GRANITE VIEWS JODY REESE

Giving thanks

I have a photo on my wall of a little girl working on a loom with a man standing behind her. The photo was probably taken in the late 1880s in one of Manchester’s mills. Maybe even in the mill I work in. The pictured mill girl is, maybe, a few years older than my seven-year-old daughter.

Every once in a while, that mill girl photo will catch my eye as I walk by and I’ll think about her life compared to my daughter’s. I’ll think about how that mill girl’s job put her in harm’s way every day and how her parents must have struggled with putting her to work. How bad did things have to be for her to be working at that age?

While our state still faces lots of challenges and we have much to improve, it’s also important to acknowledge just how far we’ve come.

As our political worlds seem to get even more divided each side casts the outcome as almost apocalyptic. This Thanksgiving many of us will be sitting around a table with relatives and friends who don’t share our party affiliations or political beliefs and yet we’ll find a way to be nice to each other. Rather than talking about what divides us or complaining about who might have more, could we agree to give thanks for what we have and for all that is going right? And there are a lot of things going right. In fact, so many things are going right, so many things are positive and good, that it’s easy to not take note of them.

Here are just a few things that are going right that we should be thankful for: • The homeless veteran population declined 21 percent over last year, according to a new release from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. See the news brief on page 4 of this week’s issue.

• One hundred sixty kids got new shoes thanks to the folks at Brady Sullivan Properties. Girls Inc. and the New Hampshire YWCA each sent 80 kids to Finish Line Shoes in Merrimack, where Brady Sullivan employees helped the kids choose their shoes.

• Saint George’s Greek Orthodox Church in Manchester celebrated its biggest Glendi yet in 2019 — all thanks to hundreds of volunteers and support from the community. Glendi is a festival held annually at the church to celebrate Greek culture and food. It’s events like this that make our community our community.

While there is still much that needs to be done to improve the lives of many in our communities, we can still give thanks for all we have and for our continued willingness to reach out and help our neighbors.

NEWS & NOTES

Teva lawsuit

New Hampshire has signed on to a multi-state antitrust lawsuit against 20 generic drug manufacturers who allegedly took part in a price fixing conspiracy. In a Nov. 13 news release from the state attorney general’s office, AG Gordon MacDonald announced that the Granite State would be joining 47 states, two territories, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico in a suit that accuses Teva Pharmaceuticals, the world’s largest generic drug manufacturer, and 19 of its competitors of engaging in a broad conspiracy to artificially manipulate prices and reduce competition for more than 100 different generic drugs. Specifically, the release says that New Hampshire is alleging violations of laws related to the use of “unfair and deceptive” acts like price fixing of generic drugs sold to New Hampshire consumers. The lawsuit is seeking damages and an injunction that would “restore competition” in the generic drug market.

Fringe primary candidate Vermin Supreme, sporting the obligatory boot on his head, hit a roadblock on Nov. 15, according to Supreme’s campaign manager, when the iconic presidential hopeful attempted to file for candidacy in the New

Hampshire primary as a Libertarian. Supreme, who in the past has run as both a Democrat and a Republican on a platform of mandatory toothbrushing, free ponies and zombie preparedness, was informed by Secretary of State Bill Gardner that he would be unable to file as a Libertarian because it is not a recognized party in New Hampshire. As per a release from the campaign, Supreme instead filed for the Libertarian Party’s member-only Presidential Preference Primary, which will be held at the party’s Jan. 11, 2020, convention at the Holiday Inn in Concord.

Bring your own bags when you shop, or pay 10 cents for a plastic bag — those will likely be the two main options for shoppers if the state passes a ban on single-use plastic bags.

On Nov. 14, members of the House Municipal and County Government committee voted to move forward with HB 559, which would ban single-use plastic bags in favor of thicker, more durable plastic bags that businesses would be required to offer for 10 cents each, with a maximum charge of 50 cents per shopping trip. The bill would also ban paper bags that are made from anything less than 100 percent recycled paper.

The proposed legislation now heads to the full House of Representatives for a vote in January.

Rather than going to the state as a tax, the 10 cents would be kept by the retailer in order to cover the increased cost of both bags.

Co-sponsored by Rep. Judith Spang, D-Strafford, the legislation mirrors similar plastic bag bans in states like California and Hawaii that aim to curb plastic consumption by imposing a cost on consumption and offering thicker bags that are considered reusable.

“It’s got two justifications,” said Spang of the bill. “One is that we don’t want the stores to be disadvantaged by this — we want them to be able to cover the cost. However, they have to charge at least 10 cents, and the reason is that we’re trying to disincentivize using these little plastic bags.

We want them to be using heavier bags.”

For the shopper’s part, the idea is to make it inexpensive but also worthwhile.

“We want them to be enough so someone says, ‘You know what? It cost me enough money for this thing, so I’m going to reuse it. Every time I go to the store, I don’t want to have to buy another one,’” Spang said.

Noting that she regularly reuses these thicker plastic bags to carry everything from casseroles to art supplies, Spang said she thinks their proliferation will reduce overall demand for single-use bags, thereby reducing the volume of plastic waste.

“Say someone uses it 50 times,” said Spang of the thicker bags. “That’s better than having 50 of those little flimsy bags that are just used once and thrown away.”

Plastic bag pollution

129082

HIPPO | NOVEMBER 21 - 27, 2019 | PAGE 6

Due to their flimsy structure, single-use shopping bags can’t be thrown into curbside recycling bins because transfer station machinery where curbside recyclables are processed can’t handle them. And while nearly all grocery stores have barrels where patrons can return plastic shopping bags, data from Waste Management estimates that just one percent of the 100 billion plastic bags Americans use each year end up being recycled.

As a result, most of these bags will end up in waterways, landfills or other natural landscapes, and University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension and New Hampshire Sea Grant fish-

eries specialist Dr. Gabby Bradt says they will never fully degrade there.

“It is a synthetic that’s made of a bunch of different polymers and chemical components,” Bradt said. “They aren’t aren’t like apples that biodegrade in a hot compost in a week. [Plastics] will mechanically and chemically break down, but they don’t disappear.”

Bradt has spent the last several years leading a research initiative to better gauge the types, sources and totality of microplastic pollution (plastic particles one to five millimeters in size) on coastal beaches. Overall, she said, her research has found that plastic films like the material used in single-use bags make up the third most common source of pollution behind harder plastics and Styrofoam.

How plastic particles in the ocean impact the broader food web remains unsettled science, according to Bradt, but preliminary laboratory studies on shrimp and other shellfish have observed leaching of plastic chemicals into muscle tissue, as well as adverse impacts on reproductive systems, spawning habits and lifespans.

“While it may be out of sight and out of mind, it’s not gone,” Bradt said of ocean microplastic pollution.

Retailers’ perspective

John Dumais, president and CEO of the New Hampshire Grocers Association, testified at the bill’s Nov. 5 committee hearing that 10-cent fees on single-use bags could hurt the sales of the 60 percent of New Hampshire grocers in rural areas.

“Ten cents a bag will be about the cost for the large-volume supermarkets and retailers, but the small mom-and-pop stores are going to pay more than that and they can’t pass that on to their consumers,” Dumais said in a phone interview. “It’s going to eat into their profits and that’s going to hurt their survival.”

Beyond that, Dumais said he’s skeptical that implementing a fee will be enough to curb the overall consumption of plastics, pointing to a 2016 bag ban in California that he says drove an increase in sales of trash bags as people sought replacements for single-use bags that are commonly repurposed for small wastebaskets.

“They’ve had a bag ban in place for some time and it’s not working,” Dumais said. “They’re saying that people are replacing [single-use] bags by going to buy the heavier, thicker Glad kitchen trash bags in the stores.”

Although Bradt said she can’t speak to whether the proposed bag ban would be an effective way to curb plastic pollution, she said ongoing awareness of the problem is what’s needed to address what she calls an “addiction to convenience” that drives single-use plastic consumption.

“The more this is on people’s radar, the more that they’re aware of their own consumption habits, the more people kind of start to sit up, pay attention and make a personal choice to diminish their dependence on plastics or not,” Bradt said.

NEWS & NOTES Q&A

City Year on the move

New headquarters, more housing for AmeriCorps members City Year, a branch of AmeriCorps that focuses on helping struggling schools, is preparing to relocate its New Hampshire headquarters in Manchester from Elm Street to Manchester Street. The new building comes with 15 workforce housing units that will provide living space for as many as 20 AmeriCorps members during their terms of service in the community. Senior vice president and executive director of City Year New Hampshire Pawn Nitichan talks about what this move means for City Year and its work within the Greater Manchester community.

Can you explain how [AmericCorps and City Year] are related?

The biggest umbrella related to AmeriCorps and City Year is the federal Corporation for National and Community Service. Under that, there are various funding umbrellas. AmeriCorps is one of them; Senior Corps is another one. I’m sure you’ve heard of Peace Corps, because it’s been around for a long time. AmeriCorps is a funding umbrella with hundreds, if not thousands, of member programs and City Year is one of the largest member programs. To be a member means that we apply and compete for federal funding that comes through the Corporation for National and Community Service to AmeriCorps and then to City Year.

Could you give us some insight into the work that AmeriCorps is currently doing in Manchester?

Basically there are a couple dozen AmeriCorps programs in our state. City Year is the largest program and it’s focused on supporting struggling and financially limited schools. The way that we work is that our members go out together in teams and get partnered with teachers in specific classrooms of specific schools. They really help to get kids who are falling behind back on track.

There’s other programs ... but what they have in common is the utilization of full-time members who get small stipends. Most of our members are college graduates and they are choosing to do the work because they are inspired to provide assistance to our students and communities.

What was the impetus behind the relocation of the City Year headquarters and construction of the living units for members?

When City Year started looking for a new building to rent, we knew it was going to be really challenging because so many places that are downtown are totally beyond our price point. So we began to look at space further from downtown, but we wrestled with that because the energy that we bring to the downtown would be taken away.

