinic is based at our offices in Newport,” EBCAP’s communications director Maggie Laurianno explains. “For people living in East Providence or Bristol County, simply getting their kids to the clinic can be an enormous barrier. The Molar Express and East Bay Smiles removes that barrier.” Both The Molar Express and the East Bay Smiles program cover preventative maintenance as well as treat more extensive dental issues, from fillings to root canals. Their dental team is acutely aware that for many
kids going to the dentist can be a scary experience. Kim Duran, who leads the dental program, says that they focus on clearly explaining what the kids can expect at the appointment. For the more apprehensive little ones, they’re not against singing a goofy song or telling a silly joke to help with jitters. All their dental programs take insurance, which helps fund the initiative, but no one is turned down for treatment, explains Durand. They also rely on grants and private donations to cover the costs. Carolyn Martin, school nurse at the Pell School in Newport, estimates that 40 percent of their students take advantage of the program. “There’s not much a school nurse can do when students complain of tooth pain. Often the kids miss school because of it. There are barriers that keep parents from being able to get their kids dental treatment, whether it’s a language barrier, a transportation barrier, an insurance barrier. This removes those barriers so kids can stay in school and be healthy.” “Healthy kids can focus on learning while feeling good about themselves,” adds Laurianno. That leads to big, beautiful smiles all around. EBCAP.org -Karen Greco

Sources say the fire was caused by someone throwing a cigarette butt or some other smoking material into the mulch
When the Bristol Yacht Club’s clubhouse building suffered severe damage after a mulch-turned-structural fire on the afternoon of October 21, club executive members never doubted their plans to rebuild. Ruth Souto, Commodore of the BYC, arrived on-scene just as firefighters doused
the exterior flames, joining Chief Steward Chris Healey and other staff and club members in shock at the sight unfolding before them. “It was hard to fathom that our Club was burning. It was surreal,” says Souto, thanking club members for their outpouring of support and offers of assistance.

THE EAST BAY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE & HIGHLANDER CHARTER SCHOOL PROUDLY PRESENT
Fashion Show & Brunch JANUARY 27 | 11:30AM AT The BYC, comprised of 325 members and their families, shares a mutual love and respect for all things water and boating. From sailors and power boaters, to kayakers and paddle boarders, club members are a strong community of volunteers, aged infant to 80s, with varying expertise in the areas of architecture, construction, law, insurance, and beyond, “[suiting] the club well in this particular situation,” adds Souto. Since the night of the fire, the BYC family has rolled up their sleeves and gotten to work on their plans to rebuild. With an estimated timeframe of 18 months, Souto says that the group has continued, daily, to move forward. Though the BYC’s interior was severely compromised as a result of the fire, the structural integrity of the building was miraculously preserved with the exception of the south side of the building. “We have already begun the process of removing the walls, floors, and ceilings,” shares Souto, “We are still running our Frostbite Sailing series as usual, [which] began in November and [will] continue to sail through the spring.” She adds that “sailors are generally adaptable people [and] as the old adage goes, ‘We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.’” On behalf of the club, Souto extends her gratitude to the various first responders, U.S. Sailing, Herreshoff Marine Museum, Barrington Yacht Club, and Bristol County Elks for their assistance and contributions. In particular, she expresses thanks to Healey, whose “calm demeanor was exactly what was needed during the emergency and has continued to carry [the BYC] through this unfortunate time.” Reflecting on 34 years of memories, Souto asserts that “the Bristol Yacht Club is more than a building; we are a community and will work together to overcome this unfortunate circumstance.” BristolYC.com -Caroline Boyle

