I haven't had time to read the 'list for the past couple of weeks so may have missed mention of this so please forgive me if it is "old news" My March Saveur mag. arrived Wed. and the first chance I had to look at it came this morning. I was delighted to se, on Page 20, in Saveur Fare, the notice March 10 -12 Central Coast Chilli Festival - Erina, Australia. "The Fragrant Garden in Erina, in New South Wales, is the hot and happening place to be if you're a lover ov chiles—or, as the spell it Down Under, chillis—during a weekend that locals describe as "colorful, mad and heaps of fun" . Garden owners and chile lovers Jan and Michael Bailes, who grow—and sell—some one hundred varieties of chile peppers, had the inspiration for the event over a bottle of wine several years ago........ Any hoo, it goes on to describe some of the goodies. ?A chile massage??? Wonderful, Michael and Jan. Hey are chiles mainstream now, or what!!!
