Pako’s Eye-P-A – Snake River Brewing – #ThristyThursday

The Snake River is a long river that flows through several western brewing states.  Therefore, one of Jackson Hole’s finest, Snake River Brewing, is named for this body of water.

One of their beers, Pako’s EYE-P-A (IPA, for those that don’t get it), is a deliciously hoppy beer that comes in with a respectable 60 IBUs.  For people who love a hoppy beer with some bite, this is a beer that you will love.  It recently made it’s way back on to the taps at my favorite watering hole and I decided to finally give it a try.  I was quite happy with my choice.  This is a straight up hoppy beer.  It isn’t one with hints of spice or fruit, it is hops and good hops at that.  And weighing in at 6.8% ABV it packs a punch.  We recommend you check out this delicious beer from our favorite beer region (the Northwest).

TNBS Classics: Creamed Chicken and Biscuits – Tuesday Foodsday

We cannot deny that comfort food has a place in our hearts.  There is something about creamy, unhealthy foods that make us feel sooo good.  This week we take a look at a simple recipe that can be very versatile: Creamed Chicken and Biscuits.

6 TBSP butter (not margarine or butter substitute, butter)
6 TBSP flour
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk/cream (not skim)
1-2 cups cooked chicken

Melt the butter, blend in the flour, salt and pepper (this is called Roux).  Cook over low heat until bubbling.  Remove from heat and stir in the broth and milk.  Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.  Gently stir in chicken.  The chicken can be diced or pulled, your preference.

You can find the biscuit recipe on most biscuit mix boxes or many flour bags.  Serve the creamed chicken over the biscuits.  This  is versatile because you can add vegetables such as corn, peas, carrots, broccoli, etc. to the mix (make sure they are cooked beforehand).  This creamed chicken recipe is also good as the filling to a pot pie.

Disappearing Night – aka belle – #MusicMonday

Boise has a growing music scene.  Most people know Built to Spill and latest up-comer Youth Lagoon.  But there are plenty of other great bands in town and many of them will be featured at SXSW.  Today we are letting you know about a great album from one of these Boise bands: aka belle.

Disappearing Night is a great album for those that dig an indie folk-rock type feel.  With excellent female vocals and lyrical stylings, I’ve been listening the heck out of this album since buying it at the tail end of last year.  The band has a good time with their music and doesn’t take themselves too seriously.  we submit “(i’m) give mice elf to you” as evidence.

Go buy this album and enjoy it.