We talked to our friends and let people know we were looking for a space and landlords who might value our work and desire to stay downtown. Matt and Jody Wilhelm are friends of City Year’s, and they are the [ones who] purchased the building, agreed to rent it to us for a reasonable price and told us it had office space and dormitory housing spaces upstairs. AmeriCorps members are always struggling to find reasonable housing, and Matt and Jody really love the idea of being able to help City Year by renting it to us for an affordable price

I know the stipend that AmeriCorps members get isn’t terribly large. Do you know what they currently do for housing?

Over the years, many of them would group together and share rooms Pawn Nitichan. Courtesy or apartments to make it photo. more affordable. I have to say that we are lucky to have landlords that have rented to our members over the years because they value the work that our members do. We have landlords that hold a space for our people because our members are usually here for nine months and not an entire year.

Rising rent costs are a big topic in Manchester and in a lot of cities throughout the country.

Is this model of trying to acquire your own dormitory space something that AmeriCorps is looking into on a national level?

Housing is a real challenge for us, particularly in a few communities. We are definitely exploring different ways to provide assistance to our members. I would say Manchester is among the more friendly locations in the country. There are people in some communities where donors provide supplemental support to members; there are negotiations with people who own a bunch of properties to give our members a deal and other various efforts.

129459

With that in mind, how do you think the new location and living spaces will change or improve the way your members work in the community?

First and foremost, it’s an opportunity for us to continue to be downtown and have our members be a presence in the community. The spot where we will be is not a well traveled space, so our hope is that we can bring a greater sense of positive energy to that corner of Manchester.

We’re excited about that unique contribution we can make to the community.

How is recruitment going these days? Does today’s generation of college graduates seem interested in volunteering with you folks?

As you would expect with an economy that’s pretty strong, the nonprofit sector faces the same impact that the private sector does in terms of recruitment. We work very diligently to have successes that we have and bring these young people to the community, but it’s very challenging. Definitely more challenging than when the economy was not as strong. — Travis R. Morin

Measurable flu activity in the state

New Hampshire is one of seven states where regional flu activity has already been recorded this season. In a Nov. 16 update from the Centers for Disease Control, New Hampshire was singled out for a geographic spread of the influenza virus. In the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services’ most recent influenza surveillance report for the week ending Nov. 2, the department reports that three of 254 specimens tested positive for the flu during the past week at clinical labs across the state.

Score: -1 Comment: It may seem early, but flu season officially started Sept. 29, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. Since that date, the clinical labs have detected a total of 14 cases of flu, and New Hampshire Public Health Laboratories have found three positive cases of flu in samples they’ve received from state-based health care providers and hospitals.

According to a Nov. 13 news release, the grocer is making the donations as part of a broader “Fuel Kids at School” program, which aims to combat food insecurity and improve access to healthy food for children.

Score: +1 Comment: As part of Hannaford’s initiative, the company says it plans to spend the next two years establishing 90 food pantries in schools across the Northeast, 12 of which will be established in low-income communities in New Hampshire in partnership with New Hampshire Hunger Solutions.

Nationwide scam crops up in Manchester

Quiche

Manchester Police are asking the public to be vigilant about a nationwide phone scam that has now been reported in the Queen City. In a Nov. 13 news release, police stated they’ve received multiple reports from residents who say they were contacted by someone purporting to be “Detective Lucas Hobbs of the Manchester Police Department,” who notified them that they had missed jury duty and had warrants out for their arrest. The victims were told to drive to the police station and turn themselves in. Manchester police believe the effort is part of a widespread “jury duty scam,” in which the scammer tells the victim that bail processing systems are down and that they must make a payment using a prepaid debit card or a money order.

Score: -1 Comment: Manchester Police are asking anyone who has experienced a scam call to contact the department at 668-8711.

Much ado has been made around here over the Patriots defense as it steamrolled opponents in the first half of 2019. The predictable chatter from the historically challenged had them already among the greatest defenses ever. At least until Baltimore rang them up for 37 points in that Sunday Night beatdown.

But, as David Spade said in Tommy Boy, not so fast, Lee Harvey. Who you play matters and all but one of the offenses faced to that point were from well below the Mendozza line. I’m also not ready to dismiss it after just one bad game, as even the best defenses usually had one stinker. Plus it was redeemed in Sunday’s defense-led 17-10 win in Philadelphia.

Identifying the greatest defenses ever is not just about points allowed. It’s a combination of factors that include (1) stats, wins and the competition, (2) doing it for an entire season — there have been a zillion teams red hot for several games, (3) better yet, doing it over at least three years because to have a lasting impact it needs to last longer than just one great year, (4) a vicious pass rush that physically intimidates teams, (5) a stream of Hall of Famers because that points to how high the peak was when firing on all cylinders, (6) it also doesn’t hurt to have a coach who demanded special toughness and played a spectacular or rugged style, and (7) a good nickname doesn’t hurt either, like Monsters of the Midway.

So, let’s throw all that into the computer to see which defenses the time machine spits out for consideration as the best of the best during my time watching the NFL. The Contenders: In the conversation for being best, but not quite in the top three. And all due respect to the NFL title-winning 1963 Bears, James Harrison, Troy Polamalu-led 2008 Steelers and Von Miller’s 2015 Broncos. They were close but one level down because they didn’t last.

1960s Green Bay Packers: They peaked when they held the league’s highest scoring team without an offensive TD in a 16-7 win over the Giants in the 1962 title game. They had six Hall of Famers – Henry Jordan, Willie Davis, Ray Nitschke, Dave Robinson, Herb Adderley and Willie Wood with two each on the line, at linebacker and DB. The D was the backbone of their five championships, especially in the first two SB wins when most of their five offensive Famers were deep into the back nine.

Late 1960s L.A. Rams: They had a dominating pass rush from their Fearsome Foursome D-line led by Hall of Famers Merlin Olsen and arguably the best all-time pass rusher Deacon Jones. The rest were a bunch of good but not great players coached by the brilliant and detail-obsessed George Allen.

Late 1960s-early ’70s Minnesota Vikings: The Purple People-eating D got them to the Super Bowl 4 even with Joe Kapp at QB, which was like making it all the way to Boca Raton driving nonstop in a ’58 Edsel.

They were a defense-led group from the frigid Midwest before global warming and the sissy dome football era that ultimately got to four SBs, behind Famers Alan Page, Carl Eller, all-time interception leader Paul Krause along with defensive end Jim Marshall as he played an astonishing 282 consecutive games.

The 1972 (1973) Miami Dolphins: Even while going undefeated they were still called the No-Name Defense because aside from Famers Nick Buoniconti and Jake Scott it was populated with mostly solid guys having career years. They were mistake-free, fast, versatile, smart and well coached by Don Shula.

1986 New York Giants: These guys played big-boy, hard-hitting Bill Parcells football with all-pros all over a front seven and led by HoF linebackers Harry Carson and Lawrence Taylor, arguably the best defensive player ever. They dominated in the playoffs went the points allowed were 3, 0 and 20 in a 39-20 SB rout of Denver. And they had a young fella named Belichick devising the

defensive game plans. Wonder what ever happened to him.

The Top Three: The best of the best in terms of personnel, domination and intimidation.

2000 Baltimore Ravens: I went a little Roger Clemens on them by misremembering “all” their Hall of Famers. But neither Ed Reed nor Terrell Suggs had arrived yet.

What they had was a lot of guys having career years led by ginormous tackles Tony Siragusa and Sam Adams, who you couldn’t run on and four-star intimidator Ray Lewis. They had three regular season shutouts and the playoff point totals were 3-10-3-7.

1985 Chicago Bears: I bet Tony Eason still gets nightmares over the beating he took in their dominating 46-10 win over the Pats in SB 20. For good reason too. Buddy Ryan’s 46 defense dared you to beat him deep by sending the house on almost every play.

With Famers Richard Dent, Danimal Dan Hampton, middle backer Mike Singletary and many others coming, that proved difficult for everyone but Dan Marino in Week 13 of their 15-1 season. Plus they had the Refrigerator Perry phenomenon and combustible Mike Ditka on the sideline to give them added panache.

1973-77 Pittsburgh Steelers: This is the best defense I’ve seen. The four-time SB champs were huge, menacing and hard-hitting with five Hall of Famers – Mean Joe Green, Jack Lambert, Jack Ham, Andy Russell and Mel Blount. Six-time Pro Bowler L.C. Greenwood should be in as well. The best year was actually 1976, when amid an incredible rash of injuries they started 1-4 before winning their last nine while allowing just 22 points via five shutouts, and just a field goal in two others. At their peak they were absolutely dominant.

Where do the 2019 Patriots fit with these teams? Let’s see how the year goes. But if the second half matches the first, I’d say they are closest to Shula’s undefeated Miami Dolphins of 1972.

Battling for the state title The Big Story: As expected, Londonderry and Trinity will be playing in the D-1 and D-3 State Championship games this weekend after LHS took out Salem 35-14 and the Pioneers rolled over Stevens of Claremont 48-15. Trinity will kick off the annual state final triple-header at UNH when they face Lebanon at 11 a.m., while for the 11-0 Lancers it’s a date with Exeter, who got there with a win over Merrimack, at 6 p.m.

Sports 101: Only three Heisman Trophy winners have ever played for the New England Patriots – name them.

Player of the Week: This time Trinity star John Thibault did it to Stevens by running for more yards (252) and three TD’s by himself than the 226 rushing yards Claremont had. More impressive is that he did it on just 12 carries for a whopping 21 yards per carry average helped along by taking the first play from scrimmage to the house in the 76-yard TD run that set the tone for the day and another of 69 yards.

Coming and Going: There’ll be a new face in the dugout for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats in 2020. It belongs to fast riser in the Blue Jays organization Cesar Martin. He comes to the F-Cats after a stellar 2019 season where he was named manager of the year in the Florida State League after leading the Class A Dunedin Blue Jays to 80-55 as they won the league championship under their first and second half formats.

by Yale on Saturday so if the Green can beat 1-5 Brown this week Saturday they still win the Ivy title.

