Fancy That!

Okay, summer has come and gone and we are knee-deep in fall leaves and pumpkin season. However, that doesn't mean the memory of summer-time isn't still in our minds! A few weeks ago, around the tail end of a slightly warm day, I had the chance to try out my new favorite summer drink - Plain Spoke Cocktails.  If you love mixed drinks, but don't like the whole mixing part of things, you'll want to try this.

I have come across only a few Bible video games, but none so cool and innovative as the Solemn XII video game. It's a virtual reality 3D action-adventure Bible game that allows learning and development through role-playing objectives. It's an open-world environment, where you experience educational game challenges, assemble virtual objects (like Noah's Ark!), accomplish mission objectives, and experience biblical narratives first-hand. By the way, this game is meant for an adult audience, 18+ due to the mature appeal. This game's play regions are dedicated to prominent historical people from the Bible such as King David, Moses, and others. You overcome a variety of challenges to advance in the game.

What makes Sonoma Farms special is that their ingredients are sourced from local farmers in California and Italy. They also offer incredibly flavorful products that I am certain you will want to purchase yourself. To start out - the pasta sauce! I was so excited to try a wide variety. Here's a few I tried: Garlic Lovers Pasta Sauce Gorgonzola Pasta Sauce Home Style Marinara Pasta Sauce Asiago Pasta Sauce Vodka Pasta Sauce Gravy Marinara Oh. My. Goodness.
