hat began as a seed of an idea just a few months ago, has finally become a reality. You are now holding the inaugural issue of South Shore Home, Life & Style, a magazine created to celebrate everything that’s great about living on the South Shore of Massachusetts.

When our team set out to create this magazine, our goal was simple: craft a beautifully designed publication filled with compelling stories that inform and inspire our readers. Our spring Home Design & Decor Issue features a dynamic editorial lineup that includes profiles of local interior designers who moonlight as fine artists, a story about an innovative Farm-to-Food Pantry Program at Holly Hill Farm and a guide to must-see historical landmarks in Quincy. This issue also highlights a noteworthy archeological dig in Plymouth, exciting new restaurants heating up the food scene, expert wine pairing tips and much more.

Building a magazine from scratch is a bit like assembling the pieces of a giant puzzle. It requires months of planning, countless photo shoots and interviews, and hours of editing and fact checking. I can’t say thank you enough to our incredible team of contributors and to everyone in the community who has shown their support and encouragement. Join us as we discover the many hidden gems of the South Shore!

Beautiful blooms were donated by Cross Street Flower Farm in Norwell, a sign was provided by sign maker Jenny Cohane of Citrus Daisy, photographer Jenni Dehn of Jenni with an Eye Photography was there to capture photographs and Kate Murtaugh Events and Design helped ensure everything went off without a hitch.

“As a local company, we wanted to connect with the community to celebrate all of the amazing moms out there and to also bring attention to the amazing organization, empowerHER,” says Landry.

The event was such a huge success last year that Landry has decided to do it again. This year’s floral installation at Lucky Finn Café is scheduled to be installed May 9 and will stay up for about a week, weather permitting. The event will again help support empowerHER. “As a new mom to a baby girl, this felt like the best way to celebrate moms and to help support these courageous and strong girls who have lost their mothers too young,” says Landry.

The Petal Peddler’s Shop What began as a creative centerpiece idea for a Jane Austin Tea hosted by the Friends of the Milton Public Library in 2017, has blossomed into an enjoyable side hustle for Milton resident Allegra Murray. Her handcrafted paper rose bouquets, fashioned from antique book pages, were so well received at the library event that she was inspired to launch The Petal Peddler’s Shop.

By day, Murray works in the financial services industry, but she spends her nights and weekends working on custom paper rose orders. No two blooms are identical because each is made using unique papers, such as old maps, architectural blueprints and sheet music (Murray happens to have a degree in classical vocal performance from Manhattan School of Music and a master’s in arts administration from Boston University). Many of her roses are made from pages from books that were donated to the local library but unsellable due to their condition.

“I don’t use machines, paper punches or templates,” says Murray, who cuts, colors and assembles all of her creations by hand. Customers often send Murray meaningful papers to transform into flowers. “It could be pages from a favorite childhood book, crossword puzzles faithfully completed by a parent each week, or a map from a cross-country trip with a loved one,” says Murray.

“I’m proud that all of my paper is locally sourced and that my artwork gives clients the opportunity to appreciate their paper memories in a new way.”

Murray has created paper flowers for Christmas ornaments and framed keepsakes and recently began turning tiny paper flowers into jewelry. The Petal Peddler’s Shop also offers bulk orders, which are perfect for wedding favors, event centerpieces and corporate giveaways. For more information, visit thepetalpeddlersshop.com

Heart of Oak Some people work out of their cars, but PJ Antonik, founder of Oak Development & Design and star of the home building television series “Heart of Oak”, literally has an office on wheels. Specializing in single-family home renovations and new construction of investment properties, Antonik set out to create a cost-effective and unique office solution that could travel with him to job sites. With its herring bone-pattern façade and hunter green front door, the 176-square-foot tinyhouse office is as eye catching as it is practical.

The first 13-episode season of “Heart of Oak,” produced by Blueview Productions, follows Antonik and his crew through the renovation of several Hingham homes. The show’s unscripted format allows viewers to witness the real trials and tribulations of construction in New England in a way that is informative and entertaining.

Several episodes document the building of Antonik’s tinyhouse office, which includes a small conference room, kitchen area, loft and even a bathroom with a stall shower.

A team of industrious shop students from South Shore Vocational Technical High School took part in the tiny house

office project, helping to install siding and the front door. When the project was completed, the show’s title sponsor, Timberland PRO, donated boots to the students as a thank you for their efforts.

“It has been an amazing process to work with local companies to produce a show so close to my heart,” says Antonik. “The support they’ve shown for young and aspiring students to become tradesman has been one of the most fulfilling opportunities I have ever encountered in my career. It’s something I will remember for a very long time.” “Heart of Oak” premiered on NESN in January. South Shore Vocational Technical High School is featured in five episodes.

