he summers of my childhood were filled with delicious memories, from pick-yourown blueberry adventures to toasting marshmallows around a campfire. Our food issue captures a bit of this nostalgia (there’s a new s’more in town) and also highlights local restaurants heating up the South Shore’s dining scene. Farmers’ markets are bursting with fresh produce at this time of year, and there are many places where families can go to fill a bucket with local blueberries. Photographer Jack Foley and writer Courtney Garvey made a trip over to Tree-Berry Farm in Scituate to experience this summertime tradition firsthand. We also reached out to blogger-turned-cookbook author Kate Bowler, who contributed a few of her favorite 4th of July recipes. Her New England Clambake menu is perfect for a casual seaside celebration—no shoes required. Photographer Derrick Zellmann captured the magic of a bucolic sea-to-table dinner with the founders of Duxbury Saltworks. Freelance writer Kelly Chase’s article, “Worth Her Salt,” reveals how this local company produces sea salt from the waters of Duxbury Bay and is making it available to restaurants and consumers. When it comes to eating well at home, it helps if you have a great kitchen. The article “Culinary Inspiration” highlights expert tips for updating a kitchen, from modest makeovers to over-the-top dream designs. And if you’re a foodie, you won’t want to miss the article “Hot Eats,” which takes a look inside several exciting new South Shore restaurants (fans of taco Tuesdays are in luck). This issue also includes a story about Paragon Carousel, a recovery guide for runners and an amazing photo essay by photographer Timothy Mollen, whose dramatic image of Egypt Beach is featured on our cover. South Shore Home, Life & Style is gearing up for an exciting summer, so be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram. Enjoy!

No-Mess S’mores

Where there are campfires, there will be be s’mores. The combination of a freshly toasted marshmallow and a piece of chocolate sandwiched between two graham crackers is a classic summertime treat. Thanks to the innovation of a pair of South Shore moms, SmoreCups now offers a less messy but equally delicious alternative. Kristine Uniacke was camping in Plymouth with her longtime friend, Jill Carlson, when the duo started imagining ways they could avoid the usual sticky finger situation. The solution, they felt, was to create a graham cracker cup that was already filled with chocolate that could be easily topped with a freshly toasted marshmallow. “Jill thought the graham crackers needed to have sides and I thought the chocolate needed to be part of the cracker,” says Uniacke. “The next day we got in my kitchen in Plympton and started working on the recipe.” After about 3 months and a lot of taste testing, the duo found a local baker to produce their invention. SmoreCups officially launched in August

Water With a Heart Feeling hot and parched? Everybody Water is here to help. Launched in the fall of 2018 by Cohasset residents Kimberly Reilly and Megan Hayes, the local company produces single-serving water packaged in sustainably produced paperboard boxes (which cuts down on the amount of plastic going into landfills). The company donates three percent of their gross sales to the global water charity Water1st.org, which brings clean water to communities around the world by installing sinks, showers and toilets right in family homes. The two friends have traveled with members of the nonprofit to Honduras and Bangladesh to see how the funds are directly improving the lives of countless people. “One fifth of the population in the world doesn’t have access to clean water,” says Hayes. “We knew we wanted to be part of the solution.” This summer, Everybody Water is the official Greening Partner for the Levitate Music and Arts Festival (July 12-14), completely eliminating plastic water bottle usage at the festival by sponsoring water refilling stations and providing concertgoers with fully recyclable, ecofriendly packaged water all weekend

Cider for Sea Turtles

Raise your glass for the environment By Laura DeSisto

Each winter, when the sea temperature drops, hundreds of cold-stunned sea turtles become stranded on local beaches. The lucky ones are rescued by Mass Audubon volunteers and sent to the New England Aquarium’s Animal Care Center in Quincy where they are carefully restored to health.

Let History Ring Casting A New Ship’s Bell for Mayflower Any seafaring ship must have a proper bell, and Plimoth Plantation’s most well-known exhibit – the historic wooden ship Mayflower – needs hers replaced. The living history museum’s full-scale reproduction of the ship that brought the Pilgrims to Massachusetts in 1620 will sail into the national spotlight in spring 2020 following a three-year, multi-milliondollar restoration. Maritime lore has it that a ship’s bell is its very soul, so ensuring that the second Mayflower sails into the future with a bell that is worthy of the inspiring stories she tells is no small detail. When the historic square-rigger first arrived in Plymouth Harbor in 1957 after a transatlantic journey, she featured a bell cast in 1638 that is now on display for visitors to see at Plimoth Plantation. Donated to Project Mayflower by the people of Brixham, England, where the ship was built, the bell was likely cast in Essex, England by Miles Graye, a well-known bell founder of the period. Beyond superstition, bells play an essential role in organizing time at sea. “Setting the watch” is the process of dividing the

Filling Empty Bowls With Hope By Jennifer H. McInerney Photography by Jack Foley For the past four years, art students from several local high schools have collaborated on a charitable initiative known as Empty Bowls of the South Shore. The group’s annual fundraiser, hosted at Hanover High School back in May, raised awareness and funds for food pantries in the region. “This year, 200 students created 300 ceramic bowls to support our local food pantries,” says Jan Curley, who teaches 3-D art, ceramics and sculpture at Hanover High School. “The event really has a visual impact, with hundreds of empty bowls lined up representing the extent of widespread hunger.” Guests who made a donation of $20 were invited to select a handmade bowl to bring home and were served a steaming bowl of homemade soup. The colorful bowls were handcrafted by students in grades nine through 12 from Braintree High School, Derby Academy, Hanover High School, Hingham High School, Hull High School and Marshfield High School. Several local potters also took part by contributing pieces to be auctioned off. Empty Bowls of the South Shore raises between $700 to $1,200 dollars for local food pantries annually. Emily Burbank, a graduating senior from Hingham High School who has participated for the past two years, contributed three bowls to this year’s event. “Each of these bowls has meaning,” says Burbank. “It’s not just about making something pretty. We’re all coming together to make a difference.”

