I couldn’t get past the “Updating Beta Info” button, because apparently I am the .01% that doesn’t use a controller for this game – and finding a button layout for my keyboard online was NOT helpful. I ended up…

Fire Mage, adorable female dwarf, and I’ve got an appetite like no other and can probably eat more hot dogs than you in a hot dog eating competition. We can test that theory out later – but first, let me tell you why I’m here! I’m so…

When Kam and I got married, we received a ton of cookbooks as gifts*, all of which we still have. In fact, it started off my love of regional cookbooks, as my Apa and Daddy Don gave us a Taste of Carlsbad cookbook and two of Kam’s Aunties (Pretty sure it was Aunt Laura and…
Serves at least eight! Phoenix is a strange place for certain, especially when it comes to weather. For at least ⅓ of the year, it is unbearably hot, like why the hell do we live here hot. For another ⅓ of the year, we are reminded of why we live here, when the temperature…