HERE AND NOW

The Rise of the American Backyard

Long Beach, California, 1950s. Photo by Maynard L. Parker. Courtesy of The Huntington Library, San Marino, California.

An outdoor kitchen could fit any budget, from a simple store-bought grill to a permanent stone hearth with space for tool storage and food preparation.

Manicured lawns, inground pools, lounge furniture and barbecue grills—in the 1950s, Americans fell in love with their backyards. Functioning as an extension of the home, mid-century backyards were places for relaxing, recreation and entertaining. Patios boasted furniture made from stateof-the-art materials like plastic and aluminum, and lawn mowers began to appear in sheds across the country. A new Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition titled “Patios, Pools, & the Invention of the American Backyard,” explores this cultural phenomenon and is currently on view at the Eustis Estate Museum in Milton.

Drawing from the collections and research of the Smithsonian Gardens’ Archives of American Gardens, the exhibition

Rows of green and perfectly trimmed front lawns gave the impression of a united, well-kept community. A market emerged for yard maintenance, along with an increasing number of products designed to lessen the burden of yard work.

includes rare photographs, historic drawings and period advertisements that reveal how postwar Americans made use of their outdoor spaces. Historic New England, a nonprofit historic preservation organization headquartered in Boston, created a playful mid-century vignette to complement the exhibit using items from its own collection. The display includes mannequins modeling swimwear and enjoying croquet in a backyard setting complete with AstroTurf and a white picket fence. “Patios, Pools, & the Invention of the American Backyard” will be on view through May 26.

DESIGN TREND

More Than a Mudroom

By Maria Allen Photography by Jack Foley There was a time when mudrooms were solely thought of as places to hang backpacks and store boots. But these days, homeowners are opting to dial up the design of these transitional spaces to creating chic “command centers” customized to the needs of modern families. Glenn and Angelique Meader, owners of the design firm Good Life New England in Norwell, refer to these multi-functional areas of the home as “anchor rooms.”

“The anchor room is undeniably one of the hardest-working rooms in the home, second only to the kitchen,” says Glenn Meader. “We’ve seen a steady rise in the demand for these spaces.” Anchor rooms feature smart storage solutions and a wide range of amenities ranging from pantries and coffee nooks to plant potting areas and even pet washing stations.

Much like traditional mudrooms, anchor rooms see a lot of foot traffic and create a first impression when guests step through the door. Because of this, anchor rooms are designed to be both durable and stylish, featuring beautiful wallcoverings, practical tile floors, clever cabinet storage and well thoughtout lighting plans. No longer an afterthought, these rooms are now a versatile extension of the home.

Way for Ducklings” nursery for the 1997 Junior League Designer Showhouse in the Back Bay. I used shades of pearl and sterling silver and created a truly dreamy space. I still get inquiries from people wanting to purchase the bespoke swan crib that was the centerpiece of the nursery.

What is a decor trend you love?

I love the re-emergence of wall coverings.

Whether colorful patterns, textural grasscloth, neutrals or special finishes like dazzling beads, mother-of-pearl or Capiz shells, the right wall covering adds pizzazz.

Foolproof decorating tip?

Jazz up your ceilings. It’s the only flat surface that is not covered with carpets

or furnishings so why not add another layer of interest. You can add molding and intricate wood designs to create a coffered ceiling, or embellish further with wallpaper in recessed areas. I especially adore a wallpapered ceiling in a powder room. If you are on a budget, paint is a very reasonable way add a “wow” factor.

Pick an interesting finish or color and the space is instantly more stylish. Don’t forget about distinctive lighting. Most women have a shoe fetish, but I have a chandelier fetish. I believe that every space (including closets) that can handle a pendant light or chandelier should have one. The one caveat is that your light fixture needs to be in proportion to the rest of the room.

is one of our specialties at Hingham Furniture & Design. Over the years we have established a loyal clientele who come to us with everything from fine art photography and paintings to sports memorabilia.

What is a decor trend you love?

I’m not really a trendy gal but one thing I love is combining old with new. I respect antiques and reclaimed wood, but I like updating historic elements with modern fabrics and colors to bring out the contrast and texture.

Foolproof decorating tip?

Hang at least one mirror in every room.

Mirrors help make the most of a room’s natural light, enhance views, make a

small space feel more open. A well-placed mirror provides sparkle and adds oomph to decor. The key lies in pairing the right mirror with the right location to maximize its decorative potential. I will sometimes make custom mirrors for my clients in order to create that perfect reflection.

SPRING 2019 | SOUTH SHORE - HOME, LIFE & STYLE

What is your favorite room to design and why?

I really like family rooms and kitchens.

I love when clients say that their whole family loves to spend time in the room I’ve designed. Kitchens are kind of like a puzzle. Most people spend a lot of time in the kitchen so the design is important.