Directorial Debut Filmed in Quincy and starring a cast of local comedians, “Sweeney Killing Sweeney” is a hometown favorite. By Maria Allen Photography by Kjeld Mahoney Last August, Lisa Aimola took a couple weeks off from her job as the director of communications for the City of Quincy to fulfill a lifelong dream of directing her first feature-length film. “Sweeney Killing Sweeney” is a gritty, fantastical comedy whose main character is Boston stand-up comedian Steve Sweeney. The film premiered to an oversold crowd at the Somerville Theatre in September 2018 and was named Best Comedy at the 2018 Boston Comedy Festival. For Aimola, getting the opportunity to direct the film was like having the stars align. Aimola first met Sweeney by chance, nine years ago, while filming a scene for a 48-hour film contest. She and friend Sorboni Banerjee, a former Boston news anchor, Comedian, Steve Sweeney

were out at Squantum Point Park in Quincy when they realized that the scene they were working on had a dog in it—and they didn’t have a dog with them. Who should come along at that very moment, but Quincy resident Steve Sweeney, walking his dog.

SUMMER 2019 | SOUTH SHORE - HOME, LIFE & STYLE

“Steve volunteered to help us that day. Who knew we would be working together all these years later,” says Aimola. For her directorial debut, Aimola teamed up with scriptwriter Bill Braudis, producer Michael King and fellow Quincy residents Kris Meyer, the film’s executive producer (who co-produced “Stuck on You” and “Fever Pitch”), and assistant director Mark Carey. Filming began in August 2017 and post-production was completed in 2018. Scenes were shot at numerous Boston locales, including several in Aimola’s hometown. Viewers will recognize the Producer, Michael King

Actor, Sherryn Lynne

Adams Shore and Squantum neighborhoods as well as Quincy Center and the pier at Squantum Point Park. In the movie, the “character king” gets an opportunity to do a national cable show in Los Angeles, but he must drop his portrayals of colorful Boston characters in order to do so. When Sweeney decides to switch up his act, his characters “come to life” and seek their revenge. Several other Boston comedy legends, including Tony V, Frank Santorelli and Jonathan Katz, Steven Wright, Lenny Clare, Nick DiPaolo and Bobby Slaton also make appearances in the film. “We laughed every day that we were filming,” says Aimola. “The theme of the film is never giving up on your dreams

and being proud of where you came from,” says Aimola, who hopes her own mid-career pivot will be inspiring to others. So, what’s her advice to people who want to make movies? “I would tell them to pick up a camera, write a story and give it a try.” “Sweeney Killing Sweeney” is now available on iTunes and Amazon Prime Video.

Millbrook Station Reimagined By Moira McCarthy Photography by Matt Mulligan It was a warm summer afternoon four years ago when local developer and longtime Duxbury resident Michael Juliano was sitting outside the iconic FarFar’s Danish Ice Cream Shop sipping on a frappe when a crazy idea popped into his head. “What a shame,” Juliano thought, gazing across the street at buildings that had been in disrepair ever since he moved to town 27 years earlier. Once the site of the Millbrook Railroad Station, the time had come for somebody to breathe new life into the historic neighborhood. “I thought to myself, maybe I’m that person,” says Juliano. Fast forward three years and the view from FarFar’s is quite different. Millbrook Station has been reawakened with a mix of restored structures and new buildings. It is an inviting hamlet within a hamlet, occupied by a collection of chic boutiques, popular restaurants and a few small business tenants. Juliano, who once vowed never to embark on a development in his own town (“We all need some space,” he explains.) could not be happier with the results. “This was personal for me,” says Juliano. “I wanted to do what the location called for.”

SUMMER 2019 | SOUTH SHORE - HOME, LIFE & STYLE

A more manageable and simplified lifestyle within reach. I’m proud to be a second generation Realtor. I grew up watching my mother work with thousands of clients on the South Shore. When I bought the business from her in 1987, the values that she had instilled in me were inextricable from how I would approach real estate over the next 30 years. Throughout her career, she helped people downsize from their family homes into a more manageable and simplified lifestyle. I saw her do this time and time again, yet when it came for her to downsize - she was so overwhelmed with the process that she was unable to execute on any of the steps she encouraged her clients to take. Until you embark on this process with a loved one - you truly don’t understand the emotional magnitude of this kind of move.