Sports 101 Answer: The three Heisman winners to play for the Pats are their first overall pick in the 1971 draft Jim Plunkett and two guys who backed up Tom Brady in 2005 and 2006, local lad Doug Flutie and Vinny Testaverde.

Joe Kapp: The ’60s answer to Trent Dilfer, only tougher. CFL legend who migrated to balmy Minnesota in 1967 to QB the Vikings as they were emerging as a defense-led NFL power. And despite throwing passes that were more like end-over-end kickoffs than spirals, the 12-2 Vikes went all the way to SB4. He QB’d your Boston Patriots the next year during a disastrous 2-12 campaign when the three TD pass, 17 pick, 44 percent completion average stat line was epically bad. But his best move was hauling off and decking bitter rival Angelo Mosca for a dirty hit from 48 years earlier (in 1963) after the 73-year-old Mosca started up again during a 2011 CFL alumni luncheon by hitting Kapp with his cane! Told you he was tough.

Super Bowl 4: The one where Minnesota became the second NFL team to lose to the hated AFL in a 23-7 shellacking by the Hank Stram coached Kansas City Chiefs with a defense that had five future Hall of Famers.

Hank Stram: Dapperly attired, pint-sized Hall of Fame AFL/NFL head coach of the Dallas Texans/KC Chiefs and later New Orleans with the 131-97-10 lifetime mark.

LOCAL CHEFS HELP YOU MAKE THE TASTIEST TURKEY

By Matt Ingersoll

mingersoll@hippopress.com

Turkey is widely known as the centerpiece of most Thanksgiving meals, and if you’re the cook who’s responsible for getting it on the table, it can be an intimidating task – but it doesn’t need to be.

“The most important thing is not to stress out over your turkey,” said chef Keith Sarasin, co-owner of Greenleaf Restaurant in Milford and The Farmers Dinner and author of the 2018 book The Perfect Turkey. “[Thanksgiving] is a holiday about coming together with the people you love and to nourish, and that’s really what cooking is about in its nature too.”

There are so many different ways to cook a turkey; you can stick with oven-roasting or try other methods like spatchcocking, smoking, grilling or deep-frying. The type of turkey you are using, whether it’s a free-range bird or a heritage breed, is also going to affect how you prepare it. Local chefs and owners of farms that raise turkeys pro-

vide tips on how to pick the right turkey for you, the different ways to prepare your bird and unique things you can do with your turkey carcass, like making your own stocks for gravies or soups.

Choosing your turkey

When you’re thinking about buying your turkey, Sarasin said the first thing to consider is how many people you’re expecting over for Thanksgiving – he likes to budget a little under a half pound per person.

Then you have to decide where you’re going to get it from. Your standard turkey that you’re going to find in a grocery store is going to be radically different from one raised on a local farm. That’s because those birds that are mass produced for distribution are given lots of feed and growth hormones and bred to have much larger breasts, according to Sarasin.

Heritage breed birds, on the other hand, are raised on a more natural diet, creating a much leaner bird. One New Hampshire farm that raises heritage

breed turkeys is Little Red Hen Farm & Homestead in Pittsfield — they currently raise White Hollands, one of the oldest heritage breed turkeys, known for their small breasts and long legs, co-owner Jill Fudala said.

“What I usually look for in a turkey … is I look at what kind of feed they are giving this bird,” Sarasin said. “I like turkeys that have room to roam. Turkeys are scavengers by nature … so you want a turkey that actually has the ability to

roam around and to exercise those muscles. It creates a better flavor profile in the bird, a hundred percent.”

If you are buying a turkey at the grocery store, you usually have the option of either a frozen or a fresh bird. According to chef and cooking instructor Liz Barbour of The Creative Feast in Hollis, while the quality of a frozen turkey can be more consistent due to its stability during travel, it will take a much longer time to thaw out. You must thaw it in the

cold water to cover the turkey carcass, about five quarts. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat so it simmers. Skim the surface of the stock to get rid of any fat and impurities.

Continue to simmer until the stock reduces by at least a third. Strain the stock through a mesh strainer and discard any solids. This stock can be kept in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or in the freezer for three months.

refrigerator, and she recommends doing so for at least five to six days before you cook it.

You are rarely going to see heritage breed turkeys at the grocery store, because they take longer and cost more money to raise, Barbour said. Instead, you are more likely to find broad-breasted white turkeys, most of which are injected with saline or some type of sodium solution to keep the meat from drying out.

“That salt solution essentially helps ... the meat retain moisture in the same way you would brine your turkey at home,” she said.

Sarasin shares a variety of brine recipes in his book; it’s a practice that he prefers to use on farm-raised as opposed to store-bought turkeys. One of his recipes is a holiday-spiced wet brine, which

imparts vibrant flavors like cinnamon, rosemary, thyme and nutmeg. Whatever ingredients you place in your brine, the meat must be soaked for at least 24 hours for it to be absorbed.

“Brining the bird ensures a beautiful breakdown of the meat,” he said.

Before you cook your turkey, trussing the bird – or wrapping kitchen twine around its neck, wings and legs – is also a good step to make sure all of its ends are evenly cooked.

The perfect roast

When it comes to the traditional method of roasting your turkey in the oven, there are several measures you can take to ensure the best outcome.

“The first and foremost thing I would say is do not stuff your bird,” Sarasin CONTINUED ON PG 14

Holiday-spiced wet brine Courtesy of Keith Sarasin of Greenleaf Restaurant in Milford and The Farmers Dinner (taken from his 2018 book The Perfect Turkey) ¾ cup sugar ½ cup salt 5 bay leaves 3 cinnamon sticks 4 garlic cloves 3 sprigs thyme 3 sprigs rosemary 2 teaspoons cloves 2 teaspoons nutmeg Remove the turkey from its packaging and remove the innards. You can reserve these for gravy. Rinse the turkey under cold water and

dry it with a towel. Add all of the ingredients to a pot of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool completely. Place the turkey in the brine breast side down. Make sure that the turkey is fully submerged, weighing down with plates if necessary. Refrigerate for 24 hours. Remove the turkey from the brine and dry the bird inside and out. Discard the brine and cook the turkey.

Turkey cooking temperatures

According to USDA guidelines, whole turkeys are safe for consumption when cooked at a minimum temperature of 165 degrees, which you can easily calculate using a meat thermometer. Cooking your stuffing outside your bird before filling it is recommended — the temperature of the stuffing should also reach 165 degrees.

Some chefs feel that these recommended higher temps make for a drier bird.

Sarasin said some heritage turkey breeds

he has worked with, like the chocolate turkeys (named for their brown-colored feathers) cook a little faster on the top, at roughly 140 degrees for the breasts and 165 degrees for the legs. This is because the breastbone of that turkey breed sits a bit higher in the oven than others, he said.

“What happens is that breast meat starts to really dry out past around 145 degrees or so,” he said, “so I like to pull it just a little bit before.”

said. “Think of all that juice of the turkey that starts to drip down. If you add a lot of bread stuffing to the bird, it will take in all that juice and make the bird dry. … If you want that nice picture of the finished turkey at the dinner table, you can stuff the bird after it’s done.”

Instead of bread stuffing, Sarasin said he recommends adding in aromatics like herbs or citrus juices like lemon or lime, or even rubbing the inside of the skin with butter to ensure a moist and even cook.

Shelley Morley of Mt. Dearborn Farm in Weare, which raises Narragansett turkeys, said she likes to cook the bird on a roasting rack inside a pan. This allows the meat to brown all over and prevents it from sticking to the pan.

According to Sarasin, it’s also important to let the bird rest for at least 20 minutes when it is finished roasting.

“Make sure that it’s either wrapped in foil or there’s a top on it and it’s sealed well when you let it rest,” he said.

“That’s going to give it [an] even distribution of all of those fats.”

One technique that Barbour said she likes to implement involves cutting the turkey into two pieces by separating the breasts of the bird from the legs and the back.

“The legs always take longer. Oftentimes we overcook a turkey because we’re waiting for the legs to finish,” she said, “so if you separate them, then you have a much better chance of keeping the bird nice and moist.”

RIGHT IN THE HEART OF MANCHESTER

Beyond simply throwing your turkey in the oven, there are many other ways you can cook it. One of them is spatchcocking, or taking a pair of kitchen shears to cut out the backbone of the bird. Spatchcocking can be done for

preparation in an oven or on a grill.

“What [cutting the backbone] does is it’s going to allow you to lay the bird pretty flat,” Sarasin said. “That will have a more even distribution of heat, and it will cut down your cooking time by more than half. … So if you’re in an ‘oh no’ scenario, like you forgot to thaw it or it hasn’t thawed properly, spatchcocking is the way to go.”

Grilling your turkey allows you to save your oven space for any side dishes you want to serve with it, according to Morley.

“We normally like to cook them on the grill … with medium heat on the outside burners and off in the middle,” she said.

For Sarasin, smoking the turkey is one of his favorite cooking methods to maximize the flavor and complexity of the bird. He recommends smoking it at a relatively low temperature of around 235 to 250 degrees for around 30 minutes per pound of meat, using applewood or hickory.

“Applewood is nice enough because it’s light and delicate. Hickory is going to give you a deeper smoke that will permeate the bird much more,” he said.

“Smoking does take more time, but you end up getting this beautiful turkey that’s so juicy.”

Another technique that Sarasin covers extensively in his book is known as sous vide, which translates from French to “under vacuum.” The process involves using an immersion circulator to evenly cook turkey parts in a vacuum-sealed bag under a water bath.

“There are a lot of immersion circulators on the market now for the home cook, like Joule and Anova,” he said. “It’s a really fun, innovative and insanely tasty way to do your bird. It’s probably the most tasty way, along with smoking.”

If you especially love having a crispiness to your turkey skin, you can also deep-fry it — a method that, while relatively quick, should be approached with caution, Sarasin said. Deep-frying should always be done outside, and with completely thawed turkeys only, never frozen.