When I’m working on a kitchen design I really look at the whole space to see if a wall needs to come down or if a doorway should be moved. Once you make one decision, everything else falls into place.

Foolproof decorating tip?

I think in coastal homes, a lot of people are looking for fresh, light interiors that are comfortable and family friendly. If you’re

going to buy a sofa, choose a neutral color. There are a lot of great fabrics that are stain resistant, which is great if you have kids. If you are looking for an easy way to update a traditional home, bring in some art. A large abstract painting will bring in a freshness that you really can’t get any other way.

A Fresh Take on Tradition DISTINCTIVE DECOR BREATHES NEW LIFE INTO A HINGHAM HOME. Written by R ACHEL A R ROYO

Photography by JESSICA DEL A NEY

hen Gretchen Amidon first came across a large colonial on a peaceful wooded lot abutting Wompatuck State Park in Hingham, she knew her house hunting days had come to an end. The location was ideal, but the home, built in 1988, needed updates. After purchasing the property in January of 2017, Amidon spent several months scouring the internet in search of home design inspiration. “I spent hours looking at things on Houzz,” says Amidon. “I knew the things I liked, but I was struggling with putting it all together.”

After hiring a general contractor, Amidon reached out to Hingham designer Christine van der Kieft for some interior design assistance. “At first I thought I would hire [van der Kieft] for a few hours to get some ideas,” says Amidon. But the Hingham-based designer ended up playing a much larger role in the remodel.

Employed at an asset management firm, Amidon knew that she would be traveling a lot for work and decided to hire van der Kieft to act as a project manager for her home’s remodel. “Christine is not only a fantastic designer, but she is also good at listening, easy to work with and extremely organized,” says Amidon.

HOME DESIGN

The goal was to create a light-filled, petfriendly interior that would make the most of the home’s traditional, New England architecture while incorporating more contemporary elements that reflected Amidon’s personal style. “I love creating beautiful, timeless spaces and helping clients think a little outside the box,” says van der Kieft.

The design for the kitchen was directly inspired by Amidon’s online research. “I saw this one kitchen with blue cabinets and brass hardware that I really loved,” she says. The kitchen island and cabinetry with Lexington doors were sourced from Hingham Lumber and painted Benjamin Moore Hale Navy, which paired perfectly with contemporary brass Lewis Dolin Square Bar Hardware. White Luccia quartzite, chosen for the countertops, provides a nice counterpoint to the blue cabinetry and its warm tones complement the brass fixtures. “It’s a natural, beautiful stone that is full of movement,” says van der Kieft.

The kitchen was enlarged by taking square footage from a small laundry room that stood between the kitchen and dining room (a new laundry room was created on the opposite end of the home). New windows were installed in lieu of upper cabinetry to bring in more natural light.

“When you are standing in the kitchen, you feel like the woods surrounding the home are part of the space,” says van der Kieft. “It’s a very calming sensation.”

While the kitchen’s clean lines and bold use of color read more contemporary, the dining room is decidedly more traditional.

“The dining room is one of my favorite rooms in the house,” says van der Kieft. “It feels very rich in color and texture and has a lot of modern updates but it’s also a bit formal.”

50

SPRING 2019 | SOUTH SHORE - HOME, LIFE & STYLE

Coffered ceilings, wainscoting and a brass Mykonos chandelier add a bit of Old World refinement, as do the patterned window treatments with hints of silver and gold woven into the fabric. Textured Cowton & Tout grasscloth wallpaper adds a richness to the space. For a modern twist, a burlwood table with a warm caramel color anchors the room with the help of a geometric-patterned area rug.

The open layout of the family room, bar area and kitchen, made it crucial to maintain a cohesive design throughout.

The bar area also boasts Luccia quartzite countertops and brass linear pulls to tie in with the kitchen and a modern, geometric mirror hung over the bar sink reflects an abstract painting by South Shore artist Wendy Callahan in the opposing family room. “I love the mirror’s angles and fun play on soft lines,” says van der Kieft.

The family room’s conventional arched fireplace was squared out and updated with natural stone and updated, minimalist moldings to reflect a more modern look.

Built-ins with open upper shelving and cylindrical sconces with crackled glass and brass accents lend a freshness to the updated fireplace area.

For the master bedroom and en suite bath, the homeowner wanted a feminine space that would be soothing and ethereal.

Sheer, ivory window treatments were chosen to contrast with the dark finish on a pair of Ethan Allen bedside tables and a king-size bed nestles nicely into an alcove carved out of former closet space. A walk-in closet was built by borrowing space from an adjacent guest bedroom. A durable, nylon area rug incorporating warm beiges and soft grays and a complementary gray headboard with a subtle sheen complete the look.

