Northampton Pride after-party to raise funds

T

HE NORTHAMPTON Pride Parade has grown by leaps and bounds over the decades and is now one of the largest events the city holds.

With an expected turnout of up to 40,000 people on Saturday, Pride is not just a citywide celebration, but truly a regional party for people in the LGBTQIA community as well as for friends who support them.

The parade steps off at 11 a.m. from Old South Street and continues down Main Street to the 3 County Fairgrounds.

And while some may be tuckered out after a day of reverie and partying, others will want to keep the celebration going.

Luckily, there is an after party that not only accommodates those hardy types, but also does so for a good cause: raising money for next year’s Pride celebrations.

Starting around 6 p.m. at VFW Post 8006 in Northampton, the Noho Pride 2019 Official After Party will feature a spectrum of fun, including burlesque shows, drag com-

Kentucky Derby Party from 4:30-6:30 p.m. The casino resort will also feature a day of fun on Sunday for Cinco de Mayo with a mariachi band and tequila bar. MGM Springfield is at 4 MGM Way. • Also on Derby Day, there will be the usual party at Joe’s Cafe in Northampton starting George Lenker around midday. I’ve been Club Scout to this fantastic celebration many times over the years and there is nothing quite like it.

It gets crowded so get there VFW Post 8006 is at 18 Meadow St. in the Florence early. Joe’s is at 33 Market St. section of the city.

Alonzo Bodden talks about road to comedy career

I

By Keith O’Connor

Special to The Republican

f you were to call comedian Alonzo Bodden a “rocket scientist,” you would be close.

Before turning to comedy, Bodden, who will appear at Roar! Comedy Club at MGM Springfield for three nights beginning today, had a career in the aerospace industry.

“For 10 years I built and fixed airplanes, and I trained new mechanics,” said Bodden, who graduated from Aviation High School in Long Island City, New York.

“Then in 1988, long before

it became the thing to do, a career move, I went into rehab for my addiction to cocaine,” he added.

Bodden noted he always had the ability to make others laugh, which continued during his stint in rehab, encouraging him to pursue a career of comedy in Hollywood.

“When you are starting out, you look for stage time ... open mic nights, book stores, bowling alleys, recreation rooms at trailers parks, anywhere you can get stage time,” he said.

His hard work led to his first big comedy break on the “New Faces of Comedy” showcase at industry festival Just For Laughs in Montreal.

But, it was on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing,” where he was the Season 3 “The Best of the Best” winner, that Alonzo attracted America’s attention.

“I got better gigs as a result and more money. I started doing all the late night shows and television and movies.

Again, all this work came from recognition ... getting on people’s radar with the help of “Last Comic Standing.”

If you go Event: Alonzo Bodden When: Today, 8 p.m.; Tomorrow, 7:25 p.m.; Saturday, 7:15 p.m., 9:45 p.m Where: MGM Springfield’s Roar! Comedy Club at the Armory Cost: $32 For more info: Online at mgmspringfield. mgmresorts.com

starring Steve Martin and Queen Latifah. Three years ago, Showtime came calling for the second time resulting in the comedy special “Historically Incorrect,” where Bodden touched upon being gluten free, millennials, and the NFL’s unwanted spotlight.

“I love topical comedy, social commentary, you know talking about what is going on in the news. Comedy has never been more difficult than now. My job is to create something funnier than reality, and if you follow the news today, that’s pretty tough to do. Just the other day, Trump called the Great Lakes ‘great’ because they are so deep.

Jessie Smollett allegedly paid “I guess you can say I’m also the only comedian two black men to pretend who helped build the top secret F-117 stealth they were white and beat him fighter aircraft back in the ’80s, who later up. Then there’s billionaire Robert Craft. There’s just no entertained the pilots flying them.” way to predict how much will Alonzo Bodden change over the weeks before my appearance at MGM. I also do a lot of personal stuff about my life and what is As my manager says, “Work born,” and “The Keenen begets works. The more you Ivory Wayans” show. His film going on,” Bodden said.