Sarasin said he likes to use peanut oil when deep-frying to give the bird a nice coating,

keeping it at 350 degrees and cooking for about three minutes per pound.

“The bird has to be thawed correctly and pat-dried inside and out. I cannot stress that enough,” he said. “If you decide that deep-frying is something you want to do, please do a lot of reading on it, because safety is important and it can really go awry if you’re not careful.”

No matter how you cook a turkey, Barbour recommends always letting it sit for at least 20 to 30 minutes before you carve into it to allow the juices to work their way into the meat. Morley said it’s easier to carve the turkey by removing the legs and thighs at the joint first, followed by the wings, and then slicing down either side of the breast bone.

“All of these techniques [have] the goal of making the turkey moist … and so if you cut into it immediately, all of that juice that you’ve worked for will be lost,” Barbour said.

Creative leftovers

From soups and sandwiches to turkey pot pie, there are all sorts of tasty meals you can make from your Thanksgiving leftovers.

Sarasin said you can start by making a simple turkey stock from your carcass — an InstantPot or some other type of pressure cooker is especially useful here. You can then use your stock as a base for gravies, soups or stuffings.

“Instant Pots are amazing for stocks.

I’ll break down the bones, put them in there and add in any saved ends of carrots or onions that I have … and then cover with water and pressure cook it

for about 50 minutes,” he said. “If you want add aromatics like black peppercorns or dry bay leaves, you can do that too. You strain all that out and you have a beautiful turkey stock.”

Morley said she likes to make everything from turkey pot pie to turkey stuffing with leftover meat and stock. If you use the stock to make a gravy, you can even mix it with mayonnaise for a Thanksgiving sandwich, stacked with leftover turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce on sourdough bread, as Sarasin highlights in his book.

“I actually make a cranberry sauce aioli, and it’s the perfect addition of acidity and fat with a little bit of gravy,” he said.

If you don’t want just plain turkey this Thanksgiving, there are a variety of other birds you can cook with, from chicken or duck to gamier options like quail and pheasant.

Similar to turkeys, chickens that you’ll get at the grocery store are given plenty of feed and growth hormones to give the bird a lot of breast meat. But some local farms may sell stewing hens, according to Sarasin, or chickens that can no longer produce eggs.

“Those chickens are very, very tough, and so those are the birds that I like to use for things like chicken stocks and Roast duck. soups,” he said.

The treatment of each of these birds directly translates into the flavor of the meat, according to executive chef Chris Viaud of Greenleaf Restaurant in Milford, who regularly works with duck sourced from Loudonshire Farm in Loudon. He’ll also be featuring a goose special during the Christmas season.

Cooking waterfowl like duck and goose is not like cooking turkey or chicken, a common misconception people have when they try cooking it for the first time, said Jim Czack of Loudonshire Farm.

“It’s red meat … so it needs to be cooked medium rare like a filet mignon,” he said.

Those who are ambitious can make what’s called a turducken, or a deboned chicken stuffed inside a duck and then stuffed inside a turkey.

Jill Fudala of Little Red Hen Farm & Homestead in Pittsfield makes them every year.

“What you end up with is this massive thing that’s kind of like a big jelly roll with all these layers,” she said.

Jim Kersch, owner of The Healthy Buffalo in Chichester, said he has whole ducks and duck breasts, as well as game birds like quail, pheasant and guinea hen, all in stock frozen at his meat shop on Route 4. Whole quails are available with or without bones and are less than a pound, while the pheasants and guinea hens are about four to five pounds.

The shop is closed on Thanksgiving Day, but will be open from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, and from noon to 6 p.m. during the week, right up until the day before the holiday.

“Most of the game birds tend to be a much darker meat, and they are all going to be much more moist than turkey,” Kersch said.

ARTS A macabre musical

The Actorsingers take on The Addams Family

By Angie Sykeny

asykeny@hippopress.com

The Actorsingers of Nashua venture into darker territory in their latest production, The Addams Family, opening Friday, Nov. 22, at the Keefe Center for the Arts in Nashua.

The musical comedy, which opened on Broadway in 2010, follows the family after their daughter, Wednesday Addams, has grown up and fallen in love with a young man from a very different kind of family, whom her parents have never met. After Wednesday confides in her father, Gomez, and begs him not to tell her mother, Morticia, about her new love interest, Gomez must keep a secret from his wife — something he has never done before. The whole situation comes to a head when the Addams Family has Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents over for dinner.

“When the two families come together, all hell breaks loose,” director Erin Maitland said. “It’s a very kooky and interesting night they have.”

Actor Halee Bandt auditioned for the musical thinking she might be best suited for the role of Wednesday, but was “happily surprised” when she was cast as Morticia.

“Morticia Addams is the matriarch, unapologetically macabre and into the darker things in life, but still, in my opinion, one of the classiest female characters I’ve had

the pleasure to play,” Bandt said.

The score is unique in that each character has his or her own musical theme; Wednesday sings in a modern pop style while Gomez brings in a sultry Latin sound. The musical variety ensures that the score, or at least parts of it, will appeal to everyone, Maitland said.

“I also think it gives each character more direction and depth,” she said. “Each one has their theme, and it gives them more personality and supports the storyline.”

Additionally, Maitland challenged the actors to work on character development to portray the characters as real people rather than “gimmicky” or “cheesy.”

“These characters are having real situations — falling in love for the first time, having their traditions challenged, struggling in their marriage,” she said. “These are things real people go through, so I really worked with the cast to bring out those genuine situations that the audience can relate to.”

Even with a new, modernized storyline and score, The Addams Family remains timeless, Maitland said, and will be an enjoyable show for any generation.

“It’s a story about being true to yourself, Bandt said she was attracted to the musical and about bringing people together,” she for its “sincerity” in keeping the characters said, “and I think we could all use some of relatable and dynamic. that these days.”

• Oil paintings and music: 3S Artspace (319 Vaughan St., Portsmouth) presents an exhibition, “Room for Memory,” featuring the work of Heather Morgan, Nov. 22 through Jan. 5. Morgan’s oil paintings depict figures, mostly women, who are performing their identities. “Vivid and theatrical as these images are, the viewer is thrust into discomfiting intimacy with these defiant characters,” the artist statement on the website said. “These works invite the viewer to look and to covet, presenting an alluring world that is also potent and seething.”

There will be an opening reception on Friday, Nov. 22, from 5 to 8 p.m., during which Morgan’s band Lovesick will perform, and another reception on Friday, Dec. 6, from 5 to 8 p.m., during the Art ‘Round Town monthly art walk in Portsmouth. Both are free and open to the public. Visit 3sarts.org.

Cut just outside the branch collar, leaving the wrinkled bark. Photo by Henry Homeyer.

of the tree to grab some sunshine on the other side. I can see branches rubbing up against other branches, or branches that have died and have not yet fallen. All those I will take out.

My late sister, Ruth Anne Mitchell, loved to prune. Her trademark move was to sit down under a tree or shrub and look up through the branches, preferably when they were bare of leaves. She claimed she could see the clutter in the middle of the tree that way, and decide what to take out. Me? I like to circle a tree or shrub several times, looking at it from every direction.

Where you cut a branch is very important.

There is a swollen area at the base of each branch called the branch collar. The bark there is often wrinkled. Cut the branch just past the branch collar, leaving the collar on the tree.

Why is that important? The collar is where the tree naturally heals itself. If you leave a long stub past the collar, the tree will have to wait for the wood to rot back to the branch collar before healing, potentially leaving an open wound for years. Conversely, if you remove the branch collar and cut the branch flush to the tree, you leave a much bigger wound than if you do it properly.

A properly pruned tree gets sunshine on each one of its leaves every day. Pruning opens up the canopy to sunshine and allows breezes to dry the leaves of dew or rain. For trees like lilacs and apples that are susceptible to fungal diseases, it’s important that leaves dry out quickly before fungal hyphae (rootlike structures) penetrate the leaves.

One last chore: If you planted a new tree this year, you may wish to protect the bark from rodents that chew the bark under the snow. Meadow voles living under the snow can girdle a tree and kill it. Surround the tree with metal mesh called “hardware cloth.” Get the kind with just quarter-inch spaces, not chicken wire. Surround the trunk from the ground to 24 inches.

Many gardeners avoid pruning the way children avoid the dentist. The way your dog views visiting the vet. But instead, think of pruning as going to a really, really good hair stylist. You are giving your tree or shrub a fancy haircut, not performing surgery.

Fall is here, and winter is not far behind.

I’ve seen some snow and scraped frost from my windshield. The sun is slow to get above the hills in the morning and quick to disappear in the afternoon. The sky is often gray and gloomy. These things take their toll on the spirits of gardeners like me. As an antidote, I plant bulbs and prune. Both lift my spirits. I’ve finished planting bulbs, but I’m still pruning.

First, what should you prune now, and what should wait until spring or summer to prune?

Anything that blooms in spring or early summer has already formed the buds that will flower next year. Lilacs, forsythia, crabapples, magnolias, rhododendrons, viburnums and many more are ready to bloom when the weather and length of day dictate blooming.

Many gardeners refuse to prune spring blooming woody plants now. It’s true that if you prune then now you lose blossoms — but that does not stop me. Trees and shrubs get messy fast. Ignore them for a few years and they are as untidy as an unmade bed.

In my opinion, it’s better to lose a few blossoms than put off a job that needs to be done.

When the lilacs are blooming I am planting veggies and flowers and fixing the mess moles made of my lawn. I have no time to prune them then.

On the other hand, I do not prune evergreens now. Pines, hemlocks and spruce I prune right after they finish their new growth in July. If you remove it each year, you can keep evergreens roughly the same size, if you wish.

I like to be sure that the lowest branches of a tree are high enough off the ground so that mowing is easy. That said, I have a huge Merrill magnolia that blooms with a thousand huge white blossom each year in late April.

It has two low branches that make it difficult to mow there, and I have been considering removing them for at least 5 years.

