Re: [MBZ] Merry Christmas, Friends.
Happy holidays to all my virtual friends out there, and to Floyd: you earned yourself another rescue vehicle. Go get it! My son in LA sent me a kimchi kit for Xmas to augment my diet of fermented foods (he wants me to live to100). I bought him a cast iron bread and loaf pan. To pamper myself, I purchased some crunchy chili pepper condiment. www.crnchi.com The website claims their product will transform even brussels sprouts into a palatable dish.
