OOOOOOOH, Dan & were just talking about this...If all goes well, we're
hoping to make it there.  It's like Mecca, right?? except we'll be going
West.
We haben't (intentional) had a chance to even plant our babies - too much
rain here in MA.  Should be able to get them out in the next day or two.
Made an excellent recipe out of Cooking Light ... it was a Chile Rellenos
Gratin - very yummy.  Did anyone else try it???  I'm convinced that everyone
at that magazine is a chilehead...  Haben't had a chance to download recipe
or transcribe to 'puter yet - but if anyone wants the recipe, pls email me
of list.  Helen
