LIFESTYLE LETTER
Attitude of Gratitude
November 2022 PUBLISHER
Brent R Fjeldheim | brent.fjeldheim@citylifestyle.com EDITOR IAL COOR DINATOR
Mala Shea | mala.shea@citylifestyle.com
November signifies a time to be thankful for all of the positive things in our lives. That can be different for everyone, as we each have things to be thankful for that are specific to our individual situations. There are also many things we can be thankful for together. In Bozeman, there are many. Our beautiful mountains encircling the Gallatin Valley, our mature trees that run nearly every street, and the plentiful water that provides recreation and fisheries are a few of them. We have ski resorts available in all directions. The dining opportunities in the valley are seemingly endless. Nonprofits are available to nearly every cause and have huge community support. Every service that a person may need is available for all of us. Montana is full of great people. From the small towns to the bigger ones, like Bozeman. I still feel guilty if I get the “two finger wave” on the highway and don’t give it back until they have passed. If you find yourself stranded on the road with a breakdown, there will certainly be someone stopping to see if they can help. Walking into an establishment, the people who meet at the front are all racing to grab the door for someone else. We have many things to be thankful for and, if we remember the spiritual value of exercising gratitude, our quality of life is much better. Thankfulness is not just for a certain time of year; but taking one month to focus on it helps us to remember how important it is.

ARTICLE BY KATIE THOMAS PHOTOGRAPHY BY 406 PHOTO
In March of 2012, some folks at Bozeman’s Human Resource Development Council (HRDC) cooked up a plan. They saw a missing link in Bozeman’s increasingly prosperous community. For such a thriving place, why didn’t we have more flexible dining options? There’s a lot of ground to cover between fine dining and the local chain. They saw a need and filled that gap. Enter Fork and Spoon, Montana’s first pay-what-you-can restaurant. Serving homegrown, scratch cooking at prices that the customer chooses, this restaurant provides everyone with delicious, healthy meals whether they can pay or not. Fork and Spoon is located on North 7th Avenue and open for dinner Sunday-Thursday, 5-7 p.m. Employees and volunteers use local foods and ingredients wherever possible, which influences the menu’s weekly updates.

The concept behind Fork and Spoon, formerly known as the Community Café, is to make food as a whole more accessible to everyone. One in 7 people in the valley is experiencing food insecurity, and several HRDC programs work to help combat hunger. “After the recession, food was flying off our shelves at the Food Bank,” said Jill Holder, HRDC’s Food and Nutrition Director. “We decided to do meals instead of a box of food; it seemed more practical.” By partnering with many local organizations, accumulating volunteers, and securing the old Frontier Pies restaurant building, HRDC has given our community a restaurant that anyone can patronize. “Bozeman is expensive,” said Andy Galloway, Fork and Spoon’s program manager. “And food is a right to everyone. I like the way we treat people here not like they’re getting a handout, but like they’re coming into a restaurant.” In addition to offering catering, rental space, Friday sack lunches, and take-and-bake dinners like lasagna, soups, and quiches, Fork and Spoon is also proud to offer The Mighty Spork Food truck (exact same concept: pay what you can, only at a mobile space). The Spork offers tasty meals like flatbread wraps and grain bowls, and can be found for lunch at such places as River Rock Pond, and for dinner at the Bozeman, Big Sky, and Belgrade Farmer’s Markets.

