Thursday's debate was emotional. Speaker after speaker made their case for and against amending the constitution. |
| Tag Remarks Return to index of stories... |
Following the dabate Massachusetts lawmakers voted to reject a third version of a constitutional ban on gay marriage. Gay marriage is also being debated elsewhere in the nation. Two women who've been together for 51 years received licenses and were married Thursday in San Francsico. City officials say they plan to issue more gay marriage licenses to challenge current law. And next Tuesday, New Hampshire State legislators consider a bill that would refuse to recognize gay marriage and civil unions in the granite state. We'll bring you highlights and analysis of the proceedings. |

The state of NH has spent its inheritance. Since 1999, the state has gone through nearly $200 million in reserve funds, and now has very little left for a rainy day. That is the conclusion of a new study released Wednesday by the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies. Joining us is the author of that report, Doug Hall. |

| Burdick Chocolates Return to index of stories... |
"I love a dark chocolate bar -- plain, without nuts -- daily." "There are people who get excited by chocolate. Some call them chocoholics, I prefer to call them chocophiles" Welcome to the church of chocolate where people take their faith seriously. "We're chocolate cooks, not candy makers." That's Larry Burdick. He and his wife Paula founded Burdick Chocolates in 1987. Their journey here, to Walpole started in France where Larry learned to cook. Eventually, he became fascinated with chocolate. In fact, he ended up on a pilgrimage to Switzerland. "While I was there, I realized that what they were doing was not being done here." So, Larry made it happen here. He hired skilled chefs and whenever possible, found local farms to buy ingredients. "The biggest difference is what we put in our product. Not many people spend what we do on ingredients. Like any other cooking, you can't go wrong when you use the right ingredients such as fresh butter and cream." It's the way Larry remembers chocolate tasting, years ago in Switzerland. "I want them to have a gastronomical experience - to taste activity in their mouths. I want them to realize that chocolate is an agricultural food. Some people who are used to candy will not like our chocolates. They say that they are bitter. Well, this is how real chocolate tastes." A lot of what is made here is sold through mail orders. Larry also hand delivers these confections to gourmet shops throughout the northeast. This little critter has become a perennial favorite. "It started out as a special once and they caught on quickly. Now the mice are a part of the regular menu. 1 in 20 people don't like them. They say ohhhh I can't eat a rodent." They must taste better than the real thing as they sell out quickly for Christmas and Valentine's Day. And what about this special Valentine's evening? Larry has a suggestion. "The ideal setting is a fine meal followed by a nice glass of wine and a small plate of chocolates. It's a great end to the evening." |
