I got back in from Colorado and Texas on Saturday, bringing with me tons of gifts and of course, a pretty bad cold that I am still trying to kick. The cold could have a little to do with sitting through the second coldest game in Denver Broncos history on Dec. 21. It was well worth [...]

The Idaho men face ISU tonight Pocatello in its final nonconference game of the year. Idaho doesn’t play well on the road (they are 1-5 away from Moscow), and the Bengals have played a pretty tough nonconference schedule this year, so it’s hard to know what to expect. The Vandal women lost to Portland last night in [...]

My good friend Devin took a holiday break and I was fortunate enough to fill in for him. I’ve been keeping my eye on the Cougar hoop teams all year but this week was the first chance I had to meet both the men’s and women’s coaches and watch both teams. I loved what I saw from [...]

My bowl season got off to a great start last night as I watched the purple and black TCU Horned Frogs beat BSU by one. Now if Hawaii can pick up a win tonight my bowl season will be nearly perfect. The WAC basketball season is just about here and it’s looking like a pretty balanced conference. [...]

After coming home from Christmas shopping, caroling or whatever activity necessitates being out in the cold, there is nothing more soothing than a cup of hot cider. The drink also goes well with Christmas cookies and other sweets. I am sharing a hot cider recipe below I found in my loose-clip files that would be perfect [...]

This Saturday and Sunday the Idaho men close out the pre-Christmas season hosting Texas Southern and Washington State. It would be easy for the Vandals to look past Texas Southern, a team that’s 0-10 and lost to Gonzaga 81-42 on Thursday. But that would be silly. Texas Southern has played No. 5 Texas tough - twice [...]

Well they argued for weeks about the bailout packages and rightly thumped their chests indignantly when confronted by executive compensation packages that would make the average person blush. But Congress just couldn’t keep their own fingers out of the cookie jar. As this report in The Hill notes, “A crumbling economy, more than 2 million constituents [...]

In case you¹re still making candy for Christmas, am sharing a recipe I clipped out of a Lewiston Tribune holiday section a few years back. Although I¹m not much of a candy maker, this one turned out fine and I even felt confident enough to give a plate or two to friends. I dug this recipe [...]

So, it’s one week until Christmas, and I have to admit I’ve been slacking on the Christmas shopping. I’ve gotten my sister and a few friends taken care of, but I still have more to do. What’s more, I have to fit my purchases into an already-crammed suitcase (knowing my packing habits). It looks like I’ll be [...]

I know I should be featuring holiday recipes for the next week, but the frigid weather has obliterated thoughts of festive foods, instead thinking mostly of steaming bowls of soup as another way to keep warm. I had set aside the latest issue of Taste of Homes “Simple & Delicious” magazine as there were a [...]
