GOOD CHEER Beer lovers, rejoice! Idaho is the world’s largest hop producer, and more and more people are taking advantage of our agricultural bounty by opening breweries in the Treasure Valley. Share a few of these treasures with visiting family members and their only question will be “How did we not come here sooner?” 5. Meanwhile, heat a cast-iron skillet to medium-high. 6. Lightly coat skillet with oil and cook patties in batches. Brown one side undisturbed, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until desired doneness, about 3 minutes for medium. 7. Serve on toasted potato rolls with your favorite accompaniments. • 16 small potato rolls, toasted • Salt and pepper, to taste • Your favorite burger accompaniments

MOUNTAIN RANGES Surrounded by the Rocky Mountains, we don’t have to go far to find mountaintop winter activities. If skiing or tubing is your idea of winter fun, Bogus Basin is just a short drive away, and heading to McCall makes a fun weekend getaway. ... AND RIVERS Not only are we surrounded by the Payette and Boise rivers, Idaho is also home to the deepest gorge in North America: Hells Canyon. Take that, Arizona! 1. Divide beef into 16 evenly sized balls. 2. Rip cheese into roughly equal pieces, creating 16 equal portions. 3. Using your index finger, create a small indentation in each ball. 4. Fill indention with cheese and pinch meat around to seal.Then gently form balls into 3/4-inch-thick patties. Season patties. Directions • 2 lbs ground chuck beef, 20% lean • 8 slices melting cheese (like American, Swiss, Muenster, or cheddar)

Here are some additional reasons Emmett and The Gem State are great. WE’VE GOT SUNSHINE On average, we have 210 sunny days per year. Compare that to 144 rainy days in Portland and we can feel pretty happy about all our free vitamin D.

July 22 is National Hammock Day! Sit back, relax, and soak up that summer feeling. The hammock is thought to have been invented by the Mayans, who used the bark of the hamack tree to weave their hanging structures. From there, the trend spread throughout Central and South America, and, as we enjoy it today, hammocking eventually became a popular pastime worldwide. When setting up your hammock, find two sturdy trees that can bear its weight and be kind to the bark, or you can use a stand in your backyard for an even easier setup. With a book in hand and a cold drink, you’ll be celebrating this holiday exactly as it’s intended.
