Alex, Haven't had an experience like that since the '60s. I hope this all turns out well for you. jt ----- Original Message ----- From: Alex Silbajoris To: chile heads Sent: Monday, March 24, 2008 9:21 AM Subject: [CH] Black and white and red all over Pods, This morning I was cleaning stuff out of the refrigerator, and I pulled out a bowl with about 3 cups of chicken broth. On a shelf I also had a jar with a remaining little handful of dried blackeyed peas. So, Nature took her cruel but beautiful course. But I thought, it needed something more. So I seeded a dried California pepper and snipped it into squares about the same size as the peas. That turned the broth dark red and gave it a nice aroma. But, I ran out of time before I had to go to work, so I put the almost-finished peas in the Big Refrigerator (aka the garage) until I can get back to them later. Dang job. - A _________________________________________________________________ Test your Star IQ http://club.live.com/red_carpet_reveal.aspx?icid=redcarpet_HMTAGMAR -- No virus found in this incoming message.
