PB & J — 03/23/23

The traditional peanut butter and jelly sandwich that says comfort, nostalgia and a quick meal takes several twists when John Fladd brings those flavors to cake, souffle, pancakes (pictured), sorbet, a breakfast sandwich and even cocktails. And if you’re looking to keep the standard form but still experiment a little with the flavors, Matt Ingersoll looks at jams and jellies made locally.

Also on the cover An upcoming spotlight on local female musicians (April 1 at SNHU) is the focus of this week’s Arts section, which starts on page 15 and also highlights theater, visual arts and classical music events this weekend. Also showcasing women in music is an event for four rising stars of the local music scene at Shaskeen in Manchester on Saturday, March 25. And speaking of rising stars, Matt Ingersoll talks to Chef Chris Viaud about his newest restaurant. This week’s food section, which starts on page 24, also takes a look at the new breakfast menu at Shaker Road Provisions in Concord.

Time to get chickens? — 03/09/23

If egg inflation or a DIY backyard farmer spirit has you thinking about adding chickens to your spring and summer outdoor plans, check out this chicken primer by Angie Sykeny, who discusses chicken chores, chicken costs and some of the hazards.

Also on the cover: Saint Patrick’s Day is next Friday, March 17, so make those plans for corned beef or colcannon now; see page 25 for a rundown of area eateries and their Irish cuisine plans. Beyond chickens, a place to consider your spring and summer outdoor plans may be the New Hampshire Outdoor Expo this weekend in Milford; Mya Blanchard has the details on page 17.