He’s also “performed his work, the more work that credits include “Scary Movie comes up for you. And that 4,” “The Girl Next Door,” and duty” for his country.

SEE COMEDY, PAGE E20 began happening for me,” “Bringing Down the House” Bodden said.

Today the popular comedian is a regular on NPR’s “Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!” and “Comedy Congress,” as well as being a panelist on the Over 1,000 pleasure products Game Show Network’s “Mind to choose from with of a Man.” He has also starred knowledgeable staff available in the comedy special “Who’s to answer questions.

Young@Heart to reconnect with Chicago Children’s Choir for show

By George Lenker

Special to The Republican

It’s always great and often moving when the young and the old get together to create something special, and so that will probably be the case on Saturday when The Young@ Heart Chorus and Chicago Children’s Choir team up once again for “Mash-Up VII” at 7:30 p.m. at the Academy of Music Theatre in Northampton.

Young@Heart and the CCC are both world-renown for their commitment to changing lives through music, albeit from different stages of life.

The choruses will sing separately and together, covering musical ground from Matisyahu to The Specials and Manhattan Transfer to Chicago’s own Sly and the Family Stone, and much more.

The Hyde Park Neighborhood Choir of Chicago Children’s Choir has been lauded as one of the highlights of the South Side of Chicago. CCC Director Mollie Stone, who attended Amherst College, talked about the impact of the collaboration between her group and Young@Heart: “When our Chicago Children’s Choir Hyde Park Neighborhood Choir toured to Northampton in 2014 to

collaborate with Young@ Heart, our singers’ lives were transformed. For the first time, they realized that the powerful experience of singing together and creating community within the context of an ensemble was a gift they could share for their entire lives,” she said.

“They started to understand that their music- making truly functioned as a way to create community with people from any background, any age, and any part of the world.”

Young@Heart Director Bob Cilman said his group enjoys working with the CCC. “We love collaborating with a group from Chicago.

So much great music gets made there,” he said. “These kids are from the South Side which gets a lot of headlines for some of the worst news.

These kids from the Chicago Children’s Choir are the good news and we are very fortunate to be able to present them to our fans. The last time we did was a real love fest.”

Stone went on to say that although her young singers had been performing for their elders at senior centers around Chicago for years, they had never had the chance to see their elders as fellow per-

formers, and collaborators.

“Witnessing an entire ensemble of elderly singers coming together to sing music from genres that are usually perceived as belonging to the younger generation also gave our singers an important understanding that one can cross the imagined boundaries imposed on us by society— that they have the ability to learn about any type of music,

Delhi to Kathmandu showcases authentic Indian, Nepali cuisine

L

OCATED ON WHITE Street in a space vacated a while back by a popular Italian eatery, Delhi to Kathmandu Cuisine, as its name implies, specializes in authentic Indian and Nepali food.

The adjoining storefront spaces that make up the restaurant are done up in cream and scarlet. Tables and chairs are the dominant form of seating, although there are a few booths in the mix.

The menu at Delhi to Kathmandu is dominated by the cooking of Northern India.

Tandoori (clay oven) specialties listed include Chicken Kabab ($10.49) and Tandoori Lamb Chops ($23.49); Chicken Tikka Masala ($13.49), Rogan Josh (lamb Mughal-style – $13.49), and Beef Coconut Curry ($15) are among other options available.

Vegetarian main dishes range from Tofu Tikka Masala ($10.49) and Palak Paneer (fresh cheese with spinach – $10.49) to Rajma Dal (spiced kidney beans in cream – $8.49) “Authentic Nepali Dishes” is a menu category populated by Pork Chili Nepali Style – $8.49), Beef Suguti ($10), and Chicken Momo ($10). The restaurant also offers Nepali platter dinners featuring Chicken ($11.95), Fish ($12.95) or Goat ($12.95).

Starters include choices such as turnover-like Somosa ($4.99) and Onion Bhaji ($6.99).

We began our meal by sharing an order of Chicken Tikka ($12.49). Made with cubed chicken marinated in a spiced yogurt before being roasted in a tandoori oven, the tikka was presented on a bed of deliciously charred strips of onion and bell pepper. Those caramelized, savory-sweet vegetables nicely enhanced the chicken’s subtly seasoned heat.