Finally I have decided to remove those two low culprits, but I will wait until after blooming next spring. And who knows, I may change my mind before I get out the saw.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE TREASURE HUNT

Dear Donna, Hoping you can help, as I am stumped.

My son picked this up years ago. I have no idea of the age and am unable to find out much on the artist. It’s a well-matted and framed print. The mat has some kind of texture to it. The overall framed size is 36” x 30”. Do you know anything about this artist as well as the value of this?

Dear Susan, Because this is a print (copy of an original painting) the value is in the under $100 range.

So many of these were made, which makes them easier to acquire. The artist was Durand Chapron, I believe. I think the print was done sometime after the 1950s, but the painting was earlier.

Prints can be tough because it’s the subject that will really sell it. So finding one with a known artist, and if there are a limited number of them, helps the value. The fewer out in the market the more people are willing to pay for them. The upside to prints is that they can be an inexpensive way to enjoy an artist’s works.

INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAR TALK

Even Honda parts start to fail after 17 years

Dear Car Talk: The driver-side window on my 2002 Honda Accord suddenly rolled down on its own. Although I could hear a noise when I pressed the window switch, the window

By Ray Magliozzi wouldn’t roll up!

The Honda dealer had to remove the door panel and replace the window regulator at a cost of more than $500. My service adviser said that in four years of working for Honda, he had seen only one other car with this same window malfunction!

My husband and I have never experienced this problem with all the cars that we have owned throughout the years, and I was wondering if you were familiar with this or ever heard of this problem before?

We enjoy your column very much. Thank you.

— Inge

Inge, I think you are a victim of excessively lofty expectations.

Hondas are very reliable cars, but that doesn’t mean you can go 17 years without a single part failing. We’ve replaced plenty of window regulators over the years. And some of them on Hondas.

The regulator is a metal, scissors-like mecha-

nism inside the door that holds the window glass.

When you push the window button, it folds and unfolds to move the window up and down. Due to corrosion and use, after an eon or two, the welds will break, and the window will fall down into the door — never to be seen again until a repair is performed.

It’s almost always the driver’s door regulator that fails. Why? Because that’s the one that gets the most use. When you’re driving alone, you use it. When you stop at a toll booth, you use it.

When you want to practice your foul language on a guy who cut you off, you roll down the driver’s window. So it’s no wonder that it fails before the others.

The price you paid sounds a little high to me.

Next time, you might want to shop around, and try a non-dealer garage, too. But I don’t think you can really complain too much about a window regulator that failed after 17 years, Inge.

I’d focus on the upside. You now have a new window regulator that should take you clean through the 2036 presidential campaign. Enjoy.

Dear Car Talk: Here’s an item that I think would interest many of your readers.

I have a 2019 Buick Enclave. One of its many features is the automatic engine shutoff when I stop. It’s not something I love, but I eventually got used to it.

Yesterday I came across a discussion on Facebook, and there were literally hundreds of rants about why it was no good. “It doesn’t save gas,” “It will require replacement of starters and associated parts,” “It’s bad for the battery,” etc.

Many mentioned the lack of heat or air conditioning while stopped, although mine starts back up if needed. Others mentioned holding up traffic while you restart, which, of course, is not true.

So, is this a gimmick, or does it really save gas? — Tom

Ah, I see the Russian trolls are using Facebook to try to divide the American people over important issues again.

It does save some gas, Tom. Studies show it improves fuel economy by a few percentage points. That makes sense, right?

Let’s say you’re stopped at a light or in traffic about 3 to 5 percent of the time you’re driving — now you’re not using any gas during those stops. You’re also not putting any wear and tear on your engine, which is nice. More importantly, you’re not creating any air pollution. And if we’re collectively cutting vehicle pollution by 3 to 5 percent, that’s a pretty big win for everybody.

These systems have been around for five to 10 years now, and we haven’t seen any increase in starter or battery replacements yet. It could happen, but we’ve seen nothing to suggest it yet.

And because warm engines are so easy to start

(they restart in a fraction of a second), there’s really very little additional demand on the starter and battery.

The only real downside we’ve found is that the restart (on some cars) can be a bit annoying. Some manufacturers haven’t executed these systems as smoothly as others. Buick and GM actually do it pretty well, but on some cars, you can feel a little shudder every time the car restarts.

The heating and cooling fan keeps running (along with important accessories like the seat heaters and the radio) when the engine shuts off.

And if the temperature in the cabin gets out of its acceptable range (which it rarely does during a 60-second traffic light), the engine will turn itself back on and fire up the compressor.

As you’ve discovered, restarting is instantaneous, as soon as you take your foot off the brake, so there’s no making anybody wait behind you. In fact, a BMW we drove recently uses its automatic emergency braking sensor to tell when the car in front of you starts moving, and it restarts the car when it sees that, even before you take your foot off the brake. Pretty smart!

So, we’re with you, Tom. We don’t love these systems, but we got used to them. The environmental benefits alone make the case for everybody using them.

Whether it’s a year-round farmers market moving indoors during the colder months, or a special holiday-themed market, there are still plenty of opportunities statewide to shop local for your meats, poultry, fruits and vegetables even in the dead of winter.

“It’s important to me not only that we have a wide variety of products for people to discover but also for the focus to be on the farms,” said Adrienne Colsia of Paradise Farm in Lyndeborough, who manages both the summer and winter farmers markets in Milford. Her farm is also a featured vendor, offering meats like grass-fed beef and lamb, and pasture-raised pork, plus goat milk soaps and maple syrup.

Winter markets are especially great spots to find root vegetables, as well as homemade comfort foods like soups, pastas, breads and dessert pies. The Milford market, which started Nov. 9 and will continue twice a month from Nov. 23 through late March, is just one of more than a dozen markets holding dates from now through the early spring.

Several of the regular winter markets also feature live music, children’s activities and a

Bake until browned and glazed, and an instant read thermometer inserted into the center registers 165 degrees (about 45 to 50 minutes). Cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Elevated pub fare with a bit of an Italian twist is what you’ll find at Luk’s Bar & Grill, a new family-owned-and-operated restaurant now open in Hudson.

The eatery, which opened on Nov. 18, is named in tribute to the late cousin of co-owner Jimmy Raptis, known in their large family as having a passion for all things food.

Raptis recently purchased the restaurant with his uncle Dave. Former Pig Tale Restaurant owner-operator Chris Normandin has been brought in to oversee the creative aspects. He recruited childhood friend Sean Callery, who most recently cooked at Murphy’s Taproom & Carriage House in Bedford, as well as Zach Rogers, former longtime chef at Rocco’s Pizza Bar and Grill in Hudson, to manage the kitchen.

Normandin said each of the new menu items was introduced to showcase the chefs’ culinary creativity.

“Our focus is really on doing fewer things but doing them [in a] spectacular [way],” Normandin said. “We just purchased a brand new pizza oven, for example, and we’ll be making our own mozzarella cheese in house every morning.”

You’ll also see everything from lighter fare like Waldorf and beet salads, cauliflower wings and bacon-braised Brussels sprouts, to more innovative items like an overnight sweet whiskey glazed pork belly, served on a potato bun with sour cream and a pickled jicama slaw.

Steak on a stone is another new concept coming to Luk’s. You’ll get to pick a cut of house rubbed steak that will be served on an individual heated stone plate with vegetable sides.

“It’s essentially this sizzling hot stone that we’ll give you with your steak, so that you can sear your meat to exactly how you like it,” Normandin said.

As for the bar area, the capacity to make

drinks has been doubled with all new cocktails to complement it, using regional products like the Massachusetts-based Nautical Gin. Kristen Canty, another friend of Normandin’s, will be managing the bar.

A designated space has also been built for local live music acts to perform on a regular basis.

Overall, Normandin said the new eatery’s concept is all about placing a large emphasis on quality food and cocktails, while creating a well-rounded menu to cater to any palate.

“We really want to show the passion for what we do here and … give the community something that they can be proud of,” he said.

FOOD

TRY THIS AT HOME Cheese cranberry sauce puffs As you read this, you should have about a week until Thanksgiving Day. That means you’re possibly in the midst of meal planning, shopping and cooking. At this point you can’t begin to contemplate the leftovers because you just have to get all the preparations done! However, there will be leftovers.

You know this.

At first mention, leftovers sound appealing, right? Perhaps it’s late Thursday evening or Friday at lunchtime, and you excitedly head to the refrigerator to figure how to make the best leftover sandwich ever. Maybe you recreate the plate that you ate earlier.

Either way, the first round or two of leftovers is delicious.

A little time passes, it’s Sunday, and you wonder when these leftovers will be gone.

You don’t want to eat them in the same fashion that you have for days. So I’m going to help you with one of those leftover dishes: cranberry sauce. For me it’s a key part of the meal, and as such, I usually make too much.

Before we get into the recipe, let me state that I understand, even as someone who loves to cook, you have done so much cooking already this weekend that you want a break. That’s where this recipe comes in as a two-fer. First, it uses some of your leftover cranberry sauce. Second, it requires minimal

ingredients and effort. In spite of its simplicity and the clean-out-the-fridge mentality of its creation, this recipe still produces a snack that is quite delicious.

Perhaps it’s good that you’re reading this recipe a week ahead of time. Now you can plan better and make sure that there will be leftover cranberry sauce, so you have a good reason to make these puffs over the long weekend!

Michele Pesula Kuegler has been thinking about food her entire life. Since 2007, the Manchester resident has been sharing these food thoughts and recipes at her blog, Think Tasty. To find more of her recipes, please visit thinktasty.com.

Cheesy Cranberry Sauce Puffs 2 sheets puff pastry, defrosted 6 ounces goat cheese 2 teaspoons sugar ¾ cup cranberry sauce Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.

On a well-floured surface roll each puff pastry sheet into a 10”x15” rectangle.

Cut each sheet into nine rectangles, each measuring 3-1/3”x5”.

Spread ¾ tablespoon of goat cheese on one half of each pastry rectangle, leaving 1/2” margins.

