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!
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?”
Out-of-town relatives who are visiting for the holidays might wonder what makes Emmett so special. But we already know the Treasure Valley is full of gems — and we don’t just mean the rocks. 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. Directions • • 1 cup flour, for dredging Salt and pepper, to taste • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/4-inch thick • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 oz prosciutto, thinly sliced • 8 oz mushrooms
• 1/2 cup Marsala wine • 1/2 cup chicken stock • 2 tbsp butter
1. In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and pepper until evenly distributed. 2. Add chicken to flour mixture and coat all sides. Shake off any excess. 3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add chicken to the skillet. Work in batches if pieces don’t all fit in the pan. Cook each side for 5 minutes until golden brown. 4. Remove chicken to a platter. 5. Lower heat to medium. Add prosciutto to pan and sauté for 1 minute. Add mushrooms and sauté until browned, about 5 minutes. 6. Add Marsala to skillet. Let it come to a boil, then add the chicken stock and simmer for 1 minute. 7. Stir in the butter and add chicken back into the skillet. Let simmer gently for an additional minute, then serve.

Koala Bears Have Fingerprints! Facts Did you know that koala bears have fingerprints too? In fact, if you place human fingerprints next to koala fingerprints, it’s tough to tell the difference! But, koala bears aren’t the only non-human beings that have them! Gorillas and chimps also have their own set of fingerprints, which makes sense since they are our close relatives! However, koala bears are marsupials and have very little in common with us.
Brushing your teeth is one of the most important parts of your day to remove a clear, sticky substance known as plaque that contains many different forms of bacteria. After we eat meals and snacks that contain sugar, the bacteria in the plaque produces an acid that literally attacks our tooth enamel. This acid can eventually lead to cavities and tooth decay, which is why it’s so important to brush thoroughly and consistently. According to the National Association of Dental Plans, the average American will spend roughly 38.5 days just brushing their teeth over the course of their lifetime. That’s over a month! 38.5 Days Brushing Our Teeth?
Koala fingerprints are extra special because they have evolved independently, meaning that the very early koalas didn’t have fingerprints — they developed more recently in
their evolutionary history. Kangaroos and wombats, close marsupial relatives of the koala bear, lack fingerprints. So, if you ever want to commit a crime, you could always try to frame a koala bear for it!
