What a treat to come across this website. I found someone who sells Turkducken locally thanks to you.
Then I saw your link for Piri Piri sauce, and I had to say, I love that sauce.
Thanks for a great webpage, and what a treat to see an old-fashioned guest book. *smiles*
Merry Christmas!

Met the team at the Millarville Farmer's Market. Bought Piri Piri - haven't tried it yet. Bought Wild Garlic Hot Sauce - A third of a bottle (two people in one sitting) and it is an absolute STAPLE! Must have it. . . Can't live without it! This stuff makes wine with a good meal slip to third or fourth place! Congrats on a great product - any deals for bulk orders? Oh by the way, three meals and the bottle is vacuumed dry! Incredible flavour and year round warming ability! I cannot explain how impressed I am! Can you tell by the exclamation marks?

Good advice Daniel! Back when The Prez had time to pack in on horseback with good friends into the Alberta Rockies (we'd go for a week at a time), we'd have to pre-plan so that the quality of food didn't suffer. We would be 80 miles from the closest town and 15 miles from the closest dirt road....literally up in the mountains, so a custom First Aid kit was always carried...well actually we carried a second First Aid kit. The second custom kit had a wide-ranging collection of spices, juices and what ever else we could think of that were in small space-efficient containers. You just never know when you would be inspired to create some new meal treat...just like at home. When we did our 'day rides' from the base camp, everyone had saddlebags to carry what we needed. If the day stayed sunny, we'd take a break by a mountain stream and enjoy some threats from the Longview Jerky Shop, great cheeses and more, along with a few 'tall boys' chilled in a mountain stream. If a little rain came, we'd take a break, throw up a tarp, light up a small fire, whip out the packing stove and brew up some Apple Cinnamon tea laced with Amaretto, along with chocolates & sweet snacks to brighten up the day, as we handed out dry wool socks for the ride back. We always carried some special horse treats, which we shared during the break. Glass is not cool up in the hills, so we'd shop ahead for "a bag of your best" (wine). Of course red is always preferred (hard to find a nice Chardonnay in a bag) and we'd always save the red for last. Another tradition was to have a cheese fondue (roughing it) three days into the ride....sourdough bread keeps well. One trip out, we had enjoyed all the white wine already, so we added red to the cheese. It tasted great BUT red wine with cheese came up a bizarre looking pink! Also we discovered (the hard way), that you should always line the cooking pot with tin foil before cooking over a bed of coals. We'd freeze our meats, cheese, etc. and when we set up in base camp, build a 'fridge' in the cold running mountain streams and weigh these down in water-proof bags to keep them fresh. With a little thought, you can avoid being stuck with 'dried meals ~ just add water'. First Aid (basic emergency needs) come in many forms.
Great Site! There was some interesting Informations on this Page! Really nice! Thank you! Clearwater

Pepper Heads,
Thanks so much for your support of the Gifts with a Difference's Christmas Packages that benefited Calgary's innercity homeless through the work of the Mustard Seed. Your company's commitment and on-going support of the local community is phenomenal. Of course, your products are delicious too!

I really enjoy your site. I have it booked marked and check back to view your "Share Your Thoughts" every so often to support my fellow Canadians.
I have a question; Where can I purchase sauce bottles in Canada so that I would be able to bottle my own homemade sauce? The problem I'm having is that I don't want to purchase a whole skid of bottles but many companies won't sell retail to me. Can anyone please suggest a company in Canada that can offer this service?

Most bottle companies don't sell to individuals.
Again here, we've added a tips in Much Ado About Nothing section: Grolsch Beer bottles are handy and they reseal! If you are ordering a large quantity, talk to your local hardware store about a volume discount...pre-paid special orders are usually good for a break.

We really do appreciate the fans of Big Rock Beer. They have good taste. That's why we have done a number of cross-promotions with them. Taste is the most important thing to each of us....all else is cheap hype. Don't buy the package...judge by taste. It also allows us to keep sharing Pepperheads where we have yet to do independent distribution.
Enjoyed the history on the rub page. Here's a bit of a Chinese poem I found dating back to 221 B.C. - "Oh son come back! - Why should you go
so far away? - All kinds of food are ready. - Ribs of the fatted ox cooked tender and succulent; - Sour and bitter blended in the soup of Wu; - Stewed turtle and roasted kid, served up with yam sauce, - Geese cooked in sour sauce, casseroled duck, fried flesh of the great crane; - Braised chicken, seethed tortoise highly seasoned, but not to spoil the taste; - Fried honey cakes of rice flour and sugar-malt sweetmeats; - Jadelike wine, honey flavored, fills the winged cups; - Here and laid out the patterned ladles - And here is the sparkling wine..." Good food seems to have a long history.