"Gail has helped enormously with our difficult transition from a 3090 sq. ft. home to a 1610 sq ft condo. She has been extremely professional, drawing on her years of experience in the field, and made excellent suggestions for resources. We couldn't be happier that we used Gail and her fantastic team!" — Michael and Susan Sardina

It was after this experience that I decided to start a company that specifically focusses on helping people during this phase of their lives. I called the company: Transitions for Rightsizers. I was determined to make that process as seamless and effortless as possible for people like my mother who was still fiercely independent at the time of her move. 20 years later - Transitions has worked with hundreds of clients. We begin with a needs assessment where we evaluate what your ideal next steps are and what preparation is needed to sell your home. Our clients have access to our exclusive vendor list that offer services at reduced rates specifically for Transitions. Most importantly, our service is 100% free. We only get paid through the sale of your home. Due to our affiliation with Compass - clients benefit from cutting edge marketing and technology that has propelled Compass to be the number one independent real estate brokerage in the country. Our homes spend less days on the market then the industry average and clients have access to our exclusive concierge program that allows you to make cosmetic changes pre sale with zero upfront cost! This is huge help for all sellers - especially rightsizers! As my mother would say “You need the right manager for a successful downsize.” That is what our purpose is - to carefully and caringly manage your rightsizing. I would be honored for the opportunity to work with you or your loved ones. Warm regards,

GAIL BELL GROUP IS A TEAM OF REAL ESTATE AGENTS AFFILIATED WITH COMPASS, A LICENSED REAL ESTATE BROKER AND ABIDES BY EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY LAWS.

Founded in 1976, the band’s debut album produced the hits “Feels Like The First Time,” “Cold As Ice” and “Long, Long Way From Home.” The album Double Vision followed, as did a string of hits like “Urgent,” “Juke Box Hero” and “Waiting For A Girl Like You.” Those songs helped give Foreigner’s next album, 4, its impressive run at #1 on the Billboard chart. At the zenith of 80’s sound, Foreigner’s fifth album, Agent Provocateur, gave the world the incredible #1 global hit,” I Want To Know What Love Is.” This

musical milestone followed the record-breaking song “Waiting For A Girl Like You.” Doors open at 7 p.m., show at 8 p.m. South Shore Music Circus, 130 Sohier St., Cohasset, 781-383-9850, themusiccircus.org

AUGUST 31 Spire Irish Festival featuring the John Doyle Trio

South Shore Music Circus presents Squeeze. The band formed in 1973, shortly after Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook had begun their songwriting partnership, brought together by an ad in a sweetshop window. By 1977 they had made their recording debut and enjoyed a string of hits which lasted until 1982, the maturity of their songs outliving their initial burst of chart activity on the back of New Wave. Over the years there have been solo careers and occasional separations, but the Ivor Novello Award-winning songwriting duo Chris and Glenn reunited ten years ago to relaunch Squeeze and have been touring, writing and recording together since. Doors open at 7 p.m., show at 8 p.m. South Shore Music Circus, 7:30 p.m. 130 Sohier St., Cohasset, 781-383-9850, themusiccircus.org

The Spire Center in Plymouth is hosting an Irish festival featuring the John Doyle Trio with Mick and Oisin McAuley. The Lindsays open the show at 7 p.m. Name many of the most notable recordings and/or performers in Irish music and it’s a fair bet that John Doyle had something to do with them. Liz Carroll; Eileen Ivers; Karan Casey; Solas; Michael Black; Mary Black; the trio of McCusker, McGoldrick and Doyle; The Teetotalers (Martin Hayes, Kevin Crawford, John Doyle); and now Usher’s Island (Andy Irvine, Donald Lunny, Mike McGoldrick, Paddy Glackin and John Doyle)—a showcase of some of the greatest names in Irish music. 25 1/2 Court St., Plymouth, 508-746-4488 spirecenter.org

Expert kitchen remodeling tips for every budget By Maria Allen he kitchen is the heart of most homes. It is the room where we prepare our daily meals, pack lunches for the kids and entertain our family and friends. After a while, even the most well-designed kitchens can begin to appear worn and outdated. While the idea of remodeling may seem daunting, giving your kitchen a facelift can be a worthwhile investment, especially if you’re looking to increase your home’s resale value. With so many options to choose from, we asked local industry experts to share a few of their top tips for updating kitchens, from modest makeovers to dreamy redesigns.

Not everyone has the budget for a complete kitchen remodel. Here are some ways to breathe new life into your kitchen on a budget.

Install a Backsplash “One of the most cost effective ways to update a kitchen without breaking the bank is to add or change out the backsplash. A backsplash really does have a significant impact on the overall look and feel of a kitchen. Depending on the tile selected and the size of the kitchen, a project such as this could be done for under $1,000.” — Julie Ryan, Classic Tile & Stone

Renovisions

Swap out the Hardware “Hardware is jewelry for your kitchen. Pick pieces that suit your style. Many people are opting for simple details—long pulls on the drawers and doors instead of mixing knobs with pulls.” — Jennifer Durfee, Topnotch Design Studio

Create A Mood With Light “Good lighting is key especially when you’re spending so much time in a space. LED under-cabinet lights, recessed ceiling lights and pendant fixtures that operate on dimmer switches create options for mood lighting, work lighting and everything in between. New windows, installed in just the right places, add natural light.” — Cathy Follett, Renovisions

Improve Cabinet Functionality “Simple storage updates can make life easier. Rollout shelves beneath a sink cabinet provide easier access to cleaning products. Dish pegs in drawers adjacent to a dishwater are good in kitchens with

limited upper storage. Pull-out columns for spices and oils keep cabinets organized and everything visible.” — Angelique V. Meader, Good Life New England

Update Your Appliances “I believe appliances are the most important part of a kitchen. You could have the most efficient layout, beautiful cabinets and counters, but without appliances that work best for your lifestyle, your kitchen will not function for you. Not everyone can purchase all new appliances. Dishwashers are typically 24 inches wide so this is an appliance that can be switched out at any point. The refrigerator is the appliance that is most often used throughout the day. It should house your food in a way that will suit you the best.” — Jennifer Durfee, Topnotch Design Studio

If you have a bigger budget, the sky is the limit when it comes to bringing your dream kitchen to life.

