Many years ago I was fixing a roof at the Shaker Village in Canterbury on cold, blustery day when Eldress Bertha came out and invited me in to have a piece of her apple pie (She was one of the four last living Shakers at the time). It was remarkably good and different, flavored with rose water.

That memory reminded me that NH chef James Haller, who owned the Blue Strawberry Restaurant in Portsmouth in 80s and 90s, wrote a cookbook based on recipes he gathered while living at the Shaker Village. It's called "Cooking in the Shaker Spirit." You will find many NH-ingredient-centric recipes in it.

No, YOU put the "hateful bigot" word in my mouth. I'm trying to add substance to a discussion that is often too vague and too loaded to be useful. Aside from that, can you give an example? Even a hypothetical. "not including parents in discussions" doesn't really say anything. "guardrails" doesn't say anything. If this is meaningful to you, and you have skin in the game, can you please say more about what you realistically think this bill addresses? What wrongs are corrected?

According to the Department of Corrections, the vacancy rate for entry-level corrections officers is 51 percent.

Free Market says it is time to up wages... all of these organizations are hoping a recession is around the corner and will be able to hire people like it was 2008 again and I have bad news it isn't coming.

Again... Not productive to label anyone with a different opinion a hateful bigot. If you want to troll then I guess troll on. As for examples there are multiple lawsuits across the country where parents were excluded from decisions relating to a child's gender at school. Not including parents in discussions and decisions that affect a child's emotional and physical health is wrong. I am a parent with children in NH public schools so yeah I have skin in the game. Any new law that puts in a guard rail to prevent that is resonating with parents. They just don't want to discuss it with you because you immediately label them bigots, fascists or whatever.

Thanks so much for the recommendation! We have about 75 recipes so far from library and historic locations. Many are probably very familiar to all of us locally. Looking for some real favorites from more recent submissions. I really appreciate it!

That’s your interpretation. But my own feeling is that this kind of legislation just sends the message to kids in unsupportive households that they need to shoulder the burden secretly until they’re at least 18. And that kind of isolated feeling likely has an awful emotional toll on top of the other hardships of being a trans kid
