Add in fresh snow peas and some pickled red onions for a tangy salad, and the leftovers are better than the original!! Yum.

The wife was in town today, and needed to go to Costco for a few things. I had her pick up a rotisserie chicken while she was there. There is no better starting point for a basic fresh meal than hot roasted chicken!!! Garlic bread was tops also!!

Thanks for catching the number difference. Looking at census numbers, and projections on growth, I think the guy was mistaking the growth from 600,000 to 800,00 people from 2010 until now. At the present 7-8% growth, the last numbers I saw projected was for the Treasure Valley to be above one...

A couple more UN's from other states (Nev and Kansas), and we are really starting to sweat getting any tags at all this year. Fingers crossed so hard, I'm starting to get cramps!! To enjoy the nice weekend, we loaded up about 4 families and all went to the Baumgartner Campground up by...

Came up blowing and thunder and lightning, high winds on the patio. I settled for baked chicken thighs and fries for the wife, CFS and fries for me. Didn't have time for a proper black pepper country gravy, so subbed in lots of Tabasco!!! Still pretty good tho!!

Got back in late today. had an awesome trip into the mountains for five days with all the family. Lost a close family member the day we started out, so next weekend will be our Memorial spent in Idaho Falls. We ate too much, drank too much, shared chores, and generally behaved like we were 20...

Five day Memorial Day trip into the mountains for the entire family. Ended up at Baumgartner on the South Fork of the Boise. We always share meals and recipes, duties, and everybody contributes to the enjoyment of all the others. This morning, I told him it was all on him. Not bad for a 30 inch...

Fired up the Camp Chef. Laid out a pound of bacon, and grilled the burgers. Gorgonzola for the win!! Sweet corn is starting to show up in the grocery

I remembered you mentioned you like this. With all the wonderful Vidalia onions showing up now, I just had to make a batch. The Pacific organic beef broth is much better, but they were out. Had to fall back on the Campbells beef broth.

I watched a very interesting interview with a gentleman who had studied the increase in population from 2010 to 2020. The Boise area increased almost 600,000 people in those ten years, and over two thirds of them were from out of state. Predominately CA, OR, and WA. The 30% of Idaho residents...

Properly browned and caramelized. That's a lot of paying attention to get it just right!!! A good onion soup takes several hours, but it was well worth it!!! The G&T helped me focus!! :)

Thought I had some in the freezer to take a picture, but was out. Had to go on the web and find a stock picture. One of the things we love is these breadsticks. Very similar to Olive Garden, and you can top with butter, parm, and garlic. Usually find at WalMart or Kroger/Fred Meyer

I've posted this before, but in a couple months it will be tomato and canning season again. I love home-made marinara when its in the freezer, but store bought is OK if you add lots of sausage, seafood, or veggies Fresh Tomato Marinara Ingredients 3 Tbsp EVOO 1/2 onion, chopped (leave large...
