Fall arrived quickly this year, with thunderstorms and wind, and a few warm sunny days tossed into the mix. Soon the shorter day length and cooler weather will mean we can stop mowing the lawns, irrigating the fields, and weeding the veggie garden. At our little farm we’re loading up on firewood and hay for the winter, and doing a little bit of canning (elderberry jam). The doesand especially the bucks- in our goat herd are concentrating this month on increasing family sizes. This means that in February and March we’ll be hearing the pitter patter of many little hooves.

“Idaho Bucket List” Author Wins Contest By Mary Keating
Southern Idaho Tourism proudly announces their 1st annual Southern Idaho Blog Contest Winner, Monica McCue. Her short and ‘sweet’ article about Fredrickson’s Fine Candy captures the heart of Idaho living – tradition, family and celebration. Her winning entry is currently featured at www. visitsouthidaho.com/blog/fredericksons-fine-candy. While it was her entry that earned her top honors, it is the story behind the box of chocolates that sheds light on a true Idaho gem. McCue is the founder and author of the Idaho Bucket List, www.idahobucketlist.blogspot.com. Through pictures and personal stories, it is clear McCue has an exceptional passion for everything Idaho. “I have lived in Idaho my whole life and from time to time I hear either about fun events and places in the State that I did not even know existed or I hear people complain that there is nothing to do,” McCue said. “My goal is to seek out events in the surrounding areas, presently in the lower part of the state, and let everyone know about them.” McCue, accompanied by her husband, Jacob, enthusiastically and poignantly shares their Idaho adventures. Her pages are filled with photos and tales of events, local eateries and recreational explorations. Since February of 2013, McCue has covered everything from Wild Asparagus to the Winter Carnival in McCall; Miracle Hot Springs in Hagerman to the Morrison Performing Arts Center in Boise; the Historic Theatre in Glenns Ferry to Basque bread in Wendell; camping in Stanley to swimming at Lava Hot Springs; and from Trailing of the Sheep event in Ketchum to Thunder Mountain train rides in Horseshoe Bend. The site shows the diversity, splendor and recreation that can only be found in the great state of Idaho. In addition to her unique quest to catalog events, local hot spots and recreational opportunities, she also maintains an Idaho calendar of events that is both compact and comprehensive. “We love the recreation, climate, people, businesses and hidden gems of Idaho,” McCue said. “Places and recreational spots are so accessible and when it comes to community events, if people know about them and what they can expect when they go, more people will put a note on their calendars and attend.” McCue is a self-professed ‘frequent flyer’ on a number of Idaho Chamber of Commerce websites, the library, visitsouthidaho.com, as well as thisisboise.com. “When I go somewhere, I want to know, in advance, how much money I will need, what to pack, what rentals are available in the area and great places to find good food,” McCue said. “Online there are maps so we can plan our routes, information so we can know what is happening and loads of other helpful details that can help us really enjoy our travels. It takes a little research and planning to get prepared for each trip. All that I learn, I share with others on my blog.” As the weather changes, McCue’s quests are trending toward autumn activities like the Corn Maze in Meridian, the Haunted Tours in Old Town Pocatello, Oktoberfest in Boise, as well as the many harvest events and Christmas parades. “To see what you may have been missing in Idaho, consider looking at our blog or friend us on Facebook at ‘The Idaho Bucket List,’” McCue said. “My husband and I love to travel around and go places we have never been before. The more we explore and research, the more we really see that Idaho has it all and then some. Idaho is a place where anyone and everyone can fill their bucket list.” If you have a special place or event to add to her calendar or find out if she will feature your event on her blog, contact her online or on Facebook. McCue is open to suggestions and looks forward to building new friendships around the state.