We fabricate and install all of our cabinetry and can create custom door profiles and moldings specific to each customer. We stand behind our products and service what we install. No project is too big or too small. We’ve been hired to build kitchen islands and entertainment centers and have also done expansive kitchen projects.” — Jay Ellis, Ellis Cabinet & Millwork

Think Outside the Box “In order to create a dreamy redesign, you must start Good Life New England

with the layout. Assisting my clients in visualizing how their space can transform is extremely rewarding. Opening up the space to provide an open concept and a functioning entertaining space is a must. In some cases, this will require a steel beam or multiple steel beams.” — Michelle Flynn, South Shore Design

Hire a Designer “Investing in good design from the start is perhaps the single most important thing you can do. The difference is in the details and a good designer should not only be able to help with thoughtful cabinet features, but also guide the blending of materials and choreograph the complex dance of a kitchen remodel. The goal is to make the experience collaborative and fun.” — Angelique V. Meader, Good Life New England

“The options available in tile and stone today run the gamut. From the simplicity and classic look of a subway tile to the intricate patterns that can be found in mosaics, tile is not just functional but also plays an important role in the overall aesthetic of the space.” — Julie Ryan, Classic Tile & Stone

Splurge on Chef-Grade Appliances “Choose luxury appliance brands such as Wolf and Sub-Zero. Not only do these higher-end appliances look amazing, they also provide a next-level experience for the home chef.” — Michelle Flynn, South Shore Design

Smart Storage Solutions “Having an open floor plan allows for additional island cabinets to accommodate smart storage and better functionality when prepping meals, sitting Good Life New England

The perfect entertaining menu for casual summer celebrations By Kate Bowler

SUMMER 2019 | SOUTH SHORE - HOME, LIFE & STYLE

hen I set out to write my cookbook, “New England Invite: Fresh Feasts to Savor the Seasons,” I was determined to bring to life the things that I cherish most about entertaining throughout the year. Living on the South Shore, it’s no surprise that the book contains a substantial summer menu lineup. New England summers were made for entertaining. Each warm weekend gets me one step closer to the opening of the vibrant local farmer’s markets where I gather my ingredients. I wait patiently for the fields to open at Tree-Berry Farm in Scituate, where I fill coffeetin pails to the brim with blueberries destined for desserts and cocktail syrups. I relish spending warm sun-kissed days on the beach and long, cool summer nights entertaining family and friends on the patio. My favorite summer menu (perfect for Fourth of July celebrations) is inspired by the South Shore’s local seafood and produce: a New England clambake. Whenever we prepare a one-pot clambake, it becomes a communal cooking experience. Everyone gathers around the large pot to help load in the corn, lobsters and cheesecloth—bundled shellfish. Pulling the steamer basket out at the end of the cooking is like a grand-finale; a final unveiling of our feast before we settle down to start cracking open shells and dipping mussels into the flavorful broth. The meal is rich and savory, full of drawn butter and steamy potatoes. I like to serve it with a bright refreshing cocktail and a sweet dessert made with fresh-picked local berries. It’s casual dining at its finest and an experience worthy of everyone’s summer bucket list.

Recipes adapted from “New England Invite: Fresh Feasts to Savor the Seasons” by Kate Bowler, Globe Pequot Press - 2018

New England Clambake SERVES 6–8 INGREDIENTS

1 yellow onion 1 lemon, plus more for serving 1 head garlic 1 bay leaf 4 celery sticks 2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns 1/4 cup sea salt 2 pounds mussels 1 pound steamer clams 3 pounds red potatoes 1 pound sliced kielbasa 6 ears of corn on the cob, halved 2 cups white wine 6–8 lobsters (about 1–1 1/4 pounds each) Minced parsley, for garnish Melted butter, for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1. Bring about 4 inches of water to a boil in a 30-quart lobster pot over a propane burner that is set up outside your home. (Note: If you don’t have this equipment, cut the recipe in half to accommodate a 16-quart stock pot that can be heated on your stovetop.) Step 2. Prepare a seasoning pouch by laying out a large square of cheesecloth and filling it with one peeled and halved onion, one halved lemon, 1 head of garlic with the top sliced off, a bay leaf, celery, peppercorns, and sea salt. Tie the opposite corners of the cheesecloth together to create a secure pouch for the seasoning mixture and add it into the boiling water. Step 3. While the water is being infused with the seasoning pouch, prepare and clean the mussels and clams. Create two more cheesecloth pouches and place the mussels in one and the clams in the other. Tie the opposite corners of the cheesecloth together (loosely this time) to create two pouches. Step 4. Insert a steamer basket into the pot and add the potatoes, which should be just covered with water. Poke the potatoes after 10 minutes with a fork to test their doneness. Once the potatoes are about

halfway cooked (just soft to the touch of the fork), add the sliced kielbasa pieces, halved ears of corn and white wine to the broth mixture. Cook for 5â&#x20AC;&#x201C;7 minutes. Step 5. Open the pot to add the lobsters, then cover with the lid and continue to boil for about 7 minutes. Step 6. Add the pouches of clams and mussels to the top of the pot and boil for another 5 minutes, until the shells open. Step 7. Remove the steamer basket from the lobster pot and shake out the remaining broth and liquids before transferring the contents of the basket to serving bowls. Divide the clambake into one large bowl for the lobsters, another for the potatoes, corn, kielbasa and clams, and a smaller bowl for the delicate mussels. You can discard the seasoning pouch at the bottom of the pot, but reserve the broth to ladle over the mussels. Step 8. Garnish the meal with fresh parsley and serve immediately with melted butter and lemon wedges.