Sprinkle a pinch of sugar over the goat cheese.

Top with ¾ tablespoon of cranberry sauce.

Using a pastry brush or your fingertips, wet the edges of the pastry with water.

Fold unfilled side over topping; seal edges firmly.

Transfer filled pastries to the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 14 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.

Makes 18 puffs.

Note: The filling is incredibly hot. It is best to let them cool for a few minutes before eating.

For the chicken: Mix together cinnamon, sea salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper, garlic and balsamic vinegar and rub on the chicken. Put chicken thighs on a tray and bake in a preheated oven at 400

degrees for 45 minutes, skin up.

For the eggplant: Heat vegetable or canola oil over medium-high heat to 375 degrees. Add the eggplant slices and cook until golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain oil and set aside.

For the rice: Wash the rice in cold water. In a pot, add olive oil, chicken broth, salt and the washed rice.

Bring to a boil with the pot cover off. Reduce temperature to simmering, place on pot cover and leave for about 30 to 40 minutes.

After eggplant, chicken and rice are done cooking, place chicken thighs in the bottom of a round bowl, skin down. Layer with the eggplant pieces, then add the cooked rice and press them all down with a flat spatula to form a layered dome. Place a serving dish on top of the round bowl and carefully flip the bowl.

Garnish with toasted almonds and cinnamon and serve it with yogurt or a simple salad.

Wachusett Blueberry Ale by Wachusett Brewing Co. (Princeton, Mass.)

I know I recommended this as a summer brew what seems like five minutes ago, but it really does work on Thanksgiving. It’s certainly light and drinkable, but it has just enough subtly sweet blueberry flavor to give it some complexity, without it taking over your palate. It’s almost a perfect complement to this meal, as the sweetness isn’t so pronounced that it’s cloying. It’s just there, reminding you blueberries are good.

Holiday Platters from Cherry Bomb Cookies

On the surface, Thanksgiving is a great day for beer. And, sure, it is, but the reality we’re all faced with is that there is only so much room in your belly.

Can you have it all? I want you to be able to have it all. It would make me happy if you, friend, could have it all, all the turkey and gravy and mashed potatoes and candied yams and stuffing and apple pie and beer. I’m just not sure there’s room. And I didn’t even mention sweet potato pie.

As Thanksgiving approaches, you want to be thinking about your choices, because, first, I want you to be comfortable and not rolling around on the floor like a barrel post-meal. Second, and most importantly, I don’t want you to crack open some special, limited release brew, only to find the beer’s nuances lost in the overall richness of the day, or worse yet, find yourself unable to finish it due to said mashed potatoes.

Let’s go lighter for Thanksgiving this year.

I don’t mean you need to stick to Coors Light — though there’s nothing wrong with that — but choosing brews on the lighter side will cut through all the butter a bit better, without bogging you down further. What are your taste buds going to do with a triple dry-hopped IPA right after you’ve finished swallowing a mouthful of turkey, stuffing and gravy? I don’t want to know.

The food of the day is so rich; I think you do yourself a favor if you cut through the fat with something crisp and flavorful, but also something a little lighter and brighter. If, of course, you’re one of those people who know how to eat in moderation on Thanksgiving, you can throw this advice out the window.

Here are five options to help you enjoy a few beers on Thanksgiving without turning into mashed potatoes:

MUSIC, BOOKS, GAMES, COMICS, MOVIES, DVDS, TV AND MORE Johnny Griffin & Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis, Ow! Live at the Penthouse (Reel to Real Recordings)

Well dang, stop the presses again, another previously unreleased ’60s jazz LP just hit. It’s not earth-shattering news, like the recently unearthed lost recordings of Miles Davis and John Coltrane were, but this live set of scorched-earth hardand post-bop essays from the twin tenor-sax juggernaut of Davis and Griffin is absolutely irresistible.

Complete with spoken intros to the compositions and golf-clap crowd reactions (it sounds like there were maybe 20 people in the Seattle club on the two separate nights in question), the foursome puts the listener right in the venue, placing the positive, timeless vibes right under your nose. The sax solos come at you relentlessly; both guys were marvelously gifted, and when one tires, the other steps right in. Slow moments don’t come too often (“Sophisticated Lady” is pure torch, of course), but with such things as “Second Balcony Jump” and Lester Young’s “Tickle Toe” on board, you wouldn’t have picked this up while shopping for sultry blues. Pure Blue Note bliss, essential. A+ — Eric W. Saeger

The Damned, Black Is the Night: The Definitive Anthology (BMG Records)

Merry Christmas, beginner goths, have some vampires. This 40something-year-old outfit bills itself as “the greatest surviving British punk band,” which is fine with me, being that Sex Pistols are long defunct, but really, Black Flag-style spazzouts like “Love Song” weren’t their only thing, that’s for sure. A lot of their post-’70s songs bore similarities to Bauhaus and Sisters of Mercy, sometimes both at the same time (“Shadow of Love”), which made for slower, gloomier tunes geared toward… you know, vampires. You’ll hear plenty of that on this 39-song, career-spanning extravaganza, as well as bouncy cabaret-focused musings like 1985’s “Grimly Fiendish.” The cabaret angle is an important part of their history, in case you didn’t know, and it extendd to today: This past Oct. 28, they allegedly broke the Guinness World Record for number of people dressed as vampires when they partnered with Hammer House of Horror to play a show at London’s Palladium. Sometimes the singer goes onstage in full Gary Oldman-as-vampire-bat makeup, you know. A — Eric W. Saeger

PLAYLIST A seriously abridged compendium of recent and future CD releases • The next general-release date for new albums is Nov. 22, and the most notable thing about all that is how I can’t believe it’s that late in the year already. October flew by, like a lost Sunday spent trying to get all your socks matched up with their partners, which, incidentally, isn’t possible according to the Idiots’ Guide to Physics, and here we are, jockeying with coworkers for the best days off between holidays and talking about the big corporate rock albums you’re supposed to be buying. I suppose we should get the difficult one out of the way and discuss Coldplay’s new album, Everyday Life, which will street on the 22nd. I say “difficult” because hipsters don’t like Coldplay but humans usually do, so the real acid test here is determining whether or not humans will like this new rock ’n’ roll music from Coldplay, because who cares about hipsters’ sensitive ears anyway. What’s that? Yes, I usually tool on Coldplay, but I’ve decided not to this time, because I honestly couldn’t care less at this point. Whatever, let’s sit through this stupid Colgate toothpaste commercial on YouTube while we wait for the music part of the new single, “Arabesque,” to begin (what, people are still using fluoridated, candy flavored toothpaste instead of essential oils, like 8.99999 billion out of 9 billion tooth-cleaning people recommend?)! Anyway, this song is political. I’ll ignore that. The groove sounds like a Las Vegas version of some Arabian-folk soundtrack part from Hurt Locker. Femi Kuti does a sax solo. Chris Martin swears once, for the first time ever on a Coldplay song, I’m told. The samples are weird enough.

• Breaking news, dang it all, the release date for WHO, the new album from The Who, got rescheduled to Dec. 6. That stinks, because I could have waltzed through the rest of this week’s column just making jokes about Roger Daltrey’s lifelong primal hatred for Pete Townsend, but instead we’ll chat about Losst and Founnd, the new posthumous album from Harry Nilsson, who was essentially the Beck of his 1970s heyday (speaking of Beck, his new album Hyperspace drops this week as well). The first song didn’t have a title assigned to it on YouTube (nice work, small record company that somehow wound up getting the rights to these songs!), and it was a boring Randy Newman-type bar-band thing anyway, so I suppose I’ll try this other one, which does have a title, “Yo Dodger Blue.” It’s another slowish bar-band song with a singalong part, and it’s about the L.A. Dodgers.

Only three people cared enough about it to leave a YouTube comment, and two of those guys said it should be played at Dodger home games. It won’t.

• Omar Souleyman is a 50something Sunni Arab singer from Syria who specializes in Dabke, a folk dance native to the Lebanese, Jordanians, Syrians, Palestinians, Israeli-Arabs and Iraqis. With current events as they are, we should definitely pay him and his new album, Shlon, some mind, because come on. The single is “Layle,” an above-average example of this whirling, joyous, bug-eyed style; it’ll put you in a great mood whether you’re up for that or not.

• Lastly, did you know that former/current/whatever Smashing Pumpkins singer Billy Corgan recently bought the National Wrestling Alliance?

No, not the NWO, the NWA. To make up for this very bad purchasing decision he is rushing out a new album, Cotillions, which has a single, but I’m not going to weed through his tweets to find it. He still hates Pavement, which means he’s cool. — Eric W. Saeger Local (NH) bands seeking album or EP reviews can message me on Twitter (@esaeger) or Facebook (eric.saeger.9).

Literary journal creative director publishes first book

no separation between us.

There’s a unity that spreads throughout people, and throughout the day, we will encounter other people to whom we are deeply connected. Then, there’s an exercise where you take a few deep breaths, pause, and see the day rushing at you, and that seems overwhelming, but for today, we pause and let it rush at us and say, “The day is ours, and it is a gift, and no one can take that away from us.”

Peterborough-based literary journal Monadnock Underground, launched in April, has announced its first book publication, Steal This Day: 12 Simple Exercises to Claim Your Time and See the Glory in Everything, written by creative director Christopher J. DiLoreto. The self-help guide is designed to help readers improve the quality of their everyday lives Courtesy photo. and experience each day as How did you come up meaningful. DiLoreto talks with these exercises? more about the book, which is available A lot of it came out of having a conversain paperback and as an ebook on Amazon tion with myself and thinking about what I and is on sale at the Toadstool Bookstore in would want someone to say to me to remind Peterborough. of the perspective that would benefit me throughout the day. Then, I put it into words What is your writing background? that I thought would be useful to people.

It was the stuff that worked for [blog]. me.

What is the book about?

It’s a short guide to having a better day.