Blithewold’s Karen Binder navigates winter waters with Bristol’s Frostbite fleet
Executive Director of Blithewold Mansion, Gardens & Arboretum Karen Binder’s office has a magnificent view of the property’s sweeping lawn down to the blue waters of Bristol Harbor. A lifelong sailor, Karen is the co-captain of the Bristol Frostbite fleet, which operates out of the Bristol Yacht Club. Weekly races are held on Bristol Harbor from the November 1 to April 1. Two years ago, she was the first female in
the history of the club to win the overall season. An experienced college sailor from her undergraduate years at St. Mary’s College of Maryland, where she majored in Economics and Political Science, Karen received a master’s in Education from URI. Come summer, Karen sails J22’s out of Newport and Bristol. For more information about the Frostbite fleet, contact Karen at karenbinder@hotmail.com.
I grew up sailing with my father on the Chesapeake Bay. Around the age of seven he would hand over the tiller and say, ‘Pick a point and get us there.’ It was very empowering as a child. In college, I crewed the co-ed A division, which was ranked fourth, and then the last two years I skippered the women’s team, ranked fifth. For young women, sailing develops self-confidence. It is one of the rare sports in which men and women can compete equally. It is physical but also very strategic, using critical thinking skills. Sailing has helped make me a better decision-maker, stronger communicator, and a leader. I prefer winter sailing. It is more peaceful, the air is clean and crisp, and [there are] less distractions. It is just our group on Bristol Harbor with a good sense of camaraderie, battling the elements. We can’t sail if it blows more than 20 mph or if it is less than 20 degrees. I wear a wetsuit, spray top, life jacket, neoprene gloves and booties, wool socks and rubber boots. I will flip over three or four times a season. There are 6 to 9 windward leeward races about 15 minutes in length for each fleet – Lasers and RS Aeros. You have to participate in at least 65 percent of the race dates. Your score is based on your overall performance. We have teens to people in their 60s, with an average of 1-2 women. [Blithewold’s] Marjorie Van Wickle was quite the adventurer. We have a letter saying she kayaked to Newport to board a Navy boat for lunch and then kayaked back to Bristol. I like to think she would be happy that I share her passion for being out on the water.

Staying Warm by Megan Schmit

magine this: Snow falling to pad the ground in white while you are nested in blankets taking refuge from the cold, basking in manufactured warmth. For ages, the ideal winter’s day has been spent gathered inside, either in front of a crackling hearth or cast iron heater, while the snow outside adds a tranquil, dreamy backdrop beyond the window. Today, in the era of faux fireplaces and central heat, we don’t think too much about where that cozy warmth is coming from. For two Little Compton proprietors, it’s their business. The Antique Stove Hospital is a refuge for old-fashioned coal, wood, and gas stoves, ranges, broilers, heaters, and ovens. Father-son duo Emery and Brandon Pineo, self-proclaimed “Paleostoveologist” and “Stove Whisperer” respectively, have been restoring antique stoves since the ‘90s, after Emery tinkered and refurbished his own 20 years prior. The Pineos don’t just clean them up to sell as vintage home accessories; they repair each one to working condition to be used for its original purpose. “They just don’t make stoves like they used to,” says Brandon, pointing out the durability of iron stoves compared to today’s limited warranty, mass-assembled ones. “They were made to last for generations.” He and his father spend hours upon hours, often months, fixing up the stoves brought to them by clients from as far as Alaska and the United Arab Emirates: disassembling, cleaning, welding, caulking, reassembling, painting, installing, and polishing. The finished product is as shiny as day-one, which could have been as long ago as the eighteenth century or as recent as the 1930s – give or take. Brandon and Emery have seen a lot of notable stoves and ranges pass through their shop: a massive Gilded Age Bramhall Dean French range, the currently only known Gardner Chilson Trio Stove from 1844, and the L. Fuller Patent Step Stove, among the earliest kitchen cooking stoves from 1837 with a “summer cooker” to limit heat production in the home while cooking. However, one of the most memorable dated from at
least the 1680s, and was “probably the oldest stove in the New World,” says Brandon, which his father found for just $100 at a Tiverton yard sale. The shop itself is a rotating treasure trove: There are between 300 and 400 stoves kept in stock, most filling the barn out back and others spilling into the yard. Tools and spare parts dominate entire rows of shelves inside, and a blanket of black sand marks a workspace dedicated to sanding metal. Attached to their workshop is their showroom, which boasts even more specimens of heaters and stoves, but also quirky items like toy stoves, travelling ranges, decorated flue hole covers, and even a vintage fridge. In the Hospital’s lifetime, the Pineos have doctored around 5,000 stoves, rebuilding between 100 and 150 per year. Most are from clients looking for a practical way to heat their house without electricity, or for a period-appropriate appliance to match their historic home. Some are abandoned at their shop, or salvaged. While the Pineos acknowledge the nostalgia and aesthetic of antique stoves, they are insistent on putting practicality first. Yes, there may be something alluring about the gleam of a freshly polished Glenwood Wood Parlor, but people should also appreciate how it heats a home like it did so many generations ago - and will continue to do. After all, in the middle of winter, there’s nothing quite like feeling cozy and warm.
STOVE ENCYCLOPEDIA
The Pineos share some of the most common stoves they see, and what makes them so special. Barstow Made in Providence Produced from c.1844-1900 Had the largest foundry in New England, producing stoves for itself and other makers, until it was absorbed by the Leonard & Baker Company. Glenwood Made in Taunton, MA Produced from c.1905-1930s The most popular stove in New England at the time, made in models C, E, and K, each going up in price point respectively, with C being the most affordable full-size range available. Leonard & Baker Made in Taunton, MA Produced from c.1905-c.1934 This popular stove came in several sizes, but with similar foolproof construction and design; the most commonly found models from this brand are the Fairmounts, which were sold under many different names. Premier Made in Reading, MA Produced from c.1920s-c.1939 Very similar to Leonard & Baker stoves, with parts interchangeable between the two. Since they came later in the stove timeline, they are common and usually in good condition. Spicer & Peckham Made in Providence Produced from c.1845-c.1902 Won an award for finest range design at the 1893 World’s Fair, which prompted a rare and highly coveted commemorative range produced until 1900. According to the Pineos, Spicers are known as very fine stoves for their ornamentation and casting accuracy.