From Delhi to Kathmandu’s “spiced rice” listings, we sampled Seafood Biryani ($15.49). Richly infused with saffron, the rice had been

additionally enhanced with an Indian masala (spice blend).

Suggestion of cinnamon and cloves were present; charred onions and cashews also made their own flavor contributions.

The “seafood” presence was limited to shrimp, but that fact didn’t diminish our enjoyment of the dish.

The biryani came with a mellow, complexly spiced dal (lentil puree) and raita, a cooling blend of yogurt and grated cucumber.

Chicken Korma ($13.49) is a staple of the Indian-American restaurant repertoire, but the version served at Delhi to Kathmandu was in no way ho-hum.

Korma is a foundation sauce in South Asian cookery. It’s a creamy, flavorful creation that relies on aromatic veggies like onion, garlic, and tomato as

well as a host of spices. When properly made, the korma “whole” can be greater than the sum of its parts.

Delhi to Kathmandu’s korma was silken-textured and sophisticated. Served over cubed chicken and paired with a side of fragrant basmati rice, it made for an experience we’d happily repeat.

Turning to the Nepali portion of the menu, we also tried Goru Ko Thukpa (Himalayan Noodle Soup – $8.95). The soup’s a cold climate comfort food; the broth that serves as its foundation is bracingly flavored with aromatic veggies and herbs.

We’d asked that our thukpa be made with beef and were rewarded with a bowlful of savory broth, lots of wheat noodles, and cubes of tender, high-quality beef. Strips of

onion, yellow Holland peppers, and carrot shreds contributed color and crunch while fresh lime juice gave the dish a hint of acidity.

Delhi to Kathmandu is not yet licensed, so beverage choices are limited to soft drinks and various yogurt-based quaffables. Until such time as its license is approved, the restaurant welcomes BYOB. A short list of desserts suggests the likes of ice cream and Kheer (rice pudding – $3.95). The Gulab Jamun (syrup-soaked milk fritters – $2.95) the restaurant prepares are as good as it gets, and Falooda ($6.95) was an elabo-

rate beverage dessert we’d not previously encountered.

Made with soaked basil seeds (think tapioca), par-cooked vermicelli, and chilled milk that’s been flavored with rose water, falooda is layered into a glass, topped with a scoop of ice cream, and garnished with chopped pistachios. We appreciated its interesting array of flavors and textures.

Packaging challenges for delivery, to-go orders

WO TRENDS ARE increasingly working at cross purposes to create a thorny dilemma for the restaurant industry.

The first of those trends is a growing demand for delivery at all price points in the dining out world, from fast food to fine dine. Restaurants are finding delivery (and curbside pickup) to be relatively low-cost ways to build capacity and thus revenue, particularly when they partner with a third-party delivery service like Grubhub or Uber Eats.

However, the need to employ single-use packaging to support a food delivery strategy is putting the industry squarely in the sights of another current of social change – the increasing pressure, both in the form of regulation and public opinion, for businesses to minimize or altogether eliminate the use of plastic disposables.

Moreover, though this new class of takeout supplies might be less permanent than thinfilm plastic bags and hard-plastic forks, their ability to be recycled is often constrained by the lack of systems that are willing or able to handle “compostable” waste. The result is that high-priced, “green” Hugh Robert packaging options end up in Off The Menu the traditional solid waste stream, where they either get Items once thought of as es- incinerated or entombed in sential to a successful food-to- a landfill.

especially if you’re surrounded by strangers who sound like they know a lot more about wine than you.

Relax. Remember, tasting wine should be fun. And if you don’t have enough time to taste every wine, it’s OK. Hopefully, you’ll have another chance to try the wines you missed.

But, perhaps, that won’t be the case. Hopefully, you’ll get to try every wine at the tasting. That’s why I put together these 10 tips designed to help you gracefully tackle a wine tasting.

