Happy New Year to all.

A special greeting to the amazing, generous Chris Dieckmann, who
answered my plea for Szechuan peppercorns with the offer to send me
three packages. Chris not only charged a ludicrously small amount but
sent back the extra $2 I had enclosed to cover any extra shipping and
for "going to the store for me." Thanks again, Chris, my chicken with
cashews now tastes like it should.