Winter
Remember that frosty beer on a swelteringly hot day? A hot mug of coffee or hot chocolate on a freezing cold afternoon is the equinox equivalent. Get yours to go, cup your hands around the warmth, and revel in the steam as you take a wintertime stroll.

With the flip of the calendar page, there’s no denying that winter is here. Whether you’re Team Winter or not, we’ve talked to some locals and assembled a list that will have you embracing the season or at least grinning while you bear it from the first snowfall to the last. Come on, doesn’t the first glimpse of swirling flurries cause your heart to stir just a little bit? Remember the days of being a kid and the excitement of a potential day off from school (Operation: Snowball, anyone?). Sure, as adults, dealing with the logistics of a snowy day can be a drag, so be prepared as best you can and you’ll be able to roll with the squalls a bit better.

BEFORE IT SNOWS Stock Up In addition to milk, bread, and eggs, why not add hot chocolate mix and cookie dough to your list? Or opt for healthier but still hygge and simmer apple cider or roast root vegetables. The soothing sweet aroma and flavors may warm your heart to the forecast. TIP: Stock up on non-perishable canned goods like soup and nut butters, bottles of water, and, of course, batteries. Aim to keep devices fully charged as much as possible. Be in the Know Back up that robocall by signing up for text alerts from the Rhode Island Broadcasters Association. This service now includes parking ban information. RIBroadcasters.com TIP: Special Needs Registry. If you take medication or use a medical treatment on a regular basis, be sure you have what you need to care for yourself for at least three days. If you use life support systems such as oxygen, respirator, ventilator, dialysis, pacemaker, or are insulin dependent, be sure to enroll in the Rhode Island Special Needs Registry. This notification allows first responders additional time to consider how to best respond to the incident. Learn more at Health.RI.gov Snow Ready Most people over 40 years old shouldn’t be shoveling at all, especially when snow is heavy on those above-freezing days. Before the white stuff comes down, do your best to line up someone to shovel for you, whether it’s a group of teens, a landscaper, or that neighbor with a plow (who might be willing to help in exchange for fresh-baked cookies). TIP: Keep cash on-hand to pay for shoveling services.

