Beem is one of Maine’s champion voices for art. He’s a wit. He’s an intellectual. He’s a mensch.

I am going to miss this blog.

Comment on Mexican Stuffed Peppers for Cinco de Mayo by Susan Fischer

Susan Fischer — Wed, 22 May 2013 19:44:50 +0000

If someone prints just the recipe out and takes it home, there is no mention in the recipe about why one needs 3 cups of brown rice. Fortunately, I was able to remember where I found this recipe and come back to read the article that goes with it. But since I pull recipes from many places, that wouldn’t always be the case. Might need to go in and update this recipe so that it indicates WHEN to add the 3 cups of cooked brown rice.

Looking forward to trying this recipe, now that I know the brown rice goes in the peppers.

Comment on 10 Best Non-Toxic Houseplants: How to Care for and Identify Them by Shelley

While it is best that pets and people never eat house plants (always call a doctor or veterinarian if any house plant is ingested) the toxicity level in the Jade and Mother-in-laws tongue is very low. It is due to natural chemicals produced by the plant to repel insects and ward off fungal attacks. If ingestion does indeed occur it will likely cause mild stomach irritation.

Comment on Hildene | The Lincoln Family Summer Home in Manchester, VT by Mary Hampton

Mary Hampton — Wed, 22 May 2013 05:33:12 +0000

I am a distant cousin of Abraham Lincoln – 2nd cousin, 7 times removed – as our family descended from Virginia John Lincoln of Harrisonburg, Va., Abraham’s great grandfather. A friend who is a Lincoln buff and Civil War buff has found this link for me of Hildene. We knew OF it but never saw a picture or knew much about it. We would like to plan a trip to stay at the Equinox and tour Hildene. Can you send me any literature (brochures, etc) regarding either?

Thank you kindly,

Comment on Best Fourth of July Celebrations in New England by Cindy Vegnone

Cindy Vegnone — Tue, 21 May 2013 16:02:40 +0000

We spend every July 3rd on the Grafton Town Common. The Grafton Lions Club has sponsored, for the past 30 plus years, a free concert. They put up a tent for the orchestra on the 2nd and people come and put their chairs out on the common. When they return on the following evening not a single chair has disappeared. They have different bands but this year will be the 215th Army National Guard Concert Band from Fall River. There is something very special about listening to a concert under the massive trees and knowing that it just doesn’t get any better than that.

Not only will visitors be treated to an up-close view of the artists’ creative spaces and processes, but they will be traveling through some of the most breathtakingly beautiful hills of Northwest Connecticut and truly lovely scenery along off-the-beaten-track roads to these creative enclaves. ENJOY!

Comment on Crab Dip by Aimee Seavey

Aimee Seavey — Fri, 17 May 2013 17:33:15 +0000

Hi Else. The dip is best served hot, so you’ll want to make it and wrap it up tight for transporting. You can always put in in the bread bowl (if you’re using one) once you’ve arrived at the party.

Comment on Best 5 Maple Syrups | And the Winners Are… by Joe LeBlanc

Joe LeBlanc — Thu, 16 May 2013 05:10:38 +0000

I tried a maple syrup that was very dark and had an unusually undescribable flavoe . it was from the NW corner of connecticut which is located at the foothills of the bershires and Appalachains. It was from a very pituresque town know as Colebrook. I purchased several jugs and hope when i reture to replenish my supple. I live in NW Louisiana so I must make a stop there whenever i can which is not very often.

As one of the participating artists in the “Pollination” exhibit, I welcomed your fine insights into the beauty that surrounds us every minute of every day – if we just look. “The simple act of looking ( and for those of us who create -expressing) becomes life affirming” You said it all!

The best way to find out the value of your bags is to have them appraised by a reputable antique dealer.

Comment on Clara’s Quick Jam Bars by Amy Catherine Adams

Amy Catherine Adams — Sat, 11 May 2013 23:15:04 +0000

I have made this recipe twice now for a thank you, as well as a dessert for a special anniversary. The recipe is simple, and the results are delicious. The simple dough recipe yields a buttery crust filled with your favorite jam. The flavors of these bars roll together, and pair well with tea, coffee, and yummy hot chocolate.

That’s not the “Inn at Old Harbor” – it’s the National Hotel.