Photography by Timothy Mollen

hotographer Timothy Mollen has been capturing dramatic images of the South Shore ever since he moved to Cohasset in 2016. However, it wasn’t until he got his FAA Drone License in 2018 that he began to explore landscape photography from the air. “I use Google Earth to scout interesting locations and landmarks from the air and then bring my camera and drone with me to try to capture certain details at different times of the day,” says Mollen. Many of his images showcase the beauty of local beaches. “The places I drive by every day look so different depending on the weather and angle that the photo is taken from,” says Mollen. “Egypt Beach in Scituate can look like a beach in California or even a tropical location depending on the lighting.” Mollen runs a company called Mahalo Content, which specializes in commercial advertising for a wide range of clients. He also has a second company called Hidden Oaks Lane, which focuses on fine art prints and interior design photography. “The mixture of different creative outlets really helps me balance life and work in a way that the traditional advertising jobs I’ve had in the past wouldn’t allow me to,” says Mollen. “I feel truly lucky that my wife, Allison, supports my passion for creativity and doesn’t mind me bringing camera gear on our vacations.” A large collection of Mollen’s work is being featured at The Corner Stop Eatery in Cohasset in July. Framed and unframed prints can be purchased on his website, hiddenoakslane.com.

Tree-Berry Farm’s pick-your-own

blueberry harvest is a rite of summer for many families.

corching midsummer days may tempt you to hide indoors, but it is the prime time for blueberry picking on the South Shore. Tree-Berry Farm in Scituate opens its gates as soon as the berries are ripened and keeps them open until there’s nothing left to pick. Owner Beverly Westerveld considers the last week of July to the first week of August to be the best time for collecting buckets of juicy berries. Visitors come from miles around to set out across the farm’s eight patches and pick blueberries until their hearts – and buckets – are full.

By Courtney Garvey - Photography by Jack Foley

BLUEBERRY PICKING

Westerveld has been working at the farm since its inception. She helped her father, Stan Briggs, establish a cut-your-own Christmas tree farm on the property in 1974 and blueberry bushes in 1976. The pick-your-own farm opened in 1980 and Westerveld and her brothers grew up working at the farm. While college and a cross-country road trip took her away for a few years, Westerveld dutifully returned to help with the family business. She now runs the farm on her own, with her husband helping out during the Christmas tree season, “which is six days of the year,” she says with a laugh. The farm is situated just off Route 123. Westerveld greets customers at the weighing stand and directs them toward bountiful patches. Tree-Berry’s crop is grown exclusively for picking, so while a handful of customers bring their bounty to local farmers’ markets, Westerveld doesn’t sell in bulk to outside consumers. This means there are more berries left on the bushes for roaming customers to find. “I meet so many nice people out here. That’s what makes it fun,” says Westerveld. “I have the best customers in the world.”

SUMMER 2019 | SOUTH SHORE - HOME, LIFE & STYLE

When asked about her top blueberry picking tips, Westerveld keeps it simple. “Pick when the berries are blue,” she says. “Remember to look low on the bushes, where the ripe berries may be hiding. And don’t forget to enjoy what you’re doing. Enjoy the experience.” Tree-Berry Farm is open from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., but call ahead before you visit in case the farm is closed for regrowth or because of poor weather. Westerveld updates the farm’s answering machine message every afternoon with the next day’s hours, and her husband updates the website almost daily with the weekly hours.

DUXBURY SALT WORK S

Brooke Bradley, Lily Leedom and Inge Houghton collect water from Duxbury Bay.

SUMMER 2019 | SOUTH SHORE - HOME, LIFE & STYLE

Lily Leedom and her team at Duxbury Saltworks tap into one of the South Shore’s most obvious resources.

fter wading knee-deep in the icy waters of Duxbury Bay, Lily Leedom found herself in her kitchen with a few gallons of sloshing ocean water. Like a chemist, she employed pots and pans from her cabinets and boiled the water until its most prominent mineral—salt—sunk like tiny stones to the bottom. She scooped up the flakes to create a miniature white mountain and tasted the results. Leedom repeated this process over and over until she found just the right texture and consistency for cooking. Leedom is not a chemist or a chef, but she is an entrepreneur. In 2018, she and her husband, Timothy, who is originally from Duxbury, moved back east from Portland, Oregon, with their two young children. While on the West Coast, Leedom launched and ran a real estate business as well as a yoga mat company. “[Entrepreneurship] is like a wellspring from within me,” says Leedom. “There are boundless ideas and my inspiration comes largely from this place and the natural beauty of it.”

DUXBURY SALT WORK S

When the couple moved to Duxbury, Leedom fell in love with the region’s rich maritime history, and, after leaving a city known for its maker culture, she wondered what she could create in her newfound home. “There’s a long history of salt-making in this region and, of course, in the world,” says Leedom. “With the proliferation of oyster farms in Duxbury, I thought, why are we importing salt when we have it a few feet away from our homes?” Leedom started making small batches of sea salt and sharing her product with family and friends. Her idea attracted the attention of a number of locally minded individuals and she soon had a roster of supporters and team-members (including Dana Hale, Katie White, Brooke Bradley, Inge Houghton, and Erika Upson) who helped transform her vision into a business. Leedom’s new company, Duxbury Saltworks, officially launched in the fall of 2018 and her product is currently available online and in a number of stores on the South Shore. The process of making sea salt is timeconsuming. After scraping the salt from the bottom of the pan, Leedom places it into a warming oven where it slowly roasts at a low temperature. “We worked hard to come up with the right consistency, which is fluffy and snowlike,” she says. The flavor is more powerful than table salt. Leedom suggests sprinkling the flaky crystals as a final touch to a meal, but they can be used for cooking and baking as well. “It’s a finishing salt, so it’s designed to really melt on your food,” she says.

