Hot Peppers. The typed copy of this letter will follow tomorrow. [Well it is following, just took a little longer] I worked on a couple of posts this afternoon and two pages of a letter to you but my mind gave up any hope of being functional so I will do all the proofing and printing tomorrow. I just wanted to let you know I got your letter today. I did get books last week but I guess the twentieth shipment is to come soon.

Mom and Dad visited this weekend, Saturday and Sunday. More details to follow.

Hey just a thought. Could you send some of the peppers from your garden? I use three jalapenos when cooking five cups of tomato sauce and black beans. Two of them are included while I cook the beans and one ends up chopped on top of the two bowls that the five cups make.

Bill got a package of the dried red chili peppers and I use five or so in the five cups of spaghetti sauce I make. This also serves two people.

Bill's tolerance for heat seems to be very high. I will have beads of sweat on my forehead and he wants to add more hot sauce! I suggest you put them in a plastic bag but so not seal it or twist it. Maybe poke some holes in it. The airtight bags tend to collect the moisture. Put some crumpled paper and they should be okay. Just a suggestion.

Lots more to follow. Sorry yet another delay but now with parental visit past, hopefully I can function at top speed for a bit. [Okay so maybe it is taking me a little longer to accelerate. Voom Voom...  ¶ 10:57 PM
