The first thing we do, let's flog all the poseurs...
The Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony on people whose attire exceeded their rank and condition in life:
Full disclosure: While SWNE unequivocally rejects flogging people whose attire exceeds their rank and conditions in life, it was 9th great grandfathers John Winthrop and Thomas Dudley, concurrent Governors of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, who likely oversaw it. For those who take issue with this policy, please address your complaints directly to the General Court, Massachusetts Bay Colony, 1640.
“As early as 1640 the General Court intended that the inhabitants should measure their apparel by the length of their purses – the Court being the judges. The constable in each town was ordered to take notice of all persons, and if he judged any persons exceeded their rank and condition in life, in their attire, to warn them to appear before the Particular Court to answer for the offence. Most of the penalties attached to the criminal laws, were accompanied with flogging and pillory; so much so that a law was enacted in 1643, which made it imperative upon all the towns on Connecticut River to appoint a whipper to do execution upon offenders. The Puritans appear to have punished offenders by whipping, with the same object that a parent corrects his children, only to improve their habits.”

Framing Black and White Photographs
All Original Photographs of All Original Photographs from Archives, Except for the Museum Photograph Below, Which is an Original Photograph of the Photographs of Others |
It is not hard to visit a museum, gallery, or apartment or flat where quite a few black and white photographs are framed identically, typically with white or off-white mattes and modern, minimalist black frames. The theory seems to be that this approach allows the photographs to stand out while the frames fade into the background, but too often the opposite effect is achieved.
Museums that would never hang oils with identical frames do just that with photographs. |
Small prints, such as this one, require a different scale. |

From the Community: How Do You Use Your Garlic Scapes?
Photo by Salt Water New England |
I use them in anything in which I would use garlic. For those who really love garlic, they are delicious roasted or grilled. Toss them with olive oil, salt and pepper and roast in a 350 degree oven or on a medium hot grill. Turn occasionally until they brown a bit.
- Bitsy.
I do the way green onions are used - adds a little zing and prettiness julienned and into soups, salads, etc. Especially nice color touch if you have, for example, tomato bisque or gazpacho, or nice red & yellow endive salad.
As deer deterrent. The scent remains, even after rain falls.
I make scape pesto!
This recipe is from Cedar Circle Farm, Thetford, VT
10 scapes
1/3 cup pistachios
1/3 cup parm cheese
1/3 cup olive oil
salt & pepper to taste
- Michelle Adams
I'll first discard of any woody ends, much like with asparagus. Then as Bitsy suggests, a minute on the grill (or indoors, held with tongs for a few seconds over an open gas flame) until they are slightly charred helps to eliminate any sharpness that some may dislike, while bringing out a wonderfully subtle sweetness. After a rough chop, the delicious possibilities are endless - some of my favorite uses are topping scrambled eggs, mixing into potato salads, or making a sort of relish to pair with seafood.