SUMMER 2019 | SOUTH SHORE - HOME, LIFE & STYLE

While Leedom and her team could tweak the consistency of the salt through trial and error, Dana Hale, one of the company’s advisors and a longtime member of the Island Creek Oysters team, says the taste is ultimately determined by the water it’s harvested from. “If we make the salt and it doesn’t taste good, there’s nothing we can do. It tastes how it tastes because it comes from here. Luckily,” she adds. “It tastes really good.” Duxbury Bay is a busy port for local aquaculture operations and the oysters have a big impact on the local water quality. “The oysters filter the bay about every nine days, which is important for lots of reasons, but very important when it comes to sea salt because everything in that water will be in the salt,” says Hale.

DUXBURY SALT WORK S

SUMMER 2019 | SOUTH SHORE - HOME, LIFE & STYLE

The history of salt-making in the region goes back generations. Before refrigeration, salt was essential to preserving food like fish and meat, and from the mid-18th century and into the 19th century, a number of salt companies occupied the coastlines of the northeast, especially Cape Cod. In the book “Salt: A World History,” author Mark Kurlansky, reports that by 1837, the Cape “had 658 salt companies producing more than 26,000 tons per year.” However, the demand for salt was increasing at a rate that the Cape couldn’t keep up with and many of the region’s salt companies closed in the late-19th century and never reopened. Today, Leedom is revisiting the viability of the abundant natural resource. Currently, Duxbury Saltworks operates out of a former farm on Bay Road close to the coast. For years, the old farm managed a stand at the end of its dirt driveway, and the land was originally part of the Howland Farm consortium, but in recent years the property fell into disrepair. When Leedom walked the land with her husband, she saw its potential. “People who live in the area remember how amazing this place used to be, but over the past several years it was let go,” she says. “It is a lot for somebody to maintain, so we bought the property with the intention to restore the land.” The added benefit is that the house on the property could serve as the launching pad for the business. The property’s 10 acres include peach and magnolia trees that burst into bloom in the spring. On the ground, discarded oyster shells are scattered, a reminder of the land’s proximity to the sea. Leedom picks up the shells and places them into a bucket—she has another idea brewing. The setting, Leedom says, is ideal for farm-to-table dinners, which she and her team plan to initiate this fall. “There is a lot we can do with this piece of land and we are looking forward to the possibilities,” she says. For now, Leedom and her team at Duxbury Saltworks are busy in the kitchen—boiling, producing and packaging local, organic sea salt into jars and salt cellars, which they hope will find its way onto more tables on the South Shore and beyond.

PAR AGON CAROUSEL

SUMMER 2019 | SOUTH SHORE - HOME, LIFE & STYLE

Paragon Carousel preserves a piece of the past while bringing joy to new generations.

verlooking the sandy shores of Nantasket Beach in Hull, Paragon Carousel is the ultimate summertime entertainment spot for young families. The vintage carousel is filled to the rafters with nostalgia. It was once part of the amusement mecca known as Paragon Park, which shuttered its doors in 1984 following eight decades of fanfare. The carousel was purchased at auction by three local businessmen in 1985 and moved to its current location. Today, it is an alluring example of kinetic art, owned and operated by the Friends of the Paragon Carousel, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that aims to preserve and restore the ride to its original splendor. The carousel continues to attract history buffs and people looking to relive the magic of childhood. Riding around and around on the painted ponies and hearing the 1928 Wurlitzer Band Organ play is a summertime tradition for many visitors. Here are five fascinating facts about Hull’s historic gem.

EYEBROW TITLE

#1 The Friends of the Paragon Carousel lease the land upon which the carousel and adjacent Clock Tower Building sit from the Department of Conservation and Recreation, a state agency of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Clock Tower Building, another one of Nantasket Beach’s landmarks, dates to 1923 and is home to the Paragon Park Museum, a restoration studio, the Friends’ business office and The Paragon Creamery, which serves up Gifford’s ice cream and kid-friendly snacks. “There’s a huge love in the community for the carousel and what it represents as a piece of living history and artwork,” says Jim Callahan, director of operations.

#2 The golden age of carousels spanned six decades, from 1870 to 1930. During this period, artisans from Europe hand-carved and painted nearly 3,000 carousels. Unfortunately, less than 150 of these ageless wonders are operating today. The Philadelphia Toboggan Company crafted 89 carousels in the early 20th century–one of which was the Paragon Carousel. The 1928 merry-goround is classified as a Grand Carousel and earned its coveted title because it carries four rows of horses and two Roman-style chariots.

SUMMER 2019 | SOUTH SHORE - HOME, LIFE & STYLE

#3 Paragon Carousel is one of only five remaining carousels designed by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company that features chariots. The bejeweled boothlike benches are considered rare and believed to be crafted by Frank Carretta, a master carver from Sicily. In 2003, James Hardison, the carousel’s restoration curator and chief mechanic restored one of the chariots to its original splendor–revealing its vibrant colors. Hardison, a Hull resident and fine artist, has been breathing life into the carousel for more than two decades. Over the years he has refurbished 44 of its horses. “I carefully remove the paint with heat,” explains Hardison. “These figures were painted over many times and there could be 20 or 30 coats of paint on a horse. I try to discover the original color scheme.” The carousel’s second chariot is currently being restored and is expected to be unveiled later this season.

