A bit of an update
We are back from Horror Realm 2009 and I’ve had some significant changes in my life.  Because of these, I will be putting Boiling and Beyond on hiatus for at least two weeks.  To find out what happened at the convention please check out my blog HERE later tonight! These changes are quite amazing and hopefully everyone is excited for me.  I am not taking Boiling and Beyond down.  I just need some time to set some things up at home and get into a habit.

Once again…
I must beg your forgiveness.  During the day I am a software developer and by night, when I’m not playing daddy, I’m an author.  I write predominantly horror.  Everything from the Apocalypse to Zombies.  This weekend is a huge chance for me to meet some very important people in the horror publishing industry.  Permuted Press, Library of the Living Dead and others are going to be present at a convention this weekend in Pittsburgh called Horror Realm.  I’ve been waiting almost 8 months for this convention and it is finally here.

There really are so many wonderful varieties and flavors in this simple fruit. When I

Normally…
I would be posting this weeks recipe and instructions here shortly but I’ve decided I’m not going to post again until Tuesday. Tomorrow is the 8th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.  To this day I remember seeing the second plane hit the WTC and the aftermath that followed. Because of this special day I ask everyone that reads this to take a moment and remember where you were that morning 8 years ago.  Remember your family. Remember those families that were ripped apart that day. Remember those that still need our help eight years later. Remember all those that have fallen to defend our liberties and freedom. It do

3-T Tuesday – Chili Seasonings
Welcome everyone to our weekly edition of 3-T Tuesday!  This week’s edition ties into our ongoing Chili Chronicles because we are going to discuss chili seasonings. As I’ve made it abundantly clear that I love chili in the fall I though it would be a good time to talk about how to season the pot of chili that we started last week.  In that recipe I discussed using a chili mix in my fixings but one thing to remember is that the seasonings can define your chili and to me that’s the most important part.  I’m always looking to have my OWN chili recipe that I can pass down to my daughter. Today we are going to discuss making our own chili powde