Clean lines and ivory tones make the transition between master bedroom and bath smooth and seamless. Adorning the floor and shower wall are 12 by 24-inch rectangular tiles, while the shower floor features a herringbone-patterned tile in a comparable color palette. A Medallion vanity from the Galleria collection in a “Smoke” finish adds a contrasting richness to the predominantly light-colored space. Stealing the spotlight, however, is the fittingly named “Sunstruck” freestanding Kohler bathtub that sits beneath a section of windows.

Lastly, durable oak flooring and nylon area rugs were selected to make certain rooms like the master bedroom a little more pet friendly. The final result is a home that feels bright, spacious and filled with personality—and it’s a place Amidon loves to come home to.

Landmarks (seven) in the state of Massachusetts, trailing only Boston, Cambridge and Salem. In recent years, city leaders have worked hard to increase the visibility of these age-old and architecturally significant hidden gems. Five sites are conveniently located within walking distance of the recently dedicated Hancock-Adams Common, which makes it the perfect jumpingoff point for locals and tourists interested in exploring the city’s often overlooked historical sites.

The new Hancock-Adams Common features wide walkways, gardens, soon-to-be reopened shooting water fountains and on opposite ends of the promenade, bronze statues of John Adams, the second President of the United States, and John Hancock, the first Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Both of these revolutionary leaders were native sons of Quincy. In fact, the town narrowly missed being

witnessed the unveiling of the statues made by Russian-born sculptor Sergey Eylanbokov during the dedication of the common on September 8, 2018. It was a day that Quincy Mayor Thomas Koch will never forget. “People are still coming up to me saying what a remarkable day it was for our city,” says Koch.

Creating the Hancock Adams Common was itself a remarkable feat. The project involved years of construction work, cost $35 million dollars and required roads to be completely rerouted. But the result was worth the effort. “The park is a gorgeous public space and a fitting gateway to the city of Quincy’s historic heritage and revitalized downtown,” says Bob Damon, director of history and visitor programs at the Church of the Presidents.

“We’re one of the best kept secrets in the state,” adds Mark Carey, media director for the City of Quincy.

The centerpiece of the common is the United First Parish Church, also known as the Church of the Presidents—so named because it is the only location in the United States where two presidents are buried, namely John Adams and his son, John Quincy Adams, who served as the second and sixth presidents of the United States.

The church was constructed out of Quincy granite donated from quarries owned by John Adams and designed by Alexander Parris, who also designed the famed Quincy Market in Boston from 1824-1826 while working on Pilgrim Hall in Plymouth (as well as other projects). Funds for the church construction were provided by John Adams four years before his passing in 1826 and the foundation was laid in April 1827. Parris’ predominantly Greek Revival structure featured Doric columns and a New England-style bell tower and was completed in just 19 months.

Tours of the church crypt offer visitors a look at the tombs of John Adams, John Quincy Adams and their wives.

56

SPRING 2019 | SOUTH SHORE - HOME, LIFE & STYLE

Directly across the street from the Church of the Presidents is the recently restored Quincy City Hall, built in 1844 and designed by architect Solomon Willard. Willard had been the first choice to construct the UFPC in 1826, but he was busy building the Bunker Hill Monument in Charlestown at the time (itself made of Quincy granite) and had to turn down the job. Ultimately, he supervised construction of what is now known as Old City Hall. Highly praised for its classical themes and punctuated by its Ionic columns, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Right next to Quincy City Hall is one of the most historic burial places in the United States. Hancock Cemetery is home to the gravestones of Colonial residents as well as veterans of the Revolutionary War, War of 1812 and the Civil War. John Adams and his wife Abigail as well as John Quincy Adams were once buried here but were moved and reinterred in the crypt inside the Church of the Presidents. One can still see a large marker for “JQ Adams� on the family tomb, even though his remains were removed from this spot four years after his passing.

Holly Hill Farm teaches teens the basics of sustainable agriculture—and giving back.

FARMING

n an unseasonably warm day in early February, with temperatures nudging 60 degrees, five student volunteers trudge through the muddy paths at Holly Hill Farm in Cohasset. They are each pushing a wheelbarrow full of brittle leaves down the mucky slope, which would typically be frozen, or at least hard-packed, this time of year. But there isn’t a complaint among these teens— jacketless and smiling in the sunshine. They are here for the Farm-to-Food Pantry Program (F2FP), one of Holly Hill Farm’s many educational programs, which has provided fresh organic produce to local food pantries for eight years.

Leading the pack, Jon Belber, the education director at the farm, parks his wheelbarrow next to a half-dozen compost piles and directs his young charges to set their burdens down for the moment. “We’ll come back for these in just a minute,” says Belber. “First, let’s take a look at how our composting is going.”

The students examine the status of the compost piles.

Each has a miniature signpost sticking out from the top with the date that decomposition process began.