PAR AGON CAROUSEL

#4 Paragon Carousel flaunts baroque elements from a bygone age. The ride features 66 majestic horses, each designed in the Philadelphia style, a carving technique that yielded lifelike poses, expressive eyes and windswept manes. The 12 stationary “standers” along the perimeter of the carousel feature some of the most impressive ornamentation. “They’re the largest and most elaborately carved horses because they’re the closest to the guests who are watching,” explains Callahan. There are also 42 “jumpers,” which move up and down, two chariots that are each pulled by two horses and eight smaller ponies. The antique showpiece is also adorned with six cherubs, 35 oil paintings and 18 goddesses—all illuminated by 1,056 dazzling lights.

#5 The Friends of the Paragon Carousel offers a unique carousel horse adoption program. With a gift of $10,000, the adopter gains exclusive naming rights to a horse for life and lends support to the carousel’s ongoing restoration. A seasonal adoption is also available for $250 and includes naming rights to a horse for the carousel’s current operating season (April to October).

“We Build the Best & Repair the Rest”

What every runner should know about race prep and recovery Photography by Kjeld Mahoney

RUNNER’S LIFE

rom quiet forest trails to scenic seaside roads, the South Shore has no shortage of great places to run. Whether you’re a fan of the 5k or a dedicated marathoner, it’s important to take good care of your body before and after races. We chatted with Cindy Doody, owner of Body Blueprint Center in Cohasset and Hingham, to learn about some of the different therapies available to local road warriors.

Beth Mercurio runs marathons and stays injury-free by visiting Body Blueprint.

At what point should an athlete seek out muscular recovery therapies? We encourage proactive care for the body. Athletes of all ages come to us for post-run recovery and we make sure to educate them on the importance of recovery throughout their training. Muscular Therapy helps you to prevent those unexpected kinks along the way that can transform into major issues.

What steps should a runner take to reduce recovery time after a race? As soon as you cross the finish line, you immediately shift from racing to recovery mode. I recommend booking your post-race massage appointment well in advance to make recovery a pre-scheduled priority. In the following 24 hours, be sure to keep your body moving. Take slow walks or slow bike rides, indulge in warm baths with Epsom salt, apply ice packs on the swollen areas, elevate your legs against the wall for circulation, wear compression recovery sleeves, pants and/or socks—anything to help improve circulation.

SUMMER 2019 | SOUTH SHORE - HOME, LIFE & STYLE

What are the benefits of compression sleeves and who uses them? Anyone who needs to add more circulation into their legs can benefit from compression sleeves. They feel amazing. The two brands we like best are NormaTec and Air Relax, which are great for all fitness levels and especially runners. Are certain types of massages more beneficial to runners? Your massage should always be customized, aligning with your personal holistic needs. Depending on the client, we create an individualized “blueprint” which might incorporate neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, joint mobilization and active recovery stretching. Timing matters tremendously, and therefore we recommend

Running is central to my stress management and overall health. Body Blueprint has played a critical role by helping me stay healthy and injury free. Last year when I was training for the Boston Marathon, I injured my hamstring. I came to the Body Blueprint team in a bit of a panic that I might be unable to run the marathon. The team worked together to create a massage and strength training plan to get me back to running. It is definitely because of their support and expertise that I was able to run Boston. They’ve given me the tools and knowledge to take better care of my body. I still go there for “tune-up” massages to keep me running without pain. — BETH MERCURIO OF HINGHAM

training cycle. If there is extensive pain occurring, you should consult a doctor beforehand to eliminate any medical-related questions that might arise.

How and when do you suggest runners use RockTape? RockTape is a kinesiology tape made of cotton and nylon fabric with adhesive on one side. The tape creates a mechanism which lifts and pulls the skin away from soft tissue, allowing blood to flow into a specific area to accelerate healing and recovery. It can also help you to reduce swelling, improve blood flow, and coordinate movement/tracking and proprioceptively offer support and compression. That being said, I don’t recommend trying anything new right before a race, as you must give your body the appropriate time it deserves to ensure that every treatment and technique is the very best fit for you. Are you a fan of foam rolling? I definitely see the benefits of foam rolling for the larger muscles such as the glutes and quads. However, I have seen people rigorously foam-roll their IT bands at the gym, which is unnecessary and can result in a negative effect. For runners, it’s also important to work on your feet. This is crucial because it will help with your gait and alleviate pain in other areas of your body. How long is a normal recovery time? A general rule of thumb is to wait one day per mile, before you run hard again. For example, after a half marathon (13.1 miles), it would be almost 2 weeks out from race

Lenny’s Hideaway You know a restaurant is serious about the quality of its organic tortillas when the chefs take the time to grind the corn masa and make them by hand. “It’s a labor of flavor,” says Derek Burke, who opened Lenny’s Hideaway with his wife, Stephanie, back in February. Tucked down a quiet alley in downtown Cohasset, this funky Mexican restaurant is a laid-back retreat where vinyl records supply the tunes and traditional lucha libre wrestling masks decorate the walls. The menu at Lenny’s Hideaway emphasizes freshness, offering wood-grilled dishes typical to the Riviera Maya and Baja regions of Mexico as well as recipes passed down from Stephanie’s family in Irapuato. The homemade gorditas, for example, are a dish Stephanie’s grandmother used to make. Thicker than a traditional tortilla and shaped by hand so the edges curl upward (similar to a sope), they are vehicles for delicious toppings like beans, ground beef and chorizo. Guests can also choose from a range of different taco varieties, such as grilled steak, roasted pork (carnitas), chicken tinga and seared tuna. If you’re looking for a vegetarian option, there’s an impressive wood-grilled veggie platter. The cocktails are excellent and always made with freshly squeezed juices. Enjoy a Lenny’s Margarita, Mezcal Mule or Sidecar while gazing out the windows at the bar which overlooks the Cohasset train tracks. The owners hope to open a rooftop patio later this summer with views of St. Stephen’s church.

