Tres Bonnes review and recent work
and some fiery christmas trees
I signed up for a new mountain biking fitness class that I suspect will be populated by women who can kick my ass, and it is on the same block as the Union Hall, so please Lord send me the strength to actually show up to this class instead of just ducking into the bar for a happy meal instead.
Anyway, since I’m staying downtown at the office until I need to go to this class, please enjoy some pieces you may have missed in The Pulp! And a bonus fun link at the end. Congrats to all of us making it through the first week of this year that I’m very concerned will herald a new dictatorship presidency.
Oh and before we begin, the hottest new place in town is the Tres Bonne brunch place in the old El Cazador spot, and here’s my ultra-quick review: The decor is really fun and the menu isn’t boring, but I am burned out on these fancy new places with airport-level pricing. A couple cocktails and an appetizer or two can set you back $50 anymore. In 2024 I’m committing to renewing my appreciation of the dive bars of this community that have never done my wallet wrong. I need the dives and mid-range nachos ’n microbrew places to survive.
Now then, on to the butter candles of yesteryear:
My attempt to recreate the butter candle I saw in a video on the internet. Did it teach me a lesson about content creation and the attention economy? Did a nice man send me a picture of his beef candle? Oh yeah. Come on baby, light my butter
Where to buy hot sauce in Missoula (sandwiched among other holiday stuff but I like to think that my hot sauce intel will be helpful any time of year). Featuring the best places for shopping a variety of intriguing hot sauces in Missoula. I was so mad when I smuggled a Belizean hot sauce through customs and then it turned out the sauce was available at Wordens. The 11th Hour
Sometimes I help my boyfriend with a food bank delivery volunteer gig, and it’s always jarring to depart downtown Missoula, with the aforementioned fancy new restaurants serving $15 cocktails and $22 lobster corndogs, to go into Turah and Clinton and see how a whole lot of people are actually living in Montana. I’m not sure if I sound like a condescending jerk, but I got some good feedback on it so why not click! Doorsteps of Anywhere, Montana
Lastly, in non-local news, I’m very jealous of the production quality and pyrotechnics on this engineering firm’s Christmas video. Feeling inspired to take it up a notch for my office’s video next year.
That’s all for now… thanks for reading and see you next time I’m nervously putting something off.
