Like I said before I was on this list years ago and when I went on my vacation out west to California I ran into Hurley (the bad Monk) and we went out to eat in San Francisco. He is studying to be a doctor now. Man I sure did get spoiled out there. I went to every Mexican market I could when I was there and I brought home about 6 lbs of dried chiles while I was there. I also made it to Hatch New Mexico but I missed the festival by about 2 weeks. But all in all it was a great trip. I am glad to be back on the list and I am already saving recipes. PS is Dance with Carp still around? I see Rael is still here and quite a few other names I still remember. PPS I have my Old English Sheepdogs trained to eat habs now. They like to eat my leftovers and one time I made some haluski that was to hot for me to eat but they wolfed it down. I was so proud!!! __________________________________________ I hope that life is not a big joke because I don't get it. __________________________________________