Los Jefe’s In many ways, the origins of Los Jefe’s: A Betta Bar & Grille is a love story. The husband and wife team, Nikki IrvingMiralrio and her husband Eduardo Miralrio-Arellano, met while working at a restaurant many years ago. They share a passion for great food and for their community. It’s something that guests sense as soon as they step through the door of the restaurant and it’s a big reason why they have such a loyal following. Prior to opening a brick-and-mortar restaurant in May, the couple ran a catering business and would frequently make appearances at the Plymouth Farmer’s Market and other local food events. They specialize in authentic Mexican and Caribbean cuisines. Specialties include the coctel de camaron, a Mexico City-style shrimp cocktail served with tomato, chilies, avocado and tortilla chips and their famously delicious tacos. Choose from barbacoa (slow-cooked beef in adobo) lime and pepper chicken, pork carnitas or house-made chorizo. All of the tacos are served on handmade corn tortillas.

They’re also known for their Jamaican jerk chicken and jumbo chicken wings that come tossed in a spicy mangohabanero sauce with a dish of avocado ranch dressing for dipping. Groups of diners can enjoy the casual friendly atmosphere while sharing chips with fresh guacamole and salsa. Wash it all down with a cocktail—try La Jefa, a cocktail containing 1800 Silver Tequila, hibiscus tea, agave and lime juice--or a non-alcoholic agua fresca, a refreshing beverage made by blending fresh fruit with water, lime juice and cane sugar (we like the hibiscus variety). In Spanish, the name Los Jefe’s means “the bosses,” but it’s really a business that’s all about family, and the blending of many cultures and cuisines. “When we cook for you, we are telling you who we are, where we’re from, and what makes us happy,” says Nikki. “Welcome to our house.”

Cork + Table One of the newest restaurants to open in downtown Plymouth is Cork + Table, a contemporary-American eatery with a southern flair. True to its name, it’s a great destination for wine lovers, with an expansive selection of wines available by the bottle or the glass and a glittery cork accent wall behind the bar. The decor at Cork + Table is refined, with a dramatic crystal chandelier and comfy seating, but the menu is rooted in tradition. Featured items include Southern-style crab cakes, lowcountry shrimp and grits, and tasty shared plates like warm Carolina pimento cheese dip and fried green tomatoes. Dishes are prepared with bold flavors and are elegantly plated. Bill Cubbage and Deb Tanis quietly opened the restaurant in September and have expanded their offerings for summer guests. The restaurant now serves lunch and dinner and has added some lighter options to the menu, such as a Cork + Table Salad served with grilled shrimp and zucchini noodles, and fresh, local oysters on the half shell. All of the delicious desserts at Cork + Table are made in-house by Cubbage—think pecan pie and peach cobbler. The restaurant also offers inventive craft cocktails. Try a stoli doli martini, made with pineapple-infused vanilla vodka, or a spicy Paloma prepared with Patron Silver Tequila, grapefruit juice and charred jalapeño simple syrup. One of the newer additions to the drink list is a refreshing vermouth spritz, made with Otto’s Athens Vermouth, club soda and a splash of white wine. Guests can grab a window seat to watch the world go by while enjoying a little Southern hospitality.

Su Casa It was a craving for tacos that first inspired Plymouth residents Erin Murphy and her husband, Nick Crosby, to open their own restaurant. Raised in Southern California, Murphy longed for an authentic Baja-style taco and was unable to find a local restaurant that could deliver the goods. Having both worked in the restaurant industry for years, the couple set out to create an eatery that would showcase upscale Cali-Baja cuisine. Executive chef Patrick Gilmartin designed an innovative menu that celebrates local ingredients. Most notably, the restaurant makes its own tortillas using corn masa that is ground fresh at the Plimoth Grist Mill across town. When Crosby created the drink menu he aimed to be a little different. Diners can sip signature concoctions like “All the Boys to the Yard,” made with Xicaru Mezcal, Mandarine Napoleon liqueur, Peychaud Aperitivo and house-infused serrano honey. Fresh, local seafood plays a central role. Try the lobster tostada, topped with fresh arugula and radishes, a raw quail egg, salmon roe, jalapeño oil and delicate strips of preserved lemon. There’s also a Market Fish Aguachile, which is essentially a spicy Mexican ceviche made with “chili pepper water.” Adventurous diners can also order a whole fish, served with grilled avacado, jalapeño, cactus and spring pea succotash. Some of the other menu favorites include an out-of-thisworld street corn, duck empanada and ribeye carne asada. Su Casa is already a crowd pleaser and on a busy night you may have to wait for a table—or you could opt to dine standing up in the restaurant’s “Stand for a Cause Corner,” created in memory of Crosby’s cousin, Boston firefighter Michael Kennedy. The cozy corner is too small for chairs, but if guests are willing to stand while enjoying a meal at the high-top table, the restaurant donates 30 percent of the check to a local charity of the month. For Crosby and Murphy, giving back to the community in this creative way was a no-brainer—and for customers it’s an easy way to do-good over dinner.