While the newest mound contains recognizable vegetable peels and egg shells, the oldest pile appears like a simple pile of earth. Belber grabs a shovel and turns over a scoopful to show the kids the earthworms wriggling through the soil.

“This is a good sign,” he explains. “We’re making healthy fertilizer that we can use to help our plants grow.”

Considered Cohasset’s last working farm, Holly Hill Farm has been home to various forms of agriculture since the 17th century, cultivated by seven generations of the White family. Located on scenic Jerusalem Road, 120 of the farm’s 140 acres have been protected as conservation land since 1980.

In 2000, the White family formalized its commitment to sustainable farming practices and received an organic certification from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In 2002, the Friends of Holly Hill Farm was established to manage the farm and educate the public via outreach

programs, such as F2FP. As the education director for Holly Hill Farm, Belber has established relationships with 40 schools in Massachusetts, and has worked with teachers to bring real-life lessons from the farm into the classroom. A customized curriculum, educational excursions to the farm and teacher training workshops are available. Belber also makes frequent visits to school gardens, teaching students about planting, daily care, and harvesting techniques. In many cases, the food grown in these gardens is cooked in the schools’ kitchens and served to the students/gardeners in their cafeterias.

Back on the path with their wheelbarrows, the F2FP participants make their way down the hill, and stop at one of the farm’s 20 outdoor garden beds to heave leaves over last season’s tomatoes. “We’re using these leaves as a mulch to keep the nutrient-rich soil in place,” says Belber. Next, the group ducks into one of the farm’s four “hoop house” greenhouses.

Inside, protected by a plastic covering, the crops are thriving. Rows of spicy arugula, green and red leaf lettuce, spinach and kale carpet the ground. Crouching over a row of small shoots, Belber demonstrates the process of winter scratch weeding: gently scraping the soil around each individual plant to promote growth and moisture retention.

The vibrant color of the greens is a striking contrast to the leafless landscape outside. These steel-frame covered structures extend Holly Hill Farm’s growing season to nearly year-round. A wood stove in the corner of the greenhouse keeps the crops from freezing during cold snaps. “[The greens] grow slower in the winter, but we’re still able to grow,” says Belber, who harvested 40 pounds of arugula to sell at one of the local winter farmers’ markets.

FARMING

Helping the Farm-to-Table Movement Reach Every Table During the peak farming months, particularly in the summer when school is not in session, the number of Holly Hill Farm’s F2FP volunteers grows to 10 per week. Teens ranging in age from 13 to 18 have the opportunity to learn the nitty-gritty of organic farming by nurturing the crops at every stage of growth and, ultimately, reaping an understanding of the importance of providing fresh produce to those in need. In the process, these teens can fulfill their community service commitments for National Honor Society and other organizations.

“They’re able to participate in feeding some of the more vulnerable members of our community, and they’re taking part in every aspect of the project, from seed to harvest,” says Belber. Last year, close to 100 student volunteers participated in the F2FP, starting with the springtime tasks of building garden beds and planting seeds. Other duties included composting, cultivating, harvesting, cleaning and prepping vegetables for delivery to food pantries, and putting the gardens to bed at the end of the season.

Even though we’re delivering in small amounts, it’s still making a difference. Fresh produce, especially organic produce, isn’t always available at food pantries.

— Jon Belber Throughout the growing season, F2FP distributed 1,000 pounds of organic produce to local food pantries, as well as to Father Bill’s & Mainspring in Quincy and Wellspring Multi-Service Center in Hull. Deliveries depend on what’s ripe and ready for harvest, including a variety of greens, herbs, garlic, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, onions, asparagus, and an array of root vegetables. “Even though we’re delivering in small amounts, it’s still making a difference,” says Belber. “Fresh produce, especially organic produce, isn’t always available at food pantries.”

Last spring, Belber took F2FP on the road, riding his bicycle from Cohasset to Boston with a bag of carrot seeds on his back. Along the way, he stopped at local schools he’d been collaborating with and helped students plant the seeds in their school gardens. Throughout the spring and summer, the students tended their carrot crops until it was time to harvest and deliver the crop to local food pantries in September. Belber hopes to make the ride an annual event. His goal is to teach the next generation the value of giving back—from the ground-up.

An archaeological dig site at Plymouth’s Burial Hill unearths evidence of an early Pilgrim settlement.

HISTORY

It was the last day of the 2018 archaeology dig on Burial Hill in Plymouth. Students were sifting through the soil looking for artifacts and detritus from the original Pilgrim settlement. All of a sudden, the quiet sounds of scraping were replaced by excited shouts of surprise: they had found something—and it was big.

“There’s an old archaeology joke that you always find something on the very last day,” chuckles David Landon, one of the dig’s project directors. “This year, our last-day artifact was a big piece of plate iron. We exposed a small section of it and at first it looked like some kind of iron artifact—maybe a shovel or hoe. It turned out to be an unusually large piece of sheet iron.”

