Regarding the following posts, I think that they are precisely On Topic. This is the Chile-Heads List and the members that give their time freely to contribute and share their experiences and information (as opposed to merely "lurking") actually ARE the list. Anyway, Dewi is definitely an active list member and has a wonderful personal chile site http://www.chilechick.tmfweb.nl where she enthusiastically shares her passion for peppers. One of the pieces of info that she's shared is that: >Here in the Netherlands it is hard to find chile related items so anything is >welcome. Pictures from magazines, stickers or even labels from sauce or >something. Thanks for wanting to find me something. Appreciate it much! To the Point: It just so happens that Andrea and I find ourselves holding a pair of tickets to the Netherlands for the weekend of November 9-11, and are trying to arrange to meet with Miss Dewi on the 10th. We found a specific chile-related gift that we're looking forward to bringing with us. If anyone has any "Pepper Paraphernalia" they'd like to share with her (e.g., stickers, seeds, labels, your favorite recipe, pepper photos, old copies of Chile Pepper or Fiery-Foods mags, etc.) we'll be happy to hand-deliver it for you. Just drop us an email and we'll give you our address. (Pittsburgh is a tad closer than Europe for most of us!) We leave on Nov 9th. I figure that Miss Dewi will be able to take a photo of any chile items you may send sitting in their new home in the Netherlands, and post it on her web page!
