A Scholar's Journey: The Divine Tempest A Scholar’s Journey: The Divine Tempest is a no-holds-barred fantasy brawl. It begins when the God of Justice and Retribution opens The Abyss and unleashes a vengeful demon upon the mortal realm of Therra. Now it is up to scholar Penndarius Greyson and his tormented protector, martial artist Soren Luna Mortalitas, to stop a crisis that would send shockwaves through the very fabric of creation. In addition, Penndarius is waging an internal battle with a disembodied presence attempting to possess his mind. The two heroes must avoid death or capture, but there is a catch: They have only one day to solve a riddle older than history before a dark host of unstoppable demons is released into the world. The Divine Tempest includes warring factions, betrayal and redemption, and of course, Herrick Erickson-Brigl's trademark: epic fight scenes. This is the lean, hard-hitting first installment in a series that follows Penndarius’s growth as the...

Nothing like a glass of wine to wind down after an exhausting day.  Back in the day a nice bottle of wine was so expensive we only popped the vino on special occasions .  So it's nice to see an bottle of wine that tastes so good and affordable you can serve it at the everyday backyard barbecue , as well as, the fancy schmancy shin dig leaving everyone to gasp when you tell it's under 10 bu cks!   Yes, flipflop wines is that kinda' wine.  Let me preface this review by saying before the kids were born I belonged to a wine club and each month I received 3 bottles of wine.  I used it mainly for cooking and entertaining and developed a love of good wine.  So, I was skeptical when I heard of flipflop wines.  I mean, come on, it was like $7.  I so thought it would be bland, cheap, tasteless wine but I was wrong.  The flipflop Wines I sampled were fragrant, refreshing, full of aromas that stimulate your tastebuds, flipflop Wines did not dis...

Hampton Hotels are one of my faves when it comes to travel.  Whether it's business or personal, I know I will always find nice accommodations, comfy bed, professional staff and great breakfast.  In fact, the reason the Three Boys and an Old Lady family just had to have a rotating waffle iron stems from a stay in a Dallas Hampton Inn.  Oh, there's an added perk --> I can earn and use my Hilton HHonors rewards when I stay at a Hampton Hotel.  Boo-yah!!!   Hampton Hotels has launched a new campaign complete with a video that shares their latest Hamptonality Moment.

I should probably preface this post by the Three Boys and an Old Lady family is known for eating a lotta pasta.  Seriously, we have pasta at least twice a week, sometimes three.  My eldest nephew often teases me because it never fails that whenever he drops by our home, we just so happen to have pasta for dinner.  What can I say, I love pasta.   Pasta is versatile, c an be served hot or cold , filling, the entire family likes it and it's inexpensive. Over the years I've tried some healthy pasta varieties .  Some we've liked.  Others, not somuch.   We've tried wh eat, whole wheat, whole grain, high fiber , buckwheat, s p elt (yes, spelt pasta), and a few other varieties and there are noticeable taste differences in each.  I told you we eat a lotta pasta in the Three Boys and an Old Lady household.  I admit, I was a bit skeptical when I heard of Ronco Hidden Veggie Pasta but figured I'd give it a try and whipped up some chicken...

CONGRATS TO   I had planned on having a huge Oscar Watch Party at our home but Mother Nature felt otherwise so we ended up with about 4 of us divas gathered around the big screen hoping our fave feature film would win the big one.  Whenever there's a party for The Divas, the Diva host is in charge of refreshments.  This year we stepped it up a bit thanks to Daily's Cocktails and Wholly Guacamole.  For me to recommend Wholly Salsa products is saying a lot.  I grew up in Central Texas and salsa is the ketchup of the South.  Wholly Salsa is the next best thing to homemade, wayment, it's better than that.  I mean if you are solely making plain ol' salsa, it may be a close second BUT if you're looking for Red Pepper Mango Salsa or Pineapple Salsa then you'd be hard pressed to find a better salsa.  The ingredients are fresh and it's in the refrigerated produce section of the grocery store.  Salsa 'n chips?...