For Landon’s team, a find of this type is exceptional. The student excavators were excited. They hoped the artifact might be a breast plate or some other form of armor because of its size. However, they now believe it to be raw material that a blacksmith would have used to make iron implements.

“What it was doing at this location is not known because this site was not a blacksmith shop,” says Landon. “The best we can determine, it was a merchant’s home and the owner may have been planning to use the sheet iron in trade.”

Landon is the associate director of the Andrew Fiske Memorial Center for Archaeological Research and an adjunct associate professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Massachusetts Boston. He leads the dig—formally titled the Plymouth Colony Archaeological Survey—with Dr. Christa Beranek. The two lead a team of about 20 student archaeologists whose goal is to find artifacts from the original Pilgrim settlement in the hopes of pinpointing the exact location of the village nearly 400 years ago.

The best we can determine, it was a merchant’s home and the owner may have been planning to use the sheet iron in trade.

Launched in 2015, the Plymouth Colony Archaeological Survey is a collaboration between the University of Massachusetts Boston, Plimoth Plantation and the town of Plymouth. The survey team is based at Plimoth Plantation while conducting fieldwork and uses the museum’s collections as a resource for artifact identification and analysis.

The team return to the dig site each June and work for about a month. While it may seem like a short amount of time to be looking for artifacts, their findings keep Landon and his students busy for the rest of the year. “For every hour that we dig, we spend up to seven hours studying and researching everything we’ve found,” he says.

The survey site, which is located on Burial Hill at the edge of School Street, has produced numerous artifacts that date to different points in time, including stone tools used by Native Americans, pieces of Pilgrim pottery and even pen nibs from the 19th century when there was a school on the hill.

HISTORY

Among the 17th-century artifacts being studied are musket balls, pieces of a smoking pipe and other pottery, trade beads and a lead-stamped seal that had been crimped to a bolt of cloth, dating from the reign of Charles I (1625-49). The dig even turned up a calf’s skeleton that had been butchered.

The research team hopes that in time they will be able to definitively locate the original fort and even the palisade that protected it. In 2017, the dig located several post holes that were believed to be part of the wooden wall that surrounded the village, but the holes turned out to be pillars for buildings.

“We’ve narrowed down what was inside and outside the settlement but we’re still looking for the palisade,” says Landon. “The post holes we found are definitely from a structure that was part It was at this 17th-century home site that the sheet iron was discovered. Measuring about 1 1/2 by 3 feet, the corroded metal plate was found in a small cellar with a cobblestone floor. Other

of the original settlement.”

artifacts located at the site included glazed earthenware such as borderware and redware, and the lead seal.

“The lead disc is stamped on both sides,” says Landon. “It was used to indicate where the cloth was made or if the taxes were paid. It’s important because it helps us date what we’ve found.” with the utmost professional bearing, he gets as excited as a kid in a candy store when he thinks about the implications of his research. “We’re working in an area that could have been the home

The Plymouth Colony Archaeological Survey is supported by a three-year $300,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. However, Landon is working to secure additional funding so that his team can continue to dig for artifacts through 2020. His team is working with Plimoth Plantation to develop an artifact exhibit that will be open to the public next year.

As Plymouth and surrounding communities prepare to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the Mayflower in 2020, Landon’s team hopes this year’s dig will uncover more

The Ultimate Country Road Old Sandwich Road, which winds through The Pinehills, is the oldest unpaved road in continuous use in the country. The route dates back to the days of the Pilgrims but the path was in use long before that when it was a trail traveled by Native Americans for thousands of years.

Plymouth’s Other Rock Located on Old Sandwich Road there is a boulder known as Sacrifice Rock that has been a stopping-off point for travelers over the centuries, perhaps millennia. For generations, members of the local Wampanoag tribe would pause at “Manittoo Asseinah” to offer a simple sacrifice of pebbles, branches and pinecones to ensure safe passage.

Wine Pairing Cheat Sheet

By Ralph Hersom

Serve White Wine Before Red This is usually the natural progression of most wine-pairing dinners. It is best to begin with some type of sparkling or lighter white wine before moving onto red wines.

Dry Whites Before Sweet Whites A good example of this would be sauvignon blanc before riesling. If the order were switched, the sauvignon blanc taste and flavor would be masked by the sweetness of the riesling making it seem almost too bitter or tart. For a successful dessert pairing, be sure that the wine is sweeter than the dessert being served.

Lighter-Bodied Wines Before Fuller-Bodied Wines Pour a pinot noir before a cabernet sauvignon, for example. If the order were switched, the pinot noir would taste thin and diluted in comparison to the heavy red. If you’re drinking white wines, sip a sauvignon blanc before chardonnay.

