From the Pine Barrens Series. By Paul Goldfinger
AARON WEINSTEIN (violin) and JOHN PIZZARELLI (vocal and guitar). From the album “A Handful of Stars.” This song, “Let’s Get Lost,” was in a 1943 movie “Happy Go Lucky” and then in a 1988 Oscar nominated documentary about the jazz trumpet player/singer Chet Baker. John Pizzarelli sounds a lot like the late Chet Baker.

By Rich Amole, Blogfinger staff historian/researcher.
This is a postcard image of a tall sail schooner with a bit of a breeze hitting its sails off the Grove’s beach—- 108 years ago in 1906.
Not much on text back then— just a simple “Greetings from Ocean Grove” which still holds up today, not so much for that schooner………..

By Eileen Goldfinger, Food and Garden Editor @Blogfinger Re-post.
2 cups seeded watermelon, 1 inch cubed (I used half red and half yellow watermelon)
1 large beefsteak tomato, 1 inch cubes
1 small red onion cut in half and sliced thinly on an angle from the side
3 ounces of baby arugula
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground garlic (dry not fresh)
2 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
4-5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
Place watermelon, tomatoes, onion and arugula in a large bowl and stir.
Add salt, pepper and garlic to the salad. Drizzle balsamic vinegar and olive
oil on salad and stir all ingredients together. Sprinkle feta cheese over the salad and serve.
Serves 2
Editors note: This salad was inspired in 2013 by Laurie Price at Laurie’s Farm Market **on Atkins Avenue in Neptune Township.
I purchased the yellow watermelon, tomatoes and arugula from her. All other ingredients were from Wegmans with the exception of the traditional barrel aged Italian balsamic vinegar which was purchased at Carter & Cavero in Sea Girt*.
* Carter and Cavero are at 2100 Rt. 35 in Sea Girt. They also have a store in Red Bank.
** Lauri’s Farm Market is no longer in business

Posted in Music from TV, Music: Jazz on Blogfinger, tagged Treme is back on HBO on December 4, 2013|
Treme is the story of New Orleans after Katrina. On Dec 1, 2013 it returned for its fourth and final season. We’ll hate to see it end. It has brought the wonder of New Orleans jazz to HBO along with stories of musicians, chefs, fishermen, Mardi Gras, and the struggle to recover from the storm. Episode one, last Sunday, had a lot of music and it was great.
One of the highlights was to hear the Ellis Marsalis quintet. Here is a song, not from the Treme soundtrack, but from Ellis Marsalis’ album “A New Orleans Christmas Carol.'”—Deluxe Edition. The song is called “Christmas Time is Here.” This is a beautiful tune–not often heard.