So, it’s 12 really simple exercises: four in the morning, four in mid-day and four for evening — each one has two parts — a blessing that’s intended to uplift the soul, and a meditation to strengthen the soul. Some might call it mindfulness. It’s really about becoming aware of the reality around us and the totality of what we see and what we are presented with in terms of the immediate moment.

What inspired you to write this book?

First and foremost, it comes from personal experience, not something that I observed in others. It was a need that I felt I lacked. In my early blogging days, I was sharing some early versions of these exercises and tried to see if others would be interested and if there was a need, and I found out that, for the most part, yes, there was. People were looking for small ways to integrate meaning into our days, especially in a hectic workplace or environment.

Can you give me an example of one of the exercises?

In the morning, it’s about starting things off on the right foot, so it starts with a blessing for the day. It would be a very simple reminder that, when we see our neighbors, there is

Mindful days

Who is your target audience?

This is geared toward people who don’t necessarily have the time or resources to have a super disciplined spiritual practice.

They may have a couple kids or a couple jobs, and maybe not a lot of money for yoga classes. In some cases, they may lack the attention span to sit in silent meditation for 20 minutes. So, this is something really simple that they can do.

What is the best way for people to use these exercises?

I encourage people to do their own experiments; change my words and play around with it. Take the concepts and make it your own. What works for me might not work for everyone. In fact, I doubt all of these will work for any one person, but if one of them helps someone to get through their day, I’ve done my job.

What would you like people to take away from the book?

I think my goal is more modest than enlightenment. I think that, on a base level, it’s about reducing anxiety and pushing people to take their first steps toward well-being.

Hopefully, it will help people get through their day with a sense of fullness and richness.

s soon as the first season of The Handmaid’s Tale (2016) on Hulu wrapped up, I wanted to read the 1985 novel it was based on. The book left me wanting more, as it ended in about the same place as Season 1.

With The Testaments we revisit Gilead 15 years later. (Although this book could hold up alone, you’ll get a better experience if you’ve read The Handmaid’s Tale or at least watched the first season.) Not much has changed; commanders rule the roost, fertility issues are widespread, Marthas tend to housework while Aunts educate young women about their place in the world, preparing them for arranged marriages.

Handmaids remain vital to the society, but they take a backseat here. There are two new narrators — Agnes, a young woman from a wealthy family living in Gilead, and Daisy, a young woman living a life of apparent freedoms in Canada — and a familiar third one, Aunt Lydia.

If the mere mention of Aunt Lydia in The Handmaid’s Tale drove fear into your heart, you likely won’t feel the same way about her in The Testaments. Her voice comes to us through a diary of sorts — she has been documenting life in Gilead for years, it turns out.

We are given a deeper look into her pre-Gilead life and her rise to power as one of the “founding aunts,” and we find she is more complex than meets the eye.

If there can be any quick take-away from The Testaments, it is simply that — people are complex, and even those living in monstrous societies aren’t necessarily monsters.

Citizens of Gilead, the imposing figure of Aunt Lydia included, are at the mercy of a power much larger than themselves.

Even Daisy in Canada, who seems to have access to everything a free society has to offer, finds herself kept in the dark about many aspects of her life, and Canada has not entirely escaped Gilead’s tentacles — missionaries called “Pearl Girls” wander the streets looking to bring new faces back to Gilead.

The Testaments is about survival in an unjust society: What will you do to survive?

I often take issue with the pacing of novels, but I found The Testaments as engaging as The Handmaid’s Tale. I recommend picking up a physical copy. It’s full of quotable gems, from Aunt Lydia in particular, that you may find yourself wanting to reference or at re-read later on.

longstanding criticism of dystopian literature is that it’s only considered such if the harsh realities of people of color start to affect white people too. Since Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale was published in 1985 readers have wondered how its Gilead regime might have fallen and what fate befell people of color during its fascist theocracy. The oppressive practices of Gilead are infamously based on real examples from history, yet Atwood neglects to reflect on how the policing of women’s bodies has been overwhelmingly aimed at women of color throughout American history. Even after the television adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale clumsily tried to un-whitewash the cast of characters, when Atwood chose to revisit Gilead in The Testaments she again focused on the struggles of white cis women.

While The Handmaid’s Tale shows the birth of a fascist regime, The Testaments shows the roots of its downfall. Because Caucasian women are the only ones allowed in Gilead, they are the ones left to be the heroes of the story. (Non-white women were transported to the “colonies,” which could have been a euphemism for genocide; little is said about it in the original book and nothing further in this sequel.)

Atwood builds tension gracefully throughout the novel; clues about each narrator’s past are laid out carefully. As soon as you discover where one trail leads, you have anxiously sniffed out the next one to uncover. The craft is not the fault I have with this novel.

Readers quickly discover that the Aunt whose handwritten account comprises one of The Testaments’ three alternating narratives is Aunt Lydia, who in The Handmaid’s Tale is one of the villains we see gleefully indoctrinating Offred and other women to the new rules of Gilead through torture. The existence of the Aunts shows how some people will seize power however they can, even if it means siding with the oppressor; in The Testaments we see exactly how Aunt Lydia falls into that path. While this provides more depth into her character, it is perplexing why Atwood wanted to make an anti-hero out of Aunt Lydia. Her decisions are necessary for her own survival, but they lead directly to the murder and rape of other women, which does not make for a sympathetic protagonist.

I won’t deny that it’s thrilling to see how the narratives thread together, but everything ties up perhaps a little too neatly. American society still needs to reckon with its past of enslaving and sterilizing women of color. They are the heroes leading the revolution, and only in fiction could you pretend otherwise.

POP CULTURE FILM REVIEWS BY AMY DIAZ

Ford v Ferrari (PG-13)

The Ford Motor Company attempts to outsexy Ferrari’s racing vehicles in the mid 1960s in Ford v Ferrari, a movie that could also be called “petulant baby-man Henry Ford II versus business visionary Lee Iacocca.”

Though Ford marketing VP Iacocca (Jon Bernthal) feels like the movie’s pick for the secondary hero here, Iacocca, Ford (Tracy Letts) and Enzo Ferrari (Remo Girone) are really just supporting characters in the central action of this movie: the attempt by racer turned custom car designer/salesman Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) to design a Ford that will out-race the dominant Ferrari race cars at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a super famous 24-hour car race in France that I hadn’t heard of until this movie. Which should give a sense of my level of racing knowledge.

Shelby races his own cars on what seem like regional racing circuits because of his own love of the sport and to help sell his high-end custom cars. One of his regular drivers is Ken Miles (Christian Bale), a British transplant who also has a love of the sport (it’s suggested that his work with Shelby has been frequently for free) and pays the bills by owning an auto repair shop. Or, rather, doesn’t pay the bills because early-ish in the story he loses the shop due to unpaid taxes. When Iacocca approaches Shelby to work on Ford cars for Le Mans, Shelby turns to Miles, who had designed or had a hand in

the design of many of the cars he raced (or at least, that’s the movie’s portrayal of all this).

Because these types of stories always seem to need these types of characters, Shelby is portrayed as more diplomatic when it comes to dealing with Ford higher-ups, including Ford himself. This skill is particularly necessary when dealing with Leo Beebe (Josh Lucas), a villainous stick-in-the-mud when it comes to stepping outside of lumbering 1950s-style management and an antagonist not only to Shelby but to Iacocca and Miles, with whom he has immediate mutual dislike.

And because every movie like this needs a difficult genius, Miles fills that role (see also Benedict Cumberbatch’s Edison in The Current War), though a more good-hearted take on this kind of character. He gets a family — young son Peter (Noah Jupe) and wife Mollie (Caitriona Balfe, who feels like a luxury that is nice for the movie to have even if her role doesn’t amount to all that much) — to help soften his sharper edges.

Ford v Ferrari is largely a process movie, giving us lots of scenes of Shelby’s team working out the puzzle of creating a faster car that can still make it through the 24-hour

race. The skill of this movie is that it can do this without boring or confusing a viewer (like me) with extremely minimal car knowledge. We also get bits of car-industry history, particularly Iacocca’s pursuit of Ferrari (his failed attempt to arrange a purchase of the Italian company by Ford leads to Ford’s interest in Le Mans, at least in the movie) and his Don Draper-y pitch to Ford to find ways to cater to the style-seeking younger car-buying market. Though the movie has a two-and-a-half-hour runtime (which seems to be the popular runtime for the awards-y movies this season), the movie never drags. I cared about the races and I cared about the working relationship between Miles and Shelby.

Since this is award season, I won’t be surprised if Bale and/or Damon wind up on at least long lists for Golden Globes and Oscar nominations. Though the movie isn’t really about either man’s life, both actors present multi-layered characters.

Charlie’s Angels (PG-13)

New Angels and a new Bosley seek to prevent a weaponizable McGuffin from falling into unspecified wrong hands in Charlie’s Angels, a fun lady action movie that picks up steam toward the end.

AND 2 movie passes (a $47 value) HIPP

CONTINUED FROM PG 48

We first meet Angel Sabina (Kristen Stewart) charming wealthy bad-guy Jonny (Chris Pang), with seduction quickly turning into a situation where Sabina keeps Jonny’s security team at bay while fellow Angel Jane (Ella Balinska) swoops in and steals a thing that is, er, proof of his crimes and/or can help recover stolen money meant for refugees? Just know that the girls save the day with a little help from their Bosley (Patrick Stewart). This isn’t the kind of movie where you should get all tangled up in details or try to understand the significance of all the doodads involved.

Particularly once we meet Elena (Naomi Scott, who was Jasmine in this summer’s Aladdin). She is a scientist working on a project for tech bazillionaire Alexander Brock (Sam Claflin). He wants to disrupt the energy market with a device about the size of a healthy snow-globe that looks like it could be a super cool pencil sharpener. Like, one from the Sharper Image that also has a magnetic side for storing paper clips. Except this thing, which is called Calisto (and is perhaps sold in a set with the AllSpark and the Tesseract), creates unlimited clean energy.

