What are you going to be for Halloween? I’m going to be a STOP sign. So when I hear anyone mouth-breathing or talking without ceasing, I can just turn to them and point at my head. I’m all about functional costume selection.
What’s up this week? Tons of late Fall stuff. Of course, the biggie on Friday, but then you’ve got a holiday bazaar, Dia de los Muertos in Downtown Nampa, Maleficent at the Library, and a good old conspiracy theory community discussion.

With winter coming in, you’ll want to curl up with a good book, and I’ve got just the one. Appetite for Idaho’s filled with easily replicated adventures, with recipes from Randy & Alana, Pat Mac, and others tucked between chapters. You can get books at these fun Idaho locations.
See you next week! Have FUN.