LOCA LLY SOU R CE D | L IF E + CULTURE
Penny Johnson, HRDC’s communications manager, emphasizes the social enterprise piece of Fork and Spoon, as well as the Spork. “By renting out our kitchen space, and taking the Spork to events, we’re able to generate dollars for what we need,” she said. Added Holder, “This model brings in about $2 per meal, and it obviously costs more than that to create one meal.” Furthermore, according to Holder, Fork and Spoon is “the ultimate expression that we are a community that cares…the volunteers that show up every evening to serve, and the nutritious food, are symbolic: ‘you mean something.’” Paying it forward is another one of the most appealing things about Fork and Spoon. Need some good karma? Feel free to pick up someone else’s tab, make a donation through the Fork and Spoon website, and/or overtip. Consider helping in some way with this year’s Thanksgiving Dinner hosted there, or volunteering even once or twice. For those fortunate enough to afford it, these are some excellent ways to give back. CONTINUED >

Ser v ing Bozema n a nd the Ga l lat i n Va l ley Mountain State Gutters
Mountain State Gutters started in Grandma and Grandpa’s kitchen. Jacob Hawkins and his father, Brent, were talking about installing gutters, and Grandpa Larry offered his support. Utilizing three generations of knowledge and experience, they created a local Bozeman and Gallatin Valley business designed to service their customers to the highest level. Jake Durfee and Tyler Devries joined them and completed a team that can offer the best gutter support in the valley. The four-man crew has the equipment to provide mobile installation and replacement. Because all four members are equal owners, they are equally invested and committed to providing the best quality of both service and finished product. Gutters are a necessary part of every home. They redirect water away from the foundation, decks, porches, and landscaping. Water can be an essential asset if appropriately directed, but also a possible detriment if left uncontrolled. Mountain State Gutters can help you protect your assets and mitigate some of the long-term maintenance. They can help to control the accumulation of mold, mildew, and other water damage. Directing the water away from the structure of the home is not the only purpose of gutters. They can also, if properly installed, create a nice, decorative element to the home. There are many colors, styles, and materials that can be utilized for the gutters and downspouts. Whether it is for new construction, existing gutter system replacements or repairs, or adding additional protection to installed systems, Mountain State Gutters is able to take care of your needs.

If you are looking for a local photographer with a full-service studio, look no further than 406 Photo located in the Emerson Center right here in Bozeman. Originally from North Dakota, Bruce Muhlbradt has called Bozeman home since 1995. “My parents were avid skiers and I spent so much time at Bridger Bowl that Bozeman felt more like home than home did,” he said. Bruce spent most of his life taking various photographs of landscapes and wildlife, but it was during a brief stint in Santa Fe Community College where he finally honed his craft. “The classes were great,” Bruce said. “The professors taught all these tricks that come in handy when you are working with people.” And it’s those nuggets of wisdom that have helped 406 Photo offer a unique experience when it comes to weddings. “I know people like all the digital stuff, and they get that from me,” Bruce said. “But I like going the extra mile. I make an appointment with them after the wedding so we can create some real works of art for their walls.” Bruce also includes an individualized wedding album for each client and prides himself on knowing little tricks to help make his subject look their very best. “I have a knack of putting them at ease, helping them to relax in front of the camera and really capturing their personality,” he said. “After all, nobody wants to have a photoshoot like Monica and Chandler on Friends!” And when it comes to location, Bruce has shot weddings at every venue from hockey arenas to cow pastures to high-end establishments. “406 Photo can provide all you are looking for and then some!” CONTINUED >