Thanks for the sharing your thoughts on our rub. We've now been able to ship it to the U.S.. The kilo pails are a cost efficient way to keep some on hand. The feedback we're getting is that rolling your meat or vegetables in virgin olive oil, then adding rub (more rub = more spark) before cooking is a hit. We're more concerned with how it works well, than how many we sell. It has to be useful.
Just thought I'd let you Pepperheads know that there is a new Peruvian restaurant in London Ont. called Rocoto. They've got a variety of dishes using rocoto, aji amarillo, aji colorado etc. and the food is amazing. It's located at the corner of Notre Dame and Viscount in a small strip mall.

Needless to say, the Pepper Heads gift package was one of the auction's most hotly contested item.

We're always surprised and flattered when we find out that people actually know about Pepperheads and drive up the price for a good cause. It's great, because after all, the point is to raise money for a legitmate cause. It's the passion that you give to the cause you believe in that counts. We know that nothing happens without individual efforts. "Think Globally ~ Act Locally" is not just a cute phrase, we know that's what makes the world go round. The flattery should go your way.
I must say you have done a fine job with your site have you tried using one of these 5 in a sauce

We were recently on vacation in Canmore, Alberta and in Marra's Grocery we found fresh from the deli chicken wings made with Pepperheads Piri Piri Sauce. THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! WITHOUT A DOUBT THEY WERE THE BEST CHICKEN WINGS WE HAVE EVER HAD. We're thinking that we have to move to Canmore now. We'd like to thank Pepperheads and Marra's for introducing us to this fabulous taste sensation, but first we want to know how we go about getting reimbursed for our moving expenses (just kidding!!!).

- Sunday, May 23, 2004 1:22:15 PM
Long live the memories of Marra's. A classy retailer that closed their doors in August 2005. A prime example of how important it is how you spend your (shopping) dollars. They served Canmore for just shy of 60 years. The Town of Canmore should take a bow for the special tributes in the local community newspapers, the section in The Canmore Museum. the loyal customers bringing their Marra's bags to the dedicating of the changing of the street to "Marra's Way" in Canmore. A class act Canmore....take a bow.
Where can I purchase red savina habanero peppers in Canada? I was recently scammed at 'redsavina.com'(payed but never received the product). Plus I choose to keep my money in Canada if possible. Any suggestions?

The great folks below are too shy. Habitat For Humanity operates quietly in many of your own neighbourhoods. Totally volunteer based. They make a difference at your local level. Please check them and their efforts out. Your efforts can make a difference.

They are a prime example of what makes our world move forward in the right direction.

Just before Chrismas Pepperheads donated a large box of their famous products to be distributed among our volunteers. This was a great succes! Thank you Pepperheads! I actually BBQd some ribs in minus 15 and snow, used the "Dark Secret" BBQ Sauce. I'm sure the family liked my ribs better than the Chrismas turkey.

When we first held Gourmet Golf, we were 'local' (Southern Alberta). We're now "local" in many provinces
I have never been prouder than to have been a citizen of High River than I was on Monday September 1, 2003. THe Labour Day BBQ was an event with a purpose and the purpose was to support the devastated beef industry. The goal was to show the world we Canadians believe in the safety of our Canadian Beef Industry. What a day to remember, High River and area residents showed up on masses to support the event and to show its support for the Beef Industry. The Kinsmen Club of High River was honoured to be the host and organizers of the Labour Day BBQ, but it was you the sponsors and volunteers who made our vision a reality. I was overwhelmed with the support we recieved from 63 corporations, local businesses, other services clubs, youth organizations and private citizens. I thought you might be interested to know that 2550 servings of Beeg on a Bun, beans, chips and refeshments were served over a four hour period. There were 750 pounds of beef, 700 cans of beans, 1980 bags of chips, 2600 cans of soft drinks and approximately 3000 bottles of water given away to the public at no charge. We took up a silver collection and were able to raise $2262.50. The food that was not used that day was taken to the local food bank. The net proceeds of $2700.00 was donated to the local food bank for the purpose of buying Alberta beef for our community's less fortunate this winter. On behalf of the Canadian Beef Industry, The Kinsmen Club of High River and our many volunteers, I would like to thank Pepperheads Canada for your overwhelming support and generosity.

