7 Réveillon Dishes French Canadians Made After Midnight Mass

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. French Canadians who came south from Quebec to work the mills in Manchester, New Hampshire; Lewiston, Maine; Woonsocket, Rhode Island; and the lumber towns of Michigan's Saginaw Valley built their neighborhoods around the parish church, and that church was at the center of Christmas Eve. Midnight Mass ran late. The whole family went. When it ended, sometime after one in the morning, everyone came back to a full supper already laid out in the kitchen. That meal had a name: le réveillon, meaning the waking, because the family stayed awake through the night to eat it.

Democrats score big in New Hampshire: Splaine

Like many political addicts, I didn't get much sleep on election night. After voting at Portsmouth's New Franklin School, I went home, prepared a snack, and began watching television well into the morning, with more snacks periodically. I dozed off with the TV still on. Around 6 a.m., some loud cheers at yet another victory party woke me up, and the channel I was watching ran a summary of results nationwide. Then it came to me that darn it, I won't be getting that $5,000 . While the change in Congress is a political earthquake that hasn't been seen in Washington for decades, a similar flip for Democrats will hit our State House come December, and into the New Year. There's much good news for Democrats , and for democracy. For the first time in a decade, Democrats have strong majorities in both the N.H. House and Senate. They also took all five seats of the Executive Council, including newcomer Lisa Kennedy Sheldon of Portsmouth. That body controls many appointments to judgeships, state department head positions and budgetary spending approvals. The Senate has 15 Democrats to 9 Republicans, and Rebecca Perkins Kwoka will be Senate President. She brings three terms

Portsmouth vs. Winnacunnet football: Seacoast coaches break down Division I quarterfinal

HAMPTON — When Portsmouth/Oyster River and Winnacunnet meet Friday night in the NHIAA Division I football quarterfinals, two opposing coaches who have seen both teams believe the game could be decided where playoff football often is — at the line of scrimmage. Spaulding head coach Andy Jackson and Dover head coach Eric Cumba both pointed to Winnacunnet’s size and strength up front, while Cumba noted Portsmouth possesses plenty of physicality of its own. More: Winnacunnet vs. Portsmouth: What to know about Division I football quarterfinal “I think with both teams, the thing that kind of jumps off the page initially ... is just how good they are up front on both sides,” Cumba said. “They’re physical, they’re big, they’re strong. ... Obviously, that goes a long way in high school football.” Dover and Spaulding lost to both Winnacunnet and Portsmouth in the regular season, while Exeter lost to both in the regular season, and saw its season come to an end last Friday with a 21-0 loss to Portsmouth in the first round of the Division I playoffs. “They’re physical. They’re very physical,” Exeter head coach Bill Ball said after last Friday's loss. “Like I said, they’re a good football

Little Bay oyster farm fight grows as residents call for moratorium

DURHAM — Little Bay homeowners oppose an application from two commercial oyster farmers to establish a new four-and-a-half-acre floating gear farm , arguing existing operations already impede recreational access in the estuary. Durham and Newington residents are calling on the state to enact a moratorium on oyster farming in Little Bay, stating the number of farms has changed how boaters, paddleboarders, kayakers and fishermen can navigate the waterway. The waterfront homeowners worry for the future of the bay, saying increased bird defecation and debris from the farms poses environmental risks and pollutes the shoreline. Michael and Stephanie Miller moved to the Durham side of Little Bay four years ago, a decision they wouldn’t change. “But what will happen if this turns into one of the largest commercial oyster farming operations in the United States of America? Then the answer might be no,” Michael Miller said. “Our concern I think that we all share collectively is, how do we know that’s not going to happen?” “We pay a premium to live on the water to have the views and the access,” added Stephanie Miller. “We’ve had our taxes increased, many of us 50% to 60% over the last year. They’re taking

BG's Boathouse restaurant, a Sagamore Creek staple, listed for $12.9M in Portsmouth

PORTSMOUTH — BG’s Boathouse , the Sagamore Creek seafood restaurant and pub operated by the Graves family for just shy of 50 seasons, has been listed for sale for $12.9 million. The business was opened in 1978 by Joanne Graves and her husband, former two-term Portsmouth Mayor Bruce Graves. The late founders' son and daughter-in-law, Jeff and Lori Graves, are the current second-generation owners of the waterfront family establishment, the Sagamore Pub and a 16-slip marina. Mary Beth Hixon and Tony Jalbert, realtors with Tate & Foss Sotheby’s International Realty, are the listing agents for the Portsmouth property. The Graves family is retiring from the business, according to Jalbert. “It’s been almost 50 years since they’ve had it,” Jalbert said in a Friday, Nov. 13, interview. “It’d be a good thing. It’s been a good run, great people.” BG’s completed its 49th season after the end of service Sunday, Oct. 18. The listing packages together the 158-seat restaurant and bar, the marina, a single-family home next to the main parking area, and a separate gravel parking lot across Wentworth Road spanning about 1.4 acres. The whole property has more than 360 feet of creek frontage. Will BG's Boathouse site remain

N.H. football: Somersworth beats Monadnock, advances to DIII championship game

SOMERSWORTH – In a game where its vaunted run game was held in check, the Somersworth High School football team showed it can win in many different ways. The Hilltoppers rode an exceptional defensive effort to a 21-8 win over Monadnock in the Division III semifinals Saturday at Memorial Field. Second-seeded Somersworth (9-1) will face top-seeded Inter-Lakes/Moultonborough in the championship on Saturday, Nov. 21 at Bank of New Hampshire Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. Inter-Lakes advanced with a 42-22 win over No. 4 Campbell. Somersworth lost to Inter-Lakes, 35-30 on Sept. 11. After rushing for 444 yards in its playoff opener, Somersworth struggled to find running room against a stingy Monadnock (7-3) defense. But the Hilltoppers showed they are more than just a ground-and-pound team, as Max Ridings threw for a pair of touchdowns and the defense made sure that was all they would need. “That’s what makes this team a little different than teams in the past,” said Somersworth coach Jeremy Lambert. “Whatever we’ve had to lean on in a particular game, that group has stepped up. That’s a special group of kids right there.” The teams appeared headed for a repeat of their early-season shootout, when
