Hi all, I've got a friend going to the States on Thursday next week and I want to send some of my sauces with him to be tasted and (hopefully) enjoyed by as many of my fellow Chile-Heads as possible. (He's going to Miami to work in some sort of Carnival/Circus outfit.) Being in South Africa I haven't been paying much attention to dates for, for instance, the "Field of Screams" and other get-togethers. What I'm planning to do is have my friend take the boxed sauces and than send them once he's in the USA. Any suggestions as to the best place and way to send once there? I seem to remember something about Jim not being able to attend this years event... Any suggestions as to who should be on the receiving end. I would have asked Jim myself but I saw today he's gone onto snail mail for a while. I'm planning on sending a sampler of my products, namely: Shaka's Revenge, Hot African Red Mule, Hot Cry Babies Chilli Liqueur Habanero Chilli Relish Since having subscribed to the list in 1999 as a Chile-Head novice, I've learnt that "Hunan Hand" has a name (not to mention Chilly Willy, or is that a local thing?); the serious nature of "Cat-Taping"; That I can stand-up and be "out and proud" that I'm a Moderate; that "Twister" has subtle depths never dreamt of by it's creator; that "Jacaima/Vivaldia" repeats itself; and that, indeed, chiles must soften the brain and make people, for the most part, relaxed, friendly and inclined to help others. You, my fellow Chile-Heads, have been instrumental in getting me up and running, supplying me with advice, seeds, recipe ideas and inspiration and I'd like to do something in return. (Besides just saying a whole-hearted "Thank-you".) Thanks, and kind regards, Steve Duddy Old Smokey's / Nature's Best Wilderness (044) 877-0372 oldsmokeys@icon.co.za
