Dang it’s been hot. Like hot hot. Like what the heck is going on, how is it only June hot. Here in Idaho, we’re no strangers to warm summers, but 2025 is off to a blazing start — and according to forecasts it might just be the hottest one yet. Last weekend’s heat reminded me of the summer of 2023, when I was driving back to California and got stranded in Oregon — in a snowstorm.

This requires following a strict gluten-free diet that avoids all goods containing gluten — a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and their derivatives. Cooking at home may be one thing, but eating out is a whole other battle which makes being gluten-free in Boise not always easy.

Ever walked down Bannock Street thinking, “I could really use a burrito right now?"Now you can — fast, fresh and made-to-order through a walk-up window right on the sidewalk. Oddbox Breakfast Project is a grab-and-go breakfast concept operating through a window at The Funky Taco in downtown Boise. The idea started with one unused window on Bannock Street. “We just wanted to find a way to activate this window in a fun way,” co-owner Kasey Allen said.

From Red Rocks Amphitheatre to Radio City Music Hall to Boise’s Outlaw Field — Khruangbin is ready to bring the vibes. The globally inspired trio will take the stage at Idaho Botanical Garden’s Outlaw Field at 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 29.

Their story started over a decade ago in Houston, Texas, where casual jam sessions turned into something worth pursuing.
