    I. NEWS:
    
    Thank you for subscribing to this newsletter. There are now over 850 subscribers!
    If there is something you would like to see run in future newsletters please let me know.  
    
    My apoligies for not getting this Newsletter out in a more timely fashion.  I had planned on 
    a bi-monthly letter but my time has grown quite short and the site has grown beyond all imagination.
    Just keeping up with all the email is close to a full time job (keep em coming folks). 
    I have been working on a HTML version of this newsletter for some time but it seems that
    the demand is not enough to justify the time envolved. A few individuals expressed interest
    but just not enough. Sorry bout that folks.
    
    --------------
    
    I have come up with my own chile powder and will send out samples to those who send a 
    Self Addressed Stamped Envelope to the address below. 
    I hope to have it available for sale in the coming months (if the reaction is good).
