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 For the Marinade • 1 tbsp olive oil • 2 tbsp soy sauce • 2 tbsp chili garlic sauce • 2 tbsp rice vinegar • 3 tbsp honey • Juice of 1 lime
• 3/4 tsp smoked paprika • 1/2 tsp salt For the Skewers • 2 lbs chicken breast, cut into bite-size cubes • 1 small pineapple, cut into 1-inch cubes
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?”
1. In a bowl, whisk together marinade ingredients. 2. In a reusable freezer bag, combine cubed chicken and all but 1/4 cup of the marinade. 3. Seal bag and massage marinade into the chicken. Chill in the fridge overnight.
4. The following day, preheat the grill to 400 F. Thread chicken and pineapple onto skewers, adding two cubes of chicken for each cube of pineapple. 5. Grill the skewers for 3–4 minutes per side, brushing with the reserved marinade in the final minutes. 6. Serve over rice or with your favorite barbecue sides!

Fun Fact About Bats Facts Bats can be found pretty much everywhere all over the world, and there are over 1,400 species of them! Bats can flap their wings and fly through the air, typically at dusk or during the night as they are nocturnal mammals. A bat's forelimbs, which resemble a modified human hand, are stretched out into wings, which are covered with a very thin layer of skin-like membrane called patagium, which makes flight possible for them.
Soda is delicious and refreshing, but it can wreak havoc on your teeth if you’re not careful! In fact, the consequences of frequently drinking soda can be tough to swallow! The University of Michigan compiled data and found that adults who consume three or more sodas in a day have up to 65% more decayed teeth than those who drink less. When the sugars within soda come into contact with the bacteria that lives inside your mouth, an acid is formed. This acid then attacks your teeth. So, if you were to sip on soda nonstop all day long, your teeth would be constantly under attack! Soda Is the Silent Tooth Attacker
