Want s’mores — The Hippo — 10/26/23

John Fladd considers the s’more — that warm, gooey, crunchy, melty blend of marshmallow, chocolate and graham cracker that would go so perfectly with a late October campfire — from all angles, getting experts to weigh in on the perfect chocolate, the various approaches to marshmallow and even how to build a good fire. Along the way, he offers other recipes that bring those familiar flavors together, rounding it all off with a s’mores martini.

Also on the cover Michael Witthaus talks to comedian Steve Bjork, who will bring the laughs to Murphy’s Taproom in Manchester on Saturday, Oct. 28 (see the story on page 33). Find more comedy shows in the Comedy This Week listings on page 38. Author Jodi Picoult comes to the Palace Theatre (page 18). Jals Cuisine Bantu brings African cuisine to Nashua (page 27).

In defense of bats! — 23/10/12

Bats — they’re a great Halloween decoration. But real-world bats are already focused on winter — whether it’s migrating south or snuggling up in a cave or barn. And New Hampshire’s bats are still dealing with their own scary situation in the form of white-nose syndrome. In this week’s cover, we look at the state of local bats and what people can do to lend a hand (wing?) to these mammalian mosquito eaters.

Also on the cover The curtain rises on Kinky Boots at the Palace Theatre (page 14). Pick your own pumpkin — for decoration or pie (page 21). Goffstown celebrates the season with its annual Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off and Regatta (page 19).