When night falls earlier than your evening commute, it’s difficult to resist the urge to get comfortable as soon as you arrive home (pajamas by 7pm, anyone?). Why fight it? Indulge in hygge, the Danish concept of reveling in all things cozy. The Greenery in Warren has a variety of goods just right for orchestrating contentment on a long winter’s night. Owner Bridget Tierney stocks the shop with a unique assortment of Fair Trade gifts both local and global; things like candles, notepads, and soaps. The Greenery is also an independent florist, so the shop is always warm and filled with leafy plants of all sizes and fresh flowers. Find the shop on Water Street: the exterior is painted a spring green and there’s generally an open flag flying signaling chilly shoppers to step inside.

NEW YEAR
treat to have a winter pedi at a salon, not a strip mall. A little research led me to Bella Hair & Nails on Maple Avenue in Barrington for a spa pedicure. Bella’s owner, Sara Viveiros, opened the salon a year and a half ago, and it’s obvious that this venture is a dream come true by her welcoming and enthusiastic demeanor. Viveiros has outfitted the sunny space with the slightly retro color scheme of baby blue and black. The walls are embellished with word art and charming silhouettes of dainty hands and ladies. There are pedicure and hair stations, magazines and coffee, and a panorama of nail polish bottles at the ready. On a cold winter’s day, it felt wonderful to place my dry feet into the heated whirlpool of the foot bath for a soak. Viveiros clipped, filed, and buffed my nails and feet, before prepping my nails for the final coat of color. I decided on a shiny metallic silver nail polish and drove home wearing flip-flops with the heat blasting. And while Viveiros’ handiwork on my tootsies won’t be revealed to the general public, my feet are no longer snagging on the cable knit blanket while I binge watch The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on the couch.

Keep Warm In This
My everyday look is a bit more coastal chic, which is unavoidable in Newport. White cotton everything for summer and Barbour and boots for all other seasons. For going out and meeting with clients, I dress up in a way I think is artful yet classic: crisp white shirts, pencil skirts, and statement dresses. I still like wearing heels and having my hair blown out even if the day was spent in foul weather trying to get an outdoor installation finished. Having my art and home store in Newport has been a natural progression of my career in art and lifestyle. Inside, you will find original art and unique objects for the well-curated home. Clients come in for a breath of fresh air and inspiration and return over and over as it’s always changing. I bring in pieces or brands that you won’t find at every other store in Newport or New England for that matter. I feel my clients trust that I am offering quality items I know and love and it won’t be something they will find down the street from their homes, whether here or elsewhere. My storefront and windows are an explosion of love and inspiration from the inside of my shop (or head!) and projecting to the public. The barn-red color of the building paired with it being the shaded side of the street makes the windows almost always have a glare and I wanted something you could see from a block away without it being off putting. This spring, we are installing a live webcam art piece for thousands of people that stop and take selfies. It’s really shocking how many people stop to take a photo. My home is quite similar to the store, but with about 90 percent less stuff. I use all the same wall colors and there’s definitely the same feel as far as my sense of style goes. My art is a bit more contemporary and I definitely have more art, design, and foodie coffee table books at my house than the store, if that’s even possible.

