When diners walk into Royal II Restaurant and Grill in Yarmouth Port, owner Paul Bolanos greets them with a smile and an appetizer-sized slice of Paul s Cheese Pizza. I can t tell you exactly how it s made, says Bolanos, who opened the Mediterranean-style family eatery eight years ago. But I will say we grow our own herbs in season, dry them on top of the pizza oven and layer them on to the pie.
In addition to herbs you might expect to find on pizza oregano and basil, for example Bolanos signature pizza uses rosemary, sage, thyme, even mint for a pie that delivers tomato-cheese goodness on a crunchy thin crust with bursts of herby flavor.

Our forests and woodlands should be preserved and protected
Recently, most towns on Cape Cod declared a Climate Emergency through a town meeting vote. Why? Because as we experience extreme weather events like the tornado of 2019, learn about the drastic loss of marine life like Right Whales and observe sea level rising at each high tide, we identify with other coastal communities around the globe that have faced utter disaster. And we know that more is coming
Our penchant for economic growth and development at all costs allows woodlands to be clear cut by off-Cape developers who sell us solar arrays in Sandwich, Falmouth and possibly down Cape. Or by the Massachusetts National Guard at Joint Base Cape Cod, which proposes to clear cut 171 acres of pine barrens forest that sits on top of our sole source aquifer!
As the Edward Gorey House in Yarmouth Port opens for 2021, director/curator Gregory Hischak issues a warning label on its main exhibit.
And, he says, “we urge that no emotional attachments be made to these children.”
It could be an important caution for those just discovering the writer/illustrator who long lived in this house-turned-museum just off Route 6A. Fans, though, already know that, as Hischak puts it, “children rarely fare well” in the “surreal universe” of Gorey’s 116 books and various other works published between 1953 and his death in 2000.
Gorey was, after all, once quoted as saying “I’ve been murdering children in my books for years.”
