Who is the New Mr. Rogers?

Joy Larson — Sun, 12 May 2013 18:39:11 +0000

Most of us 30 somethings grew up with the soothing, mild-mannered, sweater-loving man named Mr. Rogers. Every kid dreamed of being his neighbor. He loved helping children learn while having fun in a calm and relaxed environment. Many of us have missed this happy memory from our childhood. The good news is that we may [...]

Does New York Love Missoula?

Joy Larson — Fri, 10 May 2013 03:48:55 +0000

To say that New York and Missoula are worlds apart is an understatement. There are few things that we have in common. However, that is what makes us both special. I have been to New York before. As a Montana girl, I was completely out of my element and overwhelmed. There was so much to [...]

Joy Larson — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 14:13:38 +0000

This past weekend, Missoula was host to the Orvis Guide Rendezvous Show. This show included both Montana-based companies and companies based outside of Montana, all of which cater to fly fishing in some aspect or another. Pretty much any and every kind of company that can be associated with fly fishing was there, from raft frame makers to cooler manufacturers and drift boat manufacturers to anchor companies.

Al's Book Blog — We're a Few Days Into "The Red Horseman"

Alan K — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:58:10 +0000

True to form it doesn’t take the author long to get the intrigue going with a member of the Mosad passing a message to Grafton that she must meet with him. The first of several people have died under suspicious circumstances. Why? Because they knew too much about an arms deal or that’s the theory [...]

Best Animal Video Ever

Joy Larson — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 13:08:41 +0000

Have you ever noticed how different animals eat? It’s interesting if you think about it. For example, a cow simply plants its face in its food and chews away. How about an alligator? What do you think it’s like when an alligator opens its big jaws and just chomps away? That must make quite a mess. How about a lizard? It slithers along and then suddenly attacks its prey.

Montana Hot Springs

Joy Larson — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 04:11:57 +0000

Being a parent with a pile of kids, I long for weekends alone with my husband. Sometimes I think back to the days before kids and the free time we had to spend together. We had more time and money back then for each other and for romance. Now, whenever we can sneak away without [...]

9 Mile House is Back – Bringing With it the Best Cheeseburger and Fries

Joy Larson — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 22:42:56 +0000

I have a confession to make. For the past month or so I have been indulging in the best cheeseburger and fries I’ve ever had. I am feeling a little bit guilty about not sharing, so I will let you in on my little secret. The best cheeseburger and fries I have ever eaten are from the newly reopened 9 Mile House, which is now known as the 9 Mile Roadhouse. You can still find this out of the way eatery at 28030 Old US Highway 10 West in Huson.

Crockpot Potato Pig Soup Recipe

Joy Larson — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 17:48:55 +0000

This soup is called potato pig, because I use either ham or bacon when I make this soup. All the boys in my family love both, but I definitely prefer ham. There is nothing quite like hot potato soup on a cold Montana day. It’s creamy and hearty. This is a super simple recipe. If you wanted to make it even simpler, you could always prep the potatoes and onions the night before then all you have to do is throw everything in the crockpot in the morning before work. This would save you at least 20 minutes in the morning. I don’t have a lot of spare time in the mornings, so this makes it way more convenient.

My Five Favorite Christmas Treats

Joy Larson — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 19:11:47 +0000

This past weekend I spent hours slaving away in the kitchen making countless batches of Christmas treats. I am trying to stockpile these treats for when my family herd shows up for Christmas. Some of these treats are my favorite because my mom made them when I was little, and others I have come to love as an adult

Dierks Bentley, 'Country and Cold Cans' – Album Review

Billy Dukes — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 15:00:20 +0000

EPs are often like movie sequels in that they often feel like a ploy to make a few dollars instead of a chance for an artist to expand upon a theme. Much like ‘Empire Strikes Back,’ and more recently, ‘Toy Story 2′, Dierks Bentley‘s ‘Country and Cold Cans’ proves to be an exception.

5 Best Things About Fall

Joy Larson — Sun, 19 Aug 2012 16:45:25 +0000

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting very tired of the 90 degree weather we’ve been enduring for the past couple months. Now we’ve added smoke to the heat, making it feel like we’re sweltering in a stew of our own juices every time we step outside. I long for the day when this wi

Best Summer Treats

Joy Larson — Mon, 06 Aug 2012 12:05:22 +0000

When the weather gets above the 90 degree mark, there are just some things that my body craves. You may think that I’m talking about a nice cold glass of ice water or a cold beer, but you would be wrong. I know this might be a sin to say, but I’m not a big [...]

Toby Keith, 'I Like Girls That Drink Beer' – Song Review

Billy Dukes — Wed, 25 Jul 2012 17:15:56 +0000

Toby Keith has found a fast racecar, and he’s not getting out of it until it falls apart. ‘I Like Girls That Drink Beer’ is his 12th booze-fueled single in 20 years, including three recent ones in a row. The man sings what he knows, and it works… mostly.
