area parents are pushing for healthier school lunches
One
Seacoast middle school lunch menu lists hot dogs, macaroni and cheese,
chicken nuggets and, once a week, pizza. While these entrees are
sometimes supplemented with celery sticks or peas and carrots, some
parents and educators want to see more healthy food delivered to
schools fresh from local farms.
The Dining Facility Council in Dover has been meeting every two
months for about two years to improve school lunches and increase
student wellness through healthier eating. One member, Amy Winans,
hopes to make a difference before her young children enroll in school.
“It takes time,” she said. “It’s also ingenuity, getting people to think outside of the box.”

In what is becoming an annual tradition, Slow Food Seacoast invites
the public to a potluck Thanksgiving feast to share the harvest from
local farms, gardens and kitchens.
The 100-Mile Thanksgiving Potluck Dinner will take place at the
Portsmouth Pearl, 45 Pearl St., on Friday, Nov. 14, from 6 to 9:30 p.m.
Participants are invited to bring dishes featuring at least one
ingredient grown or raised within 100 miles of their homes.
Historically, the majority of people’s food came from within 100 miles
of their kitchens, according to John Forti, co-leader of Slow Food
Seacoast and curator of historic landscapes at Strawbery Banke Museum.
Today, less than 6 percent of our agricultural products come from
within New Hampshire.
Slow Food Seacoast will serve up locally raised roasted turkeys
from Kellie Brook Farm in Greenland and present speakers and
information on working toward a sustainable, healthy and affordable
regional food supply. The event will end with a centuries-old New
England form of entertainment—live music and contra dancing.

Restaurant Week Portsmouth digs in
Portsmouth is a
culinary destination with 252 restaurants, along with art galleries,
boutique shops, historical sites and more. In fact, according to
organizers of Restaurant Week Portsmouth, the Port City has one of the
highest concentrations of restaurants per-capita in the entire nation.
Visitors can get a taste of all the city has to offer during Restaurant
Week from Monday, Nov. 10, to Sunday, Nov. 16.
A similar event held in the spring was created by a for-profit
event organizer. This time, Restaurant Week is sponsored by the Greater
Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce. It is designed to be “for the
restaurants, by the restaurants,” said the Chamber’s tourism manager,
Nicki Noble.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit Seacoast Local, a
non-profit organization that promotes local sustainability and
prosperity. Noble said it makes sense for local businesses to invest in
the community.

Masterfoods USA
This is a confounding product: these
new Skittles look just like regular Skittles (which always looked just
like M&Ms anyway), but instead of being edible candy, they’re gum.
So they look and feel like regular Skittles, which you’d chew and
swallow, but whoah, hold on there! Don’t swallow these! They’ll ball up
in your stomach with all the other gum you’ve accidentally swallowed in
your life, and then you’ll need surgery to have the giant ball of
undigested gum removed.
It would be one thing if the flavor were novel, but they just taste
like fruity gum—disguised as an identical candy—whose form was copied
from another candy originally.... whatever.

new owners remake Molly Malone’s
The former Molly Malone’s Irish Steak House and Pub at 177 State
St. in downtown Portsmouth has closed and will soon be replaced by
McMenemy’s Restaurant and Pub.
Traci Schaake said she and husband Bob, the new co-owners, plan
to be a visible part of operations, though she may need a stool to
stand on when pouring stouts behind the bar. What the red-haired and
freckled Stratham resident lacks in height, she makes up for in heart.
“I want someone to walk in as if walking into our home,” Schaake
said. “I want people to feel as if they’re visiting friends.” She said
she’s planning a comfortable, casual, cozy neighborhood destination.
McMenemy was her grandmother’s maiden name, her
great-grandparents having come from Ireland. Schaake said sometimes her
relatives were called the “Micks” for short.