HOMESTYLE

Modern Heirloom Clever updates defy the age of O&G Studio co-founder Sara Ossana’s historic farmhouse the 1950s and knew instantly this was the place for them. “The exterior roofline is very appealing from the front façade,” begins Ossana. “The house has presence without being overscaled for the neighborhood. It had good bones and we liked that not much had been done with it; it has beautiful woodwork and floors throughout, as well as nice large windows and is set back from the main road providing some privacy.” Through the years, the couple has made some structural changes to the property, with Ossana doing the design work herself. “I wanted to be able to have my children
in the kitchen with me while I made them breakfast or dinner and spend as much quality time together as possible as they grow older. We prioritized having an eatin kitchen and expanding the circulation of the home, again putting family first.” Working with Innovative Construction out of Tiverton, the wall of a neglected porch was knocked down and a new foundation was poured, expanding the footprint about six feet out. “Windows were added, allowing light to spill in from the morning into the evening,” adds Ossana. Embracing color, pattern, and texture are trademarks of Ossana’s style, which she describes as eclectic and personal. She notes that growing up in the desert of the Southwest

In the sun-filled home of Sara Ossana and family, you’ll find furnishings and architectural elements with lines as clean as a Windsor chair. After all, Ossana is the O in O&G Studio, the company she co-founded with friend Jonathan Glatt that produces handcrafted furniture, including that trademark spindled chair. Like the pieces wrought by O&G, Ossana’s Warren home is a fresh Contemporary spin on Early American design. Ossana, her husband Matthew, and their two children have made a 1906 farmhouse their home for nearly 10 years. The couple had been seeking an older home built before

Maker Space “There is an amazing creative community in Rhode Island, so this inspires me to surround myself with amazing objects and celebrate craft, like the beautiful bags I have in my entry mudroom area by Lotuff Leather: made to last, beautiful, and inspiring.” plays strongly in her aesthetic, along with influences from Japan and Mexico. “I love to design everything from spaces, theater sets, objects, and furniture. My father was a furniture maker and excellent finish-carpenter, so he passed his love on to me for that sort of thing. I love to paint, take photographs, and spend time with my children and family, and travel,” Ossana explains. “I have been developing this style my entire life.”

The Last Straw Local communities are starting to reduce their plastic, one straw at a time It’s easy to take the impact of plastic straws for granted, but imagine if every straw you have ever used suddenly appeared in your living room. According to National Geographic, eight million tons of plastic trash makes its way into the ocean every year. This sobering statistic, not to mention heartbreaking photos of the direct and often fatal impact of plastic waste on marine life, is a call to action that local restaurants, cafes, and businesses are responding to by trying to get away from wasteful plastic products. The most visible mascot of this green movement is the humble straw.
The organization Strawless Newport is now leading the charge on Aquidneck Island. Businesses like The Power of Juice in Middletown have ditched the ubiquitous plastic tube for reusable glass straws that customers can purchase and – get this – use with every beverage they’ll ever need a straw for. Some businesses have considered selling metal varieties, while others are switching to more eco-friendly paper options. Think of it as one small sip for you, one giant slurp for Rhode Island’s oceans. It’s all for the good of the planet, after all, and that doesn’t suck. To learn more about the movement, visit StrawlessNewport.org –Tony Pacitti

Everybody Loves Ramen Sakuratani Ramen & Izakaya introduces Japanese small plates to the East Bay
Whole Squid
child, you can’t be helped. The soda itself, you ask? Oh yeah, it’s delicious, less sweet than an American soda and flaunting unusual flavors. I went with lychee, and it was wonderful. The restaurant’s bones are definitely American rather than Japanese, with large booths, large aisles, and large TVs. What really ties the room together is the giant custom mural along the entirety of the wall. It depicts a woman taking in the aroma of a fresh bowl of ramen, the noodles spilling out into an ocean and becoming waves engulfing a house. I didn’t find my Tonkotsu Ramen ($16) to be a tsunami of flavor, but this is no slight. This pork ramen was far gentler than that. Silky and balanced as a base, it crackled with ginger, which is a welcome different take to my other go-to RI ramens. I’m happy to report I won’t always have to drive to Providence for Ramen any longer. Now to the Izakaya, which is roughly translated as “pub.” Izakaya is meant to be a slow, boozy experience in its native environment. Instead, we were there at 4pm on the nose with a small child rattling around the marble in my