Showing Up by Christina O’Brien ©2013 Messing Around in Boats “What’s that?!” Kristin whispered as we drifted toward an overhanging willow on the Boise River. It was an August morning, cool and shady on the river, though already sweltering hot away from the water. She had spotted a dark, bulky shape high up in its branches. Despite our quiet approach, it launched itself out the back side of the willow and disappeared out of sight before we could pin down its identity. Then, from far above us, a feather gently spiraled down, down, down through a shaft of sunlight– right into the canoe, right into Kristin’s outstretched hand. That’s why I love canoeing. And why I agree with Kenneth Grahame, who put it so well in the first chapter of the Wind In The Willows, when Mole has abandoned his spring cleaning and fallen in with Water Rat. Ratty says: “There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats”. Having a canoe but no canoeing partner (Mike being often occupied with other projects), last fall I donated a half-day canoeing lesson to a silent auction benefitting a local charity. Kristin, who won the lesson, had so much fun that she contacted me this spring and asked for more. That sounded like a match made in heaven, so we’ve met weekly to canoe all summer long. Evening paddles after work, on a local pond, were a welcome relief from the oppressive heat of July and August. Quinn pond was a good place for Kristin to practice forward strokes, then back paddles, then draws and pries, then various combinations of same, until she was comfortable handling the bow position (for landlubbers, that’s the front seat). As we explained to a visiting Chinese colleague who accompanied us one evening, the person in the bow is the motor, the person in the stern (aka back seat) is the steering wheel (FYI, this is a gross over-simplification, but it’s a good starting point for beginners). The pond also gave us a good start on building up our canoeing muscles. At first we groaned and grunted as we heaved the canoe off and on the pickup, then lugged it to and from the pond, and cheerfully accepted the help that the tattooed hangers-on around the launching steps always chivalrously offered. After a couple of weeks, though, we both grinned, said “No thanks, we’ve got it”, and trotted proudly up the stairs and across the parking lot, to amused applause. In our hours on the pond, I also discovered that Kristin is a kindred spirit. She likes to sit quietly and watch the goings-on of dragonflies, sunfish, swallows, and other wildlife as much as I do, so we frequently rest our paddles on the gunwales and lapse into a comfortable silence, communing with nature. By mid-summer, we were ready to tackle the Boise River. Our first trip was a calm and easy stretch above Boise, which allowed ample time to birdwatch and gave Kristin her first lessons in portaging around irrigation diversion dams, a common occurrence on Idaho rivers. The next trip, just south of Boise, was more challenging. The river was narrower, faster, and twistier, so the steering wheel (me), got a good workout, and Kristin learned that there was more to canoeing than just lily-dipping and wildlife watching. That was the trip of The Feather, which was a gift from the wing of a great horned owl. In mid-September, we drove up to Cascade and paddled a state-designated nine-mile flatwater canoe trail on the Payette River. Although we hadn’t planned it, it was the heart of migration, and the birdwatching was phenomenal. Around every bend in the river was another surprise; a trio of yellowlegs probing along a sandbar, a chickadee calling from a lodgepole pine copse, a flurry of teal bursting from a backwater, or a tiny spotted sandpiper winging past us to land on a snag in the water. One of the many gifts that day was the sound of three sandhill cranes bugling as they drifted southward above us, riding a thermal updraft above the valley floor on their way to Arizona or beyond. I’m so glad we chose that day to go messing about in boats.

Idaho Fish & Game Volunteer Riparian Projects Volunteers are sought for these riparian projects in the Magic Valley: •Wednesday, Nov 6: Willow Pole Cutting at Stanton Crossing (southwest of Bellevue, ID)) – For this “half-day” morning project we will cut willow and cottonwood poles to be planted at the Little Wood river. Generally it takes us about two hours using hand tools to cut enough poles, which will be planted the next day. Volunteers need to dress for working outside (boots/ gloves, etc) in the conditions of the day, and bring food/water. You’re welcome to bring a pair of loppers or pruners, or we can provide you with tools.
Twin Falls County Fairgrounds, Filer, Idaho Contacts: Ray Pond (208) 404-3276 Kelly Peterson (208) 543-8094
•Thursday, Nov 7: Planting at Little Wood River (northeast of Richfield, ID) – This will be a “full-day” project (but a short day). We will have a lot of young students on this day, so having some adult volunteers willing to assist them would be great. However if that’s not your cup of tea, you can work separately at your own pace. The work will consist of trimming and inserting cut willow and cottonwood poles in the river bank, and also planting 1-gallon golden currant with hand tools. Volunteers need to dress for working outside in the conditions of the day, and bring a full water bottle. Hand tools will be provided. Also, a sack lunch and soft drink will be provided for planting volunteers on this day.
NO LOADED FIREARMS ALLOWED AT SHOW INCLUDING PERSONAL! ALL PARTICIPANTS AGREE TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL LAWS AND SHOW MANAGEMENT POLICIES!
Security provided Friday & Saturday nights. Sponsored by Pond Relic Ammo and staff are not responsible for lost, stolen, broken items, accidents, or fire.
•Saturday, Nov 9: Planting at Niagara Springs Wildlife Management Area (near Jerome, ID) – This “half-day” project will consist of planting 1-gallon golden currant (and maybe willow poles) adjacent to a pond and irrigation ditch at the WMA. Volunteers need to dress for working outside (boots/ gloves, etc) in the conditions of the day, and bring food/water. We could also use extra shovels on this day, so please bring one if you have one.
Soldier Mountain News by Valerie Metzger
Here we are in our second season! Last season Soldier Mountain had many upgrades, renovations and improvements and we had our first big music festival. Many thanks to our staff, sponsors and volunteersfor a season well done. Now here we are painting and fixing for the upcoming season and getting ready for all of your happy faces to visit us again. One of the fun changes for the mountain includes the restoration of the original names to some of the runs and the naming of some new runs. Soldier Mountain Ski Area, Inc. is always looking to include more skiers/boarders of all abilities and will have some new powder glades ready and will have the new cat ready for cat skiing/boarding adventures. Another improvement to make your ski day easier is the new Magic Carpet surface lift, which is a conveyer belt taking beginners up the hill so that we can teach kids of all ages. Soldier Mountain is a user-friendly place, ready for everyone to come and play. Our history has always been a home-grown ski hill built on family pride and family traditions. Come join us in keeping the history alive and in feeling the good vibes of this unique mountain. “This is your mountain,” Kristi Scheirmeier, Lodge Manager, always says, and “We need you to come be a part of it and help us continue the traditions.” ---------------------If anyone has information on some of the original ski run names, or history for any run, please let us know. If we choose your name suggestion there will be a prize! Soldier Mountain would like to honor people who put their heart and effort into Soldier. Possible trail name inspirations could be Alex Sinclair, Bruce Willis, and Harry Daryl, or Doran Cluer. We will consider all suggestions and would like any history you have to go with your suggestions. Send to info@soldiermountain.com
TO SIGN UP, OR IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS: Please RSVP by October 28 and I’ll get you on the list and fill you in on the details (meeting times, locations, etc). Here’s hoping for lovely fall weather!