WINE & DINE

The When and Why of Decanting Almost all wines, whether white or red, benefit from some type of aeration. Simply pulling the cork does nothing to help a wine breathe. I like to tell my customers, “you need to let the genie out of the bottle for the magic to happen.” Young wines benefit from the extra aeration allowing them to become more approachable, and older wines need decanting to remove the sediment that has resulted as part of the aging process.

I am often asked my thoughts on an aerator and while I don’t use one, as I prefer a decanter all of the time, they are great to help a young wine breathe in a short amount of time. My only caution would be to make sure the wine you are aerating does not have any sediment otherwise you will be creating the “wave effect” as I like to call it, making the wine muddied.

Proper Temperature is Key I assist lots of collectors with their wine cellars, from buying and selling wines to helping to oversee construction. The perfect cellar conditions for the long-term storage of fine wines is a room that is void of any sunlight with a temperature of 55 degrees and 70 percent humidity. Folks with wine refrigerators can dial in that temperature. I like to pop white wines in the refrigerator prior to serving to bring the temperature down a bit further; and I let sparkling wines chill the longest. I like to enjoy reds directly from the cellar and allow them to warm gradually in the glass. Lighter reds, like pinot noir or Gamay-based Beaujolais can also be put in the refrigerator prior to serving for a few more degrees of chill time, especially during the

Glassware Size Matters I am not a fan of stemless glasses—there, I said it!

The whole purpose of a stem on a wine glass is to keep your warm hand away from the bowl of the glass so the wine doesn’t warm too quickly. My brand of choice is Riedel’s Sommelier Series, the famous Austrian glass company. Some of my fine wine-collecting buddies prefer Zalto, which are excellent glasses, albeit very expensive.

Favorite Flavor Combinations

By Ralph Hersom

Goat Cheese Fleur Verte Chevre, an herb-coated goat cheese from France, is best enjoyed with a crisp wine with a high acidity. 2017 Jerome Godon Sancerre, made from 100 percent sauvignon blanc grapes from the Loire Valley, France, is a great choice. This wine features the classic sauvignon blanc aromas of green grass but it is slightly more herbaceous.

Sheep’s Milk Cheese A great Spanish sheep’s milk cheese like La Marquesa Manchego deserves a delicious wine, such as a 2014 Vina Real Crianza Rioja, made from predominantly tempranillo grapes grown in Rioja Spain and aged in a combination of French and American oak for 13-14 months. This wine features aromas of ripe fruits (blackberries and black currants) with great structure, a hint of oak and spice and a lingering finish.

Cheddar Cheese I love to pair a well-aged cheddar cheese like Prairie Breeze (Iowa) with a full-bodied Grenache-based red with velvety tannins. Try the 2011 Chateau Henri Bonnaud Palette Rouge, made from a blend of grenache, mourvèdre and carignan grapes grown in the oldest and smallest appellation of Provence called Palette. This wine has been aged in French oak for 18 months and features aromas of red fruits like raspberries and red cherries, with herbal notes of juniper, thyme, rosemary and lavender.

WINE & DINE

Dark Chocolates If enjoying dark chocolates, like 72-percentcocoa Cambra chocolate seashells from Puopolo Candies, I would suggest a 2011 Taylor LBV Port. Made from a blend of touriga francesa, touriga nacional and tinta roriz grapes that grow in the Douro Valley in Portugal, this port has a very floral nose with aromas of black cherries and cassis with flavors of dark chocolate and raspberries. It is a pure pleasure to drink when paired with dark chocolate. The Taylor’s brand was a pioneer of the LBV (Late Bottle Vintage) category of wines, which are bottled after four to six years and is ready to drink when bottled.

Strawberries Dipped in Chocolate Red fruit-based desserts, such as strawberries dipped in chocolate, pair best with a celebratory dessert wine like the 2017 La Gironda Brachetto d’Acqui. Made from Brachetto grapes grown in the Piedmont region of Italy, this sparkling wine (which by law cannot be higher that 5.5 percent alcohol) has aromas and flavors of red fruits like strawberries and raspberries, and is absolutely refreshing.

A Menu of Many Flavors

By Ralph Hersom

Wines made from pinot gris grapes are some of the most versatile and consequently pair well with meals featuring a spread of different types of food. One of my favorites is the 2016 G. Metz Pinot Gris, which is made of pinot gris grapes from Alsace, France. The wine sees no oak aging and has aromas of white flowers and a hint of spice along with flavors of pear and apple.