empty soda. I liked the pace of the meal, with the little Izakaya dishes coming out in deliberate waves, so that everything was hot and there wasn’t much waiting, and the ramen came at the end as the main dish. Izakaya is even more fun with friends. Our small party ordered the Pork Belly Buns, Torimune, Nasu, Aspara, Enoki Bacon Maki, Gyu Kushi with Salt, and a house salad. Most dishes are around $3 to $4, and are “yakitori” – skewered and grilled. It’s not about complexity here, but instead a parade of different little snacks enjoyed over time. The Gyu Kushi, for instance, is just a sliced salted skirt steak, the Torimune just a sliced grilled chicken breast. The Enoki Bacon Maki is just hundreds of fine enoki mushrooms wrapped in bacon, and that’s just perfect. There are distinct Japanese flavors everywhere, some more striking, like the bonito flakes atop the asparagus tips. Last was a sweet spring soll, filled with red bean cheese, and the matcha ice cream. The

In my book, the first time you eat something entirely new – and delicious – is far more compelling than an endless search for the best of something. So I was delighted to see some new life in Bristol’s restaurant scene with Sakuratani. I was more excited still that it was Ramen and Izakaya. Finally, I was over the moon to see a Japanese soda called Ramune on the menu. Yes, it’s just soda. In Japan, Ramune is as recognizable as a can of Coca-Cola, but to anyone new to it, the bottle is a mixture of a sculpture and a puzzle. Opening this little bottle was one of the highlights of my weekend. It’s my second-ever bottle, and I can’t do the process justice, but the top of the bottle becomes an opener, which you drive down through a hole in the cap, dislodging a glass marble. It’s a superfluous joy. The ball is then trapped in a compartment in the bottleneck, rolling delightfully at every sip and collecting bubbles. If you don’t enjoy this process like a

spring roll was the dessert equivalent of an Americanized sushi roll: half Japanese, with the red bean, and half American, with something like cream cheese. The matcha ice cream goes down like a treat, thanks to the fact that the Japanese make the world’s best small spoons. Not that we got to use the spoon much for the ice cream; our child has a taste for new flavors.

Sydney Comes to Portsmouth The Australian-inspired cafe is bringing the flavors from down under to the East Bay The Australian-inspired cafe is bringing the flavors from down under to the East Bay “Sydney is where Australian inspiration meets local ingredients and a passion for quality, and we can’t wait to begin serving our new neighbors,” remarks Jordan Beslago, managing member of Sydney. The original cafe is already a favorite destination in downtown Providence, and in mid-January, a second location will open in Cranston, as well as a third in Portsmouth.
and loose tea menu, serve breakfast and lunch, and offer favorites like avocado toast and the signature roasted broccoli sandwich. In addition, Sydney will be introducing a new series of made-to-order smoothie bowls, plant-based noodles, and new grab-and-go items, including a larger selection of vegan and gluten-free pastries. By springtime, the kitchen also plans to incorporate a limited dinner menu with beer.
Sydney Portsmouth is set in an Australian, country-style home. The coastal-modern aesthetic features white marble, wide-plank hardwood flooring, and designer furniture. The eatery will offer large communal tables and ample outdoor seating. Much like the original location, Sydney Portsmouth will have a full espresso bar
This enhanced footprint will allow Sydney’s catering business to serve a much larger area and roll out improved service options, such as mobile ordering. The catering menu features breakfast, lunch, beverages, and premium baked goods. Portsmouth, SydneyPVD.com. – Courtney Dell’Agnese

Bootblack in Yankee Magazine If you’re an entrepreneur in New England, you know you’ve “made it” when you get applause in Yankee Magazine. The hallowed publication has shaped northeastern culture for 84 years, and its most recent praise fell upon a Rhode Island newcomer, Bootblack Brand. The Editors’ Food Choice Awards are relatively new – Yankee started bestowing them only six years ago – and they recognize a wide range of “fine artisan New England products.” This year’s winning companies included Tandem Coffee in Maine, Somerville Chocolate in Massachusetts, and Bootblack, the cocktail-mixing mavens of the Ocean State. Created by husband-and-wife team Paul Kubiski and Jackie Duhamel, Bootblack puts special cocktail syrups in handsome bottles, such as the Ginger Cardamom Lime and the Classic Citrus Tonic. The winning mixture was Cranberry Jalapeño and Lime, which can be used for cocktails or carbonated sodas. Bootblack was an early “graduate” of the Hope & Main incubator program in Warren, and bottles and kits are now available across the region. BootblackBrand.com –Robert Isenberg