Mistakes
My friend, Janelle, accidentally used a box of cake mix to make cornbread recently. The story she told was quite humorous and reminded me of all the times I have experimented in the kitchen. Of course I wasn’t aware I was experimenting at the time. This actual incident occurs when one tries to figure out what to do after realizing something has been left out, too much has been put in, or ingredients have been cooked too long. In Janelle’s case she grabbed the wrong box off the shelf. (No judgement here Janelle, I promise.) I don’t have many serious core philosophies when it comes to cooking except one. I don’t like to hear people expressing fear in the kitchen, as in being afraid to make mistakes. I can’t tell you how many times I have forgotten to add an ingredient, added the wrong ingredient or just had extenuating circumstances occur during the cooking process. I have often lived my life in a hurry and sometimes my culinary efforts have suffered the consequences. However, these cooking mistakes can often create an amazing food invention, something which would have never occurred without an error or miscalculation. The Tollhouse Cookie, our number one favored cookie in this country, started out as a mistake! Ruth Wakefield and her husband owned The Tollhouse Inn in the 1930’s. One day she decided to add chopped chocolate to her shortbread cookie dough thinking the chocolate would simply melt into the dough and make chocolate cookies. These pieces of chocolate kept their shape and when Ruth pulled the cookies out of the oven a star was born! In 1939, Tollhouse started to produce, package and sell it’s chocolate morsels all due to Ruth’s supposed mistake. I myself have made the same kind of “edible errors” at the restaurant. We had a recipe for a carrot souffle given to us by another chef. It quickly became a customer favorite. I was making it for a Saturday night dinner and forgot to add a seriously important ingredient in a souffle. It was not until it was taken out of the oven in the single serving dishes that I realized something was definitely different this time. This usually beautiful puffed-up side dish had no volume, no poof to it. Like a hairstyle in the rain, flat! I quickly realized which ingredient I had missed. EGGS! I had no time to change the side dish or redo it. We were serving the plates at that moment to customers sitting at the table. I brought it out and didn’t say a word as I set the plates down. I walked back into the kitchen and started to think about other states I could move to and other occupations I could pursue. I reluctantly went back out to the dining room to check on the customers expecting to see little ramekins with a single, small bite taken out of them and never touched again. A women said to me, “What is this side-dish? It’s delicious!” I responded, “Carrot...um...(Think Jane, think.)... pudding!!” Several people at the table commented on how much they liked this avant garde way to serve carrots and I was overjoyed that I didn’t have to move away! Now these stories do not always turn into food fairytales with a happy ending. My dear aunt, Carole Ann, has had a few mishaps in the kitchen in her day. I feel I can say this in respect as she and I are very much alike. “Auntie C”, as she is known in the family, always made the pies for our holiday gatherings. One year, as she began to cut and serve her pumpkin pie she exclaimed, “Oh shoot! I forgot the crust!” (Except she didn’t say shoot.) She had cooked the pumpkin part but forgot the flaky part on the bottom! The pies were definitely missing something that year but it was worth the story to add to our family’s archives. So please feel free to add a “little something” or replace “this with a little of that”. Understand that sometimes you might have to throw your meal away and eat somewhere else that night, but you will learn from your mistakes. I’m starting to think this practice of experimenting may just be what it is all about. In all aspects of life, you’ll never know until you try, right?

Here is the Carrot Souffle’ recipe from Chef Floyd: 1 pound carrots, washed and cut into 1 inch chunks 3 eggs, slightly beaten. 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar (depending on how sweet you want it) 1/2 cup butter 3 tablespoons flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon vanilla Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put carrots in a medium-size saucepan and cover with water. Place pan on burner and bring to a boil. Turn down to medium heat and cook carrots for 45 minutes or until tender. Drain the water off of the carrots and place back in the pan if using a hand blender or place carrots in a food processor. Add the butter and allow it to melt with the carrots for 3-5 minutes. Process until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the other ingredients and spoon into a greased 1 quart baking dish or 6 small ramekins. Bake for 45 minutes or until set. The souffle’ will puff up while cooking (as long as you include the eggs) and slightly deflate when taken out of the oven. Serve immediately.

Brailsford Ditch Blowout Major damage occurred along the road to the state and federal fish hatcheries in Hagerman last month, when an irrigation ditch bank failed. The photo at right shows how runoff created a new channel in the soft sands between the trees. The photo below shows road damage and large trees that fell into the crevasse. The road remains closed, with a detour available off the 2900 road.
