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.
1. Freeze flank steak for 30 minutes. Cut crosswise, against the grain, into thin slices. 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut milk, lime juice, curry paste, and fish sauce. Add steak and toss to coat. Cover and chill for 8 hours. 3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut milk, curry paste, brown sugar, and fish sauce. Bring to a gentle boil for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add peanut butter and stir until well blended. Remove from heat and add lime juice. 4. Thread the marinated meat onto 12 long skewers. Grill until beef is medium rare, 1–2 minutes per side. 5. Transfer satay to a platter and serve with peanut sauce.

‘Star Wars’ Trivia DID YOU KNOW? Tooth Facts Fun
TEETH AREN’T BONES! Due to their specific structure and composition, teeth, unlike bones, cannot repair or rebuild themselves after damage. Unlike bones, which contain cells responsible for forming new bone tissue, teeth are comprised mostly of dentin, enamel, and cementum. Enamel is the hardest tissue in the human body, created by cells called ameloblasts. However, once our teeth are fully formed, the ameloblasts are no longer present, and any damaged enamel cannot regenerate. Dentin, the layer beneath enamel, does have some capacity for repair through a limited response by cells called odontoblasts, but this is not enough to restore a tooth to its original state. The absence of a significant blood supply to the enamel makes it even more difficult for our teeth to repair themselves. So, once decay, physical trauma, or wear damages teeth, you’ll need fillings, crowns, or implants!
