Posts from my old site, Treasure Valley Treats and Tragedies (treatsandtragedies.com), presented here with little to no polishing. Read at your own risk (of being annoyed).
This will be the last Treasure Valley Treats and Tragedies post. I’m not quitting blogging, but honestly it’s time for a change. The main reason is that I’m just plain sick and tired of this site. The name is the worst part, believe it or not. I thought the hyperbole was cute when Ms. Golden […]
So my New Year’s resolution was to post more stuff more often, and while I’m sure it will be every bit as successful as all the previous times I’ve made that promise, I figure I should at least make an effort. The good folks at Blue Ice Vodka apparently wanted me to post, because they […]
I first heard of Eureka! last year, when it was announced that they’d be opening a location in downtown Boise. Downtown probably needs another burger joint like, well, like I need to eat more burgers. Still, they do have a burger featuring bone marrow, and a selection of small batch whiskeys.

As usual, I’m several months behind in my reviews. I’ve been easily distracted by family, friends, road trips, movies, books, TV, video games, shiny objects, you name it.

So, a couple of months ago I took a trip to Salt Lake City to attend a concert. My road trip buddy this time out was one of my oldest friends, and someone I haven’t traveled with in a couple of decades. She wanted to attend the concert as well, and she was in desperate […]

Are any of you fans of Anthony Bourdain? I am. I may have even mentioned it before. I guess it doesn’t matter, pretty much everyone has watched some travel TV, yeah? You notice that often when the host gets to where he’s going, there’s someone there to drag him around. Sometimes a friend, sometimes a […]
We’re going out of order here. In my last post, I described on of the great meals of my life. However, that wasn’t the first thing that happened when I arrived in town. I had a few hours to kill, which I planned to spend up in the mountains taking pictures of the forest area […]
I’m not a professional. I’ve said it time and again. Usually it’s to remind the people reading my ramblings. I do it a a defensive measure. You don’t like my use of profanity? The fact that I spend so much time writing about places that are out of town? That so much of my writing […]