Welcome to the wonderful, yet, sometimes frustrating world of wine tastings. So many good wines to try, yet so little time.

But even if you’re at a friend’s place and faced with tasting a dozen or so wines – or maybe even just three or four – it can be intimidating if you’ve never tried several different wines in a short time in a public setting.

Wine can be intimidating for many people. And the fear of saying the wrong thing about a certain wine often strikes fear in many people,

New England brewers back in business — in old England

I

2015. According to the Food & Wine story, they really wanted to own their own brewery, so contract brewing was not ideal.

So the really good news is that these two superb people have finally achieved their dream, even if it is a few thousand miles and a big ocean away from me.

I have never made it to England, mainly because Ireland is in the way and it’s hard for me to not stop there and just stay. But if anything might tempt me to take the puddle-jumping flight over the Irish Sea to Great Britain, a visit to Sheffield and Saint Mars of the Desert just might be the thing to do it.

Road (air?) trip, anyone?

HAVE SOME GOOD news and some bad news.

The good (actually great) news is that Dann Paquette and Martha Holley-Paquette are back in the beer business, The bad (but not really bad, just inconvenient for people like me) news is that their business is in jolly old England.

A recent Food & Wine magazine article profiled the couple’s latest venture, Saint Mars of the Desert, a brewery in Sheffield in the North Midlands of England. The name is a reference to a location in France, according to the article. I heard that this was happening a few months ago, but had not kept up with the

pair’s latest news until I saw the recent article.

The couple, of course, are best known for Pretty Things Beer & Ale Project, a small contract brewery that started in 2008 and grew beyond what Dan and Martha originally intended. The brewery made a number of exceptional beers, including my favorite, Meadowlark IPA, as well as the Belgian tripel Fluffy White Rabbits, Babyaga, a delicious stout, and the incredibly popular and highly acclaimed saison, Jack D’Or. Not surprisingly, Saint Mars of the Desert has created its own version of Jack D’Or, according to the Food & Wine article.

and realize you still have a lot of wines to taste, my advice would be to speed up if possible. Maybe take fewer notes.

Or take quicker sips. Or just take photos of the wines you feel free to use any words or aerating the wine. What does started attending big wine like the most. That way, you tastings years ago, I used to phrases you want. If the wine that mean? Basically, you’re can taste as many wines as think people who spit out tastes like roasted cherries releasing the wine’s flavors, possible at the tasting.

Or it can be something as simple as deciding whether to go clockwise or counterclockwise around the room.

It’s your personal plan. You decide.

2. SWR – Still intimidated

and not sure where to start?

When in doubt, my advice would be to taste wines in this order: Sparkling, White, Red (SWR). Sparkling wines often taste refreshing on the palate.

And many red wines can be overpowering if you taste them first. But if you want to go in a different order, that’s fine, too. I’m just sharing what my strategy often is at a tasting.

3. Take notes – I know it

can be challenging to taste wine with one hand and take notes with the other. Believe me, I know very, very well.

But all that hassle can be worth it because the more wines you taste, the harder it can be to keep straight what you liked or didn’t like. Your notes can be as brief or as detailed as you want. And

George Lenker Beer Nut

Dann, as beer aficionados will know, was the brewer behind the legendary Leatherlips from the The Tap at the Haverhill Brewery, one of the early hop-forward brews back in 2004. But despite the hop-heavy tilt of the brew business over the past decade

(and Dann’s talent for making them, as evidenced by Leatherlips and Meadowlark), he and Martha have forged their own path with amazing success.

That said, however, the Food & Wine piece noted that the brewery has started what it calls “Desert’s Attercliffe Industrial Hop Series — Attercliffe being a neighborhood in Sheffield – and the first offering is a New England IPA that is a double dry-hopped DIPA with Rakau and Citra hops. Sounds good to me.

And as abrupt as the end of Pretty Things was, the brewery was never meant to be a permanent business, as Martha told me in an email after the company decided to close in

Relax. Remember, tasting wine should be fun. And if you don’t have enough time to taste every wine, it’s OK. Hopefully, you’ll have another chance to try the wines you missed.