Featured Dishes Brussels sprouts with red onion, black summer truffle peelings, truffle oil and Parmesan cheese A duet of beans topped with Gorgonzola dulce fondue, caramelized walnuts, French walnut oil, pomegranate seeds and caramelized onions Carrot hummus with Za’atar spice and roasted multigrain chips Fried South African peppers stuffed with braised pork shoulder and fried tomatillos Fresh ricotta gnudi with kale pesto and Marcona almonds

REBEL BURGER BAR GOES RETRO A NEW KINGSTON EATERY DELIVERS A FAMILY-FRIENDLY DINING EXPERIENCE AND A HEAVY DOSE OF NOSTALGIA.

By Maria Allen Photography by Kjeld Mahoney

After dishing up elegantly plated Italian cuisine all week long at Orta in Pembroke, chef/ owner Brett Williams is usually in the mood for one thing—a great burger. When he heard about a new restaurant opportunity in Kingston, where he lives with his family, he decided to take a leap of faith and opened Rebel Burger Bar in November.

“Our goal is to serve honest, high-quality meals with a fun, retro atmosphere that reminds guests of a time when they were young,” says Williams. For people who grew up during the 80s, visiting Rebel Burger Bar is a blast from the past. Retro stickers and decals from iconic television shows, rock bands and movies decorate the bar top (think “Ghostbusters,” “Garfield” and Pee Wee Herman’s favorite teal armchair, “Chairry”.

Posters for cult-classic films like “Footloose” and “Pretty in Pink” don the walls and tabletops—there’s even a vintage (non-functioning) pay phone.

As one might assume, burgers are central to the menu. Each “smash burger” is made with organic, pasture-raised beef that is sourced from a small farm in Maine and cooked to perfection. The burgers are juicy, well-seasoned and adorned with delicious toppings. Signature burgers are named for famous “rebels,” such as the Billy’s Idol, which is topped with drunken mushrooms, aged cheddar cheese, truffle oil and arugula, or the Norma Jean, a grain-fed turkey burger layered with jalapeno, red onion, cilantro and fresh greens. Other favorites include the David Hasselhoff, which comes with two patties, American cheese, smoked bacon, pickles and whisky barbecue sauce. Vegetarians can opt for the Moboogie Mama Burger, a Beyond veggie burger topped with avocado, pickled red onion, lime cilantro mayo and smoked gouda (this “burger” looks and tastes so real, you won’t believe it’s not meat). Guests can order a side of fries or bucket o’ tots with “mysterious sauces” for dipping.

The menu also includes fresh salads and savory appetizers like buffalo-fried cauliflower and homemade fried pickles served with ranch dressing. Dialing up the drink menu are craft beers, creative cocktails and adult milkshakes that pay homage to childhood snack-cakes. The Almond Joy, for example, is made with Baileys Irish Cream, Malibu Rum and vanilla ice cream and garnished with a giant coconut-covered Sno Ball, while the Mississippi Mudslide combines Baileys Irish Cream, Tito’s vodka, Kahlua, and coffee ice cream topped with a Little Debbie Swiss Roll.

Owners Brett and Cara have young children of their own and specifically designed Rebel Burger Bar so that it would be casual and welcoming to families. It’s the kind of place where parents can feel comfortable stopping in after picking their kids up from a soccer or baseball game without getting a sideways glance. There’s a “Rebels in Training” menu with simple burgers, crispy chicken fingers and old-fashioned grilled cheese sandwiches—not to mention ice cream bowls for dessert and a Ms. Pac-Man arcade machine in the back room. Though, the kids may have some friendly competition from mom and dad.

Simcha Dishes Up Modern Israeli Cuisine Chef Avi Shemtov, creator of the popular Chubby Chickpea food truck (based in Canton) as well as the Tapped Beer Truck, is helping to shake up the dining scene south of Boston with his new restaurant Simcha. The Sharon eatery opened on March 5 and serves globally inspired modern Israeli cuisine that utilizes the bounty of New England farms. “We call it Israeli soul food with a New England accent,” says Shemtov, whose own family heritage inspired the restaurant’s concept (Simcha—the Hebrew word for “joy”— was the name of his Turkish grandmother).

Simcha features Jerusalem limestone walls and a custombuilt wood-fired oven that is perfect for baking pita bread. The menu honors the vibrant and colorful cross-cultural flavors behind Sephardic Jewish cuisine, including Turkish, Arabic, Persian, Northern African, Iberian and other culinary influences that shape modern Israeli food. Fresh ingredients are sourced locally whenever possible. Herbs and produce from Ward’s Berry Farm in Sharon are used to craft dishes like Moroccan carrots and heirloom bumble bee beans, grown in Maine, which are used to make the restaurant’s Alt Hummus.

Watch for shakshuka brunches (a dish of eggs poached in a sauce of tomatoes, chili peppers, garlic and other ingredients) and seasonal dishes such as venison kibbe nayyeh, zaatar lobster rolls and scallop and apple rosti with local bacon and crème fraiche.