Elena’s jerk of a direct superior, Peter (Nat Faxon), isn’t interested in hearing Elena’s concerns that the item can be weaponized to assassinate people and leave no trace. So Elena turns to the Townsend Agency (the Angels’ employer, run by the mysterious Charlie) for help blowing the whistle on the soon-to-be-released Calisto.

Her actions make her the target of a mysterious assassin and to stay alive Elena must join Jane, Sabina and their new Bosley (Elizabeth Banks) in trying to secure the Calisto and its accompanying tech before Brock releases it into an unsuspecting public and before international baddies buy the ability to harness the device’s more deadly functions.

I wish I could review this movie starting with its final 30 minutes, which is full of fun and features someone giving a performance that is clearly a blast as well as a cute series of cameos. Viewed backward, Charlie’s Angels is actually a nice bit of good-time entertainment, a glass of prosecco that makes up for a lack of depth with solid flavor and bubbles.

But the movie takes a while to get revved up, stretching and doing jumping jacks for a good long while before we get to the more satisfying character elements.

Throughout, however, Kristen Stewart shines. Who knew that she was so much fun? She plays goofy here in a way I don’t think I’ve ever seen from her before and it’s fabulous. Stewart, in terms of tone and energy, starts where this movie ends up; the movie could have been all-around stronger if it could have matched her performance more closely from the beginning.

That said, this movie, which based on photos and cameos is part of the general Charlie’s Angels cinematic/television universe, is enjoyable; a lightweight (but full of good ideas) attempt at a Fast and Furious-type franchise lead by butt-kicking ladies. B Rated PG-13 for action/violence, language and some suggestive material, according to the MPA. Directed by Elizabeth Banks with a screenplay by Elizabeth Banks, Charlie’s Angels is an hour and 58 minutes long and distributed by Columbia Pictures.

The Good Liar (R)

Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen let us watch them hang out in The Good Liar.

Does it really matter that this suspense movie doesn’t actually have a lot of surprises or that the movie tips its hand pretty early about what we’re actually watching? I feel like, were there other actors in the lead, I would have felt bored, at times. But Mirren knows how to have fun without winking at the camera and McKellen knows how to make a three-course meal out of a character’s villainy, so I was well-entertained even if actors of this caliber deserve a better story.

Without giving too much away, Roy Court-

nay (McKellen) is an elegant older gentleman seeking romance — or at least what he wants Betty McLeish (Mirren) to believe. In reality, he’s not a widower with a strained relationship with his adult son, he’s an unrepentant con man who, when he isn’t working wealthy widows for their nest eggs, is engaged in other scams with partner Vincent (Jim Carter).

His polite first date with Betty leads to a second, where he employs an “injured” knee to get her to take him to her house and later to get an invitation to stay at her house while he recuperates. Their friendship, which Betty isn’t ready to make romantic yet, nevertheless moves fast — too fast for Betty’s grandson, Stephen (Russell Tovey), who occasionally stays with Betty. When Roy’s “financial adviser” Vincent shows up to help Roy rearrange his accounts, Betty considers his advice on what to do with her funds, to include Vincent’s suggestion that one way for Betty and Roy to minimize their tax liability would be for them to create a joint account.

While not rash, Betty is nonetheless trusting.

Very trusting, a-hem.

Mirren has slightly more to do, here, as

we are mostly seeing Betty through Roy’s eyes. With McKellen, we get to see his performative concern for Betty and then his actual personality in his moments with Vincent or by himself. Neither role is particularly meaty but both lean into the actor’s strengths: Mirren is good at playing someone who is holding back; we can see that things are happening behind her outward expression without giving away exactly what.

McKellen is good at filling in a personality for a character, making him engrossing without requiring us to root for him.

Is this movie the best use of their talents?

Eh. There’s something very thin about the story overall, particularly the final act which feels like a pile-up of too many plot points.

But because of these leads, The Good Liar is not a bad use of your time. BRated R for some strong violence, for language and for brief nudity, according to the MPA. Directed by Bill Condon with a screenplay by Jeffrey Hatcher (from a novel by Nicholas Searle), The Good Liar is an hour and 49 minutes long and distributed by New Line Cinema.

Born from bout with chronic illness, Wyn Doran’s solo debut is a gem

• Comedy: Even when he ruled late night television, Jay Leno remained steadfastly a standup comic, working out new bits in front of SoCal club audiences, then heading back to host the Tonight show. Leno has New England roots, attending Emerson College in Boston — he got in by telling jokes to an administrator. Along with comedy, he also hosts the CNBC series Jay Leno’s Garage. See him Thursday, Nov. 21, 7:30 p.m., Capitol Center for the Arts, 44 S. Main St., Concord. Tickets $65 to $125 at ccanh.com.

• Country: Put on some cowboy boots and kick off the weekend with Chelsey Carter, who’s performed at Country 102.5’s Street Party, opened for acts like Lonestar, Josh Thompson, Frankie Ballard and Montgomery Gentry, and done pre-shows for Garth Brooks and Zac Brown Band. Her press kit says Carter’s specialty is cheating songs; she was nominated for a New England Music Award this year. Go Friday, Nov. 22, 7:30 p.m. Pipe Dream Brewing, 49 Harvey Road, Londonderry. See chelseycarter.com.

• Christmas: Though it’s a timeless tale, Trans-Siberian Orchestra promises an allnew version of their Christmas Eve and Other Stories show as they return to the region. The holiday staple blends heavy metal, classical and Broadway-level singing with a sound and light display that’s big enough for a football stadium.

This year the band brings back the record that launched them. Go Saturday, Nov. 23, 3:30 and 8 p.m., SNHU Arena, 555 Elm St., Manchester.

Tickets are $69 and up at ticketmaster.com.

• Returning: Led by a New Hampshire native and reality show veteran, Josh Logan Trio performs. Logan played in area bands as a teenager, later going solo. In 2006 he competed on Rock Star: Supernova; in 2013 he returned to television to compete on The Voice. He’s now based in Louisville and married to fellow Voice contestant Olivia Henken, who likely will make an appearance at his hometown show. Go Tuesday, Nov. 26, 8 p.m., KC’s Rib Shack, 837 Second St., Manchester. Tickets are $8 at the door.

That sorrow and struggle make for great songs is a time-honored maxim in music, but Wyn Doran got more of both than any songwriter needs. Fortunately, she shaped her travails into a brilliant debut EP. Thick of It is a visceral work, and it feels like a miracle that she was able to create it.

Doran’s backstory is harrowing, marked by chronic illness, career changes and, incredibly, an apartment fire — enough raw material for a lifetime of music. There are uplifting moments, too. Creative connections, marriage, collaboration with a musical hero — all were part of the long path toward her first solo record.

It began in hospitals. For most of her life, Doran was bedeviled by ailments; some of them nearly killed her.

“My mind and body belong to the tubes and the bellows… spent every Christmas surrounded by blue gloves and white walls,” she sings on “Losing Hand,” a song from the new album.

When she was ultimately diagnosed with chronic autoimmune disease, it felt like both a revelation and a life sentence. Four years out of college, she quit her aerospace industry job in Nashua to study medicine.

“I decided... to go back to school and discover my own health,” Doran said in a recent phone interview.

While taking pre-med classes at Harvard, she started a band, Strangers By Accident. It was mostly as a hobby, but the effort stirred something in Doran, who’d grown up playing classical music.

“That was like scratching the surface of this peace within me that had been dormant all these years,” she said.

During the week of her first show, she got burned out of her home. Overwhelmed, Doran chose to put med school on hold. In short order, she was a full-time musician. Cur-

rently, along with her band and solo work, Doran plays with roots rockers Liz Bills & The Change.

It wasn’t until recently that Doran was able to write her own story, though — and that took help. Two years ago, she met Ben Folds at a Q&A session and spent an hour with the songwriter working on one of her first solo songs. Last spring, she applied to attend a week-long writing retreat run by Folds in California and was accepted.

She and 13 other songwriters were required to write two songs a day to be judged American Idol style by Folds and a panel. It was a grueling experience, but also incredibly rewarding for Doran.

“You really realize what you’re capable of when you’re put under the gun like that,” she said. “I sit on songs forever when I’m with myself.”

This effort also cracked open a window into Doran’s past health struggles, and gave her a way to turn her pain into art.

“I think I was extra unhealthy because I wasn’t confronting or processing all of the emotions; I just kind of kept going,” she said. “I started writing these songs, and I was really digging deeper into the suffocat-

ed feelings and emotions. So that is what this record became for me. I never really saw it coming and it was finally that channeling of all of that stuff that I had repressed in unhealthy ways, and I had an outlet.”

Thick of It is powerful medicine for anyone coping with life’s challenges. Nothing’s easy, Doran says, but hardships shape character, and point a way forward.

“Never let light trick your dark mind into defeat,” a line from “Places Unknown,” the song that leads off the new record, is a mantra of sorts.

Another great song, “Miles Above,” is both a cry for help and an awakening to Doran’s path to recovery. It’s also a fitting summation of her amazing achievement, both in life and art.

“Some say tragedies can help us start anew,” she sings. “Maybe I’m still here ’cause I have work to do.”

NEWS OF THE WEIRD BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION

The entrepreneurial spirit

About a year ago, Les and Paula Ansley of Mossel Bay, South Africa, stumbled upon a novel idea for a new type of spirit, which they call Indlovu Gin, the Associated Press reports. During a safari, they learned that elephants eat a wide variety of fruits and flowers but digest less than a third of it. “As a consequence, in the elephant dung, you get the most amazing variety of these botanicals,” Les Ansley said. “Why don’t we let the elephants do the hard work of collecting all these botanicals and we will make gin from it?” Why, indeed? They collect the dung themselves, by hand, and describe their gin’s flavor as “lovely, wooded, almost spicy, earthy.” (“Indlovu” means elephant in the Zulu language.) Each bottle’s label notes where the dung was gathered and when.

“Most people are very keen to actually taste it,” Ansley said. A bottle sells for about $32.