CAMINO SPICE’S PUMPKIN PECAN PIE WITH LAST BEST CHOCOLATE

H OM E TOWN H E R O | FOOD + BE VE RAGE
CAMINO SPICE: FLAVORS AND PHILANTHROPY SASHA WOODS A walk on the Camino de Santiago–the historic pilgrimage trails in France and Spain– can lead travelers to new insights about themselves; sometimes philosophical, sometimes spiritual, and sometimes, quite simple but profoundly life-changing. “My journey taught me to listen to the little voice within me,” said Sasha Woods. “Trust it and be vulnerable; be open to where it leads.” In this case, it led her to open Camino Spice, a company that has offered her wonderful new opportunities to share her love of food and flavors with others, and give back to her community. Her first spice blend was the result of honoring that inner voice. While feeling ill and severely congested one night, she started sautéing garlic and reaching for spices, when something within said, “Write this down.” She blindly grabbed spices, measured, and documented, and Divine Inspired Spice was born—a unique mixture of cayenne, cinnamon, cumin, curry, ginger, turmeric, clove, and nutmeg—all anti-inflammatory spices. She loaded it on the garlic and added vegetables and lemon. After eating the concoction for a couple days, her sinuses opened and she recovered. That little mixture turned out to be the perfect complement to many other dishes, not to mention the flagship product for her
new company. She has gone on to develop several other spice blends, her Mexican Hot Chocolate Mix, which won a Bronze Sofi award from the Specialty Food Association, and spicy “Last Best Chocolate” bars. This year, Camino Spice was voted Best Specialty Spice and Seasoning Store in Montana. In 2017, a search for commercial kitchen space led her to Livingston, where she first used the Livingston Food Resource Center kitchen, and eventually found a storefront for Camino Spice in 2019. Giving back has been part of her company’s mission since its inception, and 10% of her chocolate sales has always gone to charity. Some organizations that have benefited include Give a Hoot Community Foundation, Montana Freshwaters Partners, Livingston Food Resource Center, Western Sustainability Exchange, and Stafford Animal Shelter. In the aftermath of the Livingston area floods this summer, Sasha expanded her community efforts. During the flood and for several months after, she gave 10% of all her product sales to local flood relief. As a small business owner, Sasha works nonstop, taking every opportunity to grow a loyal following for her products. Summers are spent on the farmer’s market circuit, and winters at holiday markets and trade shows. CONTINUED >

Recently, she began teaching “Smoke and Spice” classes at Chico Hot Springs, in which participants learn to make drinks such as a Smoked Old Fashioned, where the glass is smoked and the drink is infused with spices. (Want to try it at home? She now offers a “Smokin’ Old-Fashioned kit.”) Along with the Livingston store (113 W. Park Avenue, Suite 5) and the online shop (caminospice.com), Camino Spice products have expanded to grocery and gourmet markets around the state (6 of which are in Bozeman). At the end of the day, Sasha is most gratified when her spices, food products, recipes, and classes make people feel a little happier. “When I used to do photography, my goal was to create pictures that evoked goodwill and hope,” she explained. “I hope Camino Spice can do that, too.” It’s all about the journey—why not add flavor to yours?

Being Thankful and Self Care ‘Tis the season to be thankful. Or so we’re told from the time the trees start changing colors and dropping leaves through the new year. We are living in unprecedented times and sometimes it’s hard to remember to be “thankful” and “grateful.” We live in a society of abundance. We go through seasons of “purging our houses” because we have too much. That is something we forget to be thankful for. We forget to be thankful for the most simple things. A roof over our heads, working heating systems, refrigerators full of food. And for a lot of people, we forget to be thankful for good health. Good health looks different for many people. It varies as much as we vary as people. But our mental health can really take a toll, even when we are “healthy.” Our selfcare gets pushed to the back burner because life moves so fast. It’s easy to tell yourself you’ll make appointments later, “when things slow down.” Here’s the thing. Life isn’t slowing down. There’s always something big around the corner. But we
HAVE to take care of ourselves or the burn-out will catch up to us. The millennial generation has it right, the way they focus on self-care, taking care of themselves first (or even second, third, or fourth). And if you think back to your last salon service, didn’t you walk out of the salon feeling amazing? Whether it’s for a simple blowout or a full spa day of services, you walk out of a salon feeling refreshed, recharged, and ready to take on the world. Taking a simple hour for a multitude of options in a salon means an hour of someone else taking care of you. An hour to put your phone on silent and actually be “off,” mentally and physically. Most salons have a relaxing atmosphere for a reason, they want you to relax. Leave your cares and stressors at the door, come in and take a load off. But, no one is going to make those appointments for you. You have to make the time to take care of yourself. So in a season of being thankful, be thankful and grateful to take care of yourself as well!
