Historic Civil War Re-enactment at Fort Adams
Saturday/Sunday May 18 & 19 2013
There's a lot to do in Newport today!
Flame and smoke belching from cannons, officers shouting commands and soldiers clashing in mock combat...
at The Fort Adams Annual Civil War Living History Weekend.
Two exciting and informative days of history and action bring the sights and sounds of the Civil War to Newport's Historic Fort Adams this weekend.
Events begin at 10 a.m. on both days and include re-enactors carrying out dramatic simulations of assaults on Fort Adams, as well as re-creations of the daily life of soldiers and civilians during the 1860s.
Throughout the day soldiers and civilians in authentic 19th century uniforms and dress will invite the public to spend a day in their life. According to Rob McCormack, Director of the Visitor Experience at Fort Adams, "You'll experience the sights, sounds and smells of an earlier age. You can engage in learning about everything from military tactics to cooking and family life during the Civil War."
Re-enactors from all over New England and beyond are participating, representing soldiers from the Union and the Confederacy. A "Unity Village" of civilian re-enactors from both sides will share life experiences. As Rob notes, "Our Civil War Living History Weekend is a chance for families to truly immerse themselves in a place and time crucial to our country's history and interact with historical figures."
The two day schedule is filled with artillery and troop drills, dress parades, medical and surgical demonstrations, lectures, historic displays, camp life, and battles. According to Michael Pine, re-enactor, Fort Adams Trust Guide, and senior officer with the Newport Artillery Company, "You can spend as long as you like amongst the re-enactors, asking questions and observing the various exercises and demonstrations. You're welcome to experience the Union and Confederate camps as soldiers prepare for and relax after battle. Or talk to the officers at headquarters as they strategize about the day's action."
There will be hands-on activities as well, including a daily historical Scavenger Hunt with the opportunity to win prizes.

Italian Receipe - Pickled Eggplant - Villa 120 Newport RI B&B
Yankee Wood Club, 1941 Cadillac, 1949 Packard
One of the great pluses about owning a B&B is that you meet some wonderful people along the way and with these wonderful people come traditions, memories and of course receipes! This lovely lady stayed with her husband and friends from the New England Yankee Wood Club about a month ago and we enjoyed the boys fabulous cars (1941 Cadillac & 1949 Packard) and now we can enjoy this ladies receipe - note it is great for a picnic - so come to Villa 120 - bring a picnic, wine and then drive to Ocean Drive sit by the ocean and simply enjoy!
Mangia with Micheline
In the mid 1950”s, my mother’s family decided that we needed to have a family reunion. The reunion would encompass the members of Bevelacqua and Iantosco families. My Great Grandmother Antoinetta Iantosco had three children, Uncle Mike, Uncle Leo, and my Grandmother, Michelina. Uncle Mike and Aunt Fanny had 3 children, Uncle Leo and Aunt Frances had 2 children, and my Grandmother and Grandfather had 8 children; who all had children, some of which had children of their own. So you can see this was no small event, it was a major undertaking! All of the aunts and married cousins would meet once a month for coffee and dessert, to organize the reunions. The meetings served a dual purpose; it was social gatherings that keep the family close and of course they were the planning sessions for the event. All the women paid dues that went toward the expense of the affair and they meet at different homes each month. On occasion I accompanied my mother, and remember one October meeting where they dressed in costume and partied while planning. Seeing my mother dressed as a little girl, wearing a yellow yarn pigtail wig and riding a tri-cycle is a sight I will never forget. I called my Aunt Tessie to reminisce and add some details to family planning sessions. She remembered that the meetings were held on a night that she would miss her favorite TV show, which my mother said was Peyton Place. We held the reunions are the Club 400 (where the West Valley Inn is located now). It was a great place, because we would go into the restaurant for a sit down dinner, and then go across the parking lot to the field to play games and later we would have hamburgers and hot dogs. There was only one hall back in the day and the rest of land was large enough to play baseball. Best of all in was private! We would have three-legged races, toss eggs (raw) to each other widening the distance with each toss, and pass the orange from chin to chin. There were games for the kids and for the adults. It was great fun. The reunions continued on a yearly basis until the early 1970’s. This summer, some of my cousins have arranged another reunion, and in this day of social media they have turned to Face Book to spread the word. I’m not sure how this will work as not all the family has a computer or if they do; are they on Face Book? I guess I’m just an old fashion kind of gal, but I prefer the face to face social interactions when planning events. Not to mention that it’s nice to visit with the family. Since there is no rain date and it has been planned to be outdoors, I guess we have to hang the rosary beads on the clothes line over night to ask for fair weather. Does anyone still have a clothes line? I have a great recipe for pickled eggplant to take as a side dish to a picnic. It good because it does not need to be kept refrigerated during the picnic.

Pickled Eggplant
1 small eggplant
1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed
1/2 red, yellow, orange pepper, sliced into thin strips
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup virgin olive oil
Peel eggplant, slice in half, then into thin slices, turn the eggplant and slice into thin match like sticks. Place eggplant in a strainer, salt, and place a plate over it with a weigh on top of it.(can of tomatoes works great). Let stand for about 1 hour. Rinse and pat the eggplant dry. Place in a bowl with the remaining ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate over night and it’s ready to serve, either cold or room temperature.

The Art of Henna & History - Villa 120 Bridal B&B, Wedding Venue
Having just had an Indian bridal party here and having observed the traditional henna painting of the Bride and Bridal party I thought it would be nice to give you a little information about the tradition.
I am now sporting henna on my hand and have been astounded at the comments, interest and compliments this traditional art has had on people I meet.
What is Henna?
Henna is a plant which grows in the tropical climates of Africa, northern Australia, and southern Asia. Its leaves contain a pigment called lawsone which combines with proteins to cause staining. Because of this staining quality, Henna has been used throughout the ages to dye hair and create body art designs.
Origin of Mehandi
It is thought that Mehandi originated in the deserts of India when the people living there discovered that covering their hands and feet with colored paste from the Henna plant helped them to feel cooler. It wasn't long until a creative individual began making intricate designs with the colored paste instead of just smearing it on. The complexity of designs grew and began to take on meaning. Eventually brides began to decorate their feet and hands with henna as part of their wedding rituals.
Many other Mehandi traditions developed over time. For example, women's hands were decorated with henna at childbirth because women with intricate Mehandi designs did little household labor so as not to destroy their body art. Tattooing women's hands at weddings and childbirth allowed them a few weeks where they could bond with the new husband or new baby and not be bothered with daily household chores. The tattoos were also thought to bestow blessings and good luck.

The Art and History of Henna as Bodyart
The use of Henna for body art is several centuries old at least. The people of ancient Egypt and India used this form of temporary tattoo for religious ceremonies, wedding festivals, and for simple body adornment.What is Henna?

Yankee Wood Club, 1941 Cadillac, 1949 Packard, Venue, Bed and Breakfast, Hotel, Lodging, Newport / Middletown Rhode Island, Villa 120
Yesterday started off as a normal Sunday here at Villa 120 - breakfast for delightful guests, chatting with guest, saying our farewells and cleaning up. Then came a surprise phone call from a wonderful guest who visited last weekend - because of rain they were unable to bring their 1940's cars but yesterday the sun was shining so they decided to surprise me and visit - I can now say besides from the cars being simply marvellous I felt that I have made new friends after the three hour visit.
We all sat on the porch in the beautiful sunshine and exchanged stories - we laughed, gasped and just simply had a wonderful afternoon.
This is the bonus of being a B&B owner, you meet the most extraordinary people and some of the special ones stay in your lives for a very long time!
Here are the photos of these magnificant cars - life is good!
