Idaho Meanderings

This blog contains history, photos, etc. related to Idaho from the late 1800's/early 1900's. My mother, Brenda Steunenberg Richards, was born in ID. Much of it pertains to the assassination of my great grandfather, Gov. Frank Steunenberg, the trial of Bill Haywood & grew out of the 100 year commemorations of those events. Along the way I toss in a bit of the Wild West, old guns, radios, military, etc. Your comments are welcomed. If using my images, please just ASK. Thank you.

Capitol Cellars dishes up pork belly and Idaho politics By James Patrick Kelly

Capitol Cellars 110 S. 5th, Boise Ave, Boise, ID 208-344-WINE

4/10/2015 Idaho Statesman: Capitol Cellars dishes up pork belly and Idaho politics

"Make sure to try the Steunenberg salmon ($15/lunch), an inspired entrée that gives props to Idaho’s only governor to ever be assassinated. A fillet of flame-kissed Vancouver Island salmon (crowned with fried leeks) gets leaned on a bed of silky mushroom risotto and wilted kale, while a pool of syrupy malbec gastrique surrounds it all." (It's $20 for dinner).

Hmmm...maybe the Borah Burger later. Of course the Steunenberger came first but isn't around anymore.

No Darrow offerings? How about a good Darrow Pot Roast?

Now I wonder if I get a family discount on the Steunenberg salmon?

Idaho Meanderings Update

Although still posting and checking this blog from time to time, I am not as active as I was in its earlier years. I have ventured out a bit into some Facebook History groups but will have to see how that goes. The jury is still out. However, please do not hesitate to comment, contact me directly or to pass along historical notes of interest. I started the blog over a decade ago and I do apologize for the many links that are no longer active and some formatting changes by Blogger that scrambled a few posts. I try to update pages when I am linking or utilizing them for other sites but correcting every link is a near impossible task. Enjoy the history.