IN THE KITCHEN
by Courtney Dell’Agnese
Cross-Pollination Chef Ryan Miller talks about The Beehive Cafe, the language of food, and that time he helped Hurricane Katrina victims What’s different about The Beehive from other kitchens you’ve been in? I’ve worked in a lot of kitchens where the food was most important, but in this kitchen I’m trying to make the culture of the kitchen just as important, so our philosophy of inclusion comes through in the food. We’re building a language together, both visually and verbally, so that it’s ours, not just mine. Here, it’s not about Chef Ryan Miller, it’s about us at The Beehive. We did this; we put these plates up together, it’s a group effort. There are a lot of restaurants you go to and the food is fabulous, but you don’t feel that connection or the love.
What first got you into cooking? I’m originally from southern California and got into cooking because I was already in the arts. I owned an art gallery and played in a
44
The Bay • January 2019
band, so to me food and music were kind of the same thing. I really enjoyed the tradesmen aspect and using my hands, and we were really blessed in California, as we are in Rhode Island, with accessibility to local product, so it made cooking exciting because it was always evolving. Then in 2005, I found myself working with relief organizations in New Orleans just after Hurricane Katrina. I got the opportunity to cook with some local men and women who just lived through a hurricane, but when you sit down at a table, everybody’s equal. And when you have good food, all those daily problems we have melt away. As a cook, to provide that small slice of time for people to just sit down and enjoy good, thoughtful food was an experience that really solidified my desire to provide that kind of moment for people.
Anything else new coming up? We are looking forward to starting Supper with Friends that bring friends from the community to cook Sunday suppers. So your neighbors can come in and cook a big Italian style pasta dinner. Or we’ll partner with other restaurants and do prefix meals about once a month. This not only involves more of the community, but makes it fun for us, too. We love those kinds of challenges.

Chef Ryan Miller has done it all. He’s worked in kitchens from Los Angeles to Seattle, Missouri to New Orleans. He’s worked in fine dining, greasy spoons, and everything in between. Now Miller is making his mark at The Beehive Cafe, located on the waterfront near Independence Park in Bristol. Throughout his travels, Miller’s cooking philosophy has remained the same: Keep things simple, no bells and whistles, and cook from the heart. For Miller, it’s not just about the food; it’s about how The Beehive can make a positive impact on the surrounding community.
You recently put out a new menu. We work through a lot of things in our daily specials. We think about things we love eating and then try to take it to that next level. I’m also real concerned about sourcing. We just put a dedicated fish dish on the menu, but first I had to make sure I could source that fish from a sustainable local source from waters that aren’t being overfished or using disreputable fishing practices. And there’s a little bit of playfulness with what can we do logistically in the kitchen. We don’t have actual fire, we don’t use any fryers, we use very little refined sugars, and we try to use as much natural, whole, organic product as we can. I want to make sure what we’re doing has an impact on the community, which is a huge thing for food in general.

BLOOD DRIVE In Celebration of Rachael Wilmarth
Rachael Wilmarth, a kind, generous and loving child, was just 7 years old when diagnosed with leukemia. Thanks to the hard work of her medical team, the support of her family, and the blood transfusions made possible by Rhode Islanders who were willing to donate, we are happy to report she has been in remission for 7 months! Each time you give blood, you potentially save up to three lives. One of those lives was Rachael’s. Rachael and her family are forever grateful for the help and support she received. They want to raise awareness for others. Please support their efforts – and help save the life of the next child like Rachael – by giving blood.