Hi garlic lovers!
I actually come from the home of wild garlic in England! - A village called 'Ramsbottom' in the wilds of Lancashire (about 12 miles north of Manchester!)
The name 'Ramsbottom' comes from 'Ramsonbottom' - ie the bottom of the valley where the Ramson grows..... Ramson is a broad-leaved
species of garlic (Allium ursinum), common in European gardens, also called buckram (I'm told!!!)
So there you have it! a bit of history for you! enjoy!

Pepperheads seems like a fine place to share this piece of history I found & I too have fallen in love with miss wild garlic....Long before records were kept, man was using wild herbs for food and medicine. Over many years he learned that some plants were safe to eat, while others caused poisoning and death. Discovering which plants were useful must have been a matter of trial and error, sometimes no doubt with disasterous results. From remote times myths and legends grew up about the powers of herbs. Fantastic visions seen by people who had eaten a few leaves or berries from an hallucinogenic plant would deepen belief in their magical properties....magical properties seems to be what has me so in love with miss wild garlic. We just can't get enough of her. Thank you for sharing.

Charlie! Where have you been hiding?
Love the Dark Secret BBQ Sauce. Bought up at Whistler to compliment a BBQ rib dinner. Everyone was licking their fingers. Need to replenish it soon! Anxious to try your Piri-Piri sauce. Brought several bottles back from South Africa. Good eating!

Saw your BBQ contest. I was reading this fun book (The Fearless Diner) and you Pepperheads would like this story..... "IN NO OTHER CUISINE have I encountered a flavor battery to match the complexitity and variety of India. At its most basic it is known as 'masala', a word that means roughly, "mix", a combination of sweet and piquant spices. What we call curry is an English invention from the days of the Raj and is virtually non-existent in India proper. Whenever I have asked for it in India I've been met with blank stares or giggles. A typical masala might include clove, cinnamon, cardamon (the sweet) and coriander, cumin, black pepper (the piquant). Foods may be cooked with this mixture alone, but onions and turmeric are often added. Additions and variations on this theme are limited only by the taxonomy of the spice world. I learned of this in a sudden cultural immersion, on my way to Jaisalmer, east of Pakistan, while retracing the spice routes that had brought the luxury of pepper and cloves to ancient Rome. It was our second day out on the Great Indian Deseert and we were driving our camels hard, determined to reach the village of Samrau before dark. As we approached the village we came upon a goatherder who who tended a flock of about twenty. His name was Naglaman. He was amazed to see three camel-mounted foreigners, and with grand gestures invited us to tea. As we dismounted he disappeared into a little shelter he had made of twigs and desert scrub, and he reemerged with his "tea service", one battered old pot, two metal cups of different origins, and a couple of desert palm leaves. The leaves he tore into pieces, then folded expertly into conical cups, disposable and biodegradable. Over tea mixed with wild honey (a friend of Miss Wild Garlic's?) and goat's milk I asked Payag Signh, our interpreter, what we could expect for dinner in Samrau that night. I knew it wouldn't be camel, and I was hugely disappointed. When I had tried to purchase a camel calf the previous day and feast the whole village, I thought there would be rejoicing. But the people were scandalized. Since the Hindu desert folk have no cows to worship, they substitute camels as their sacred animal. It's okay to ride them, but not to eat them. Was my face red! And what would I tell Sven Krause? "Chapatis for dinner tonight," Prayag said. Chapatis are unleavened flatbread made from wheat or, among the desert people, milet. "Of course," I said, uninspired. "Anything else?" "Oh yes. Vegetables." "Just like the last one. Are the desert people vegetarians?" "No, no. But they eat meat only on special occasions, because it is very dear." "How dear? For instance, how much would one of those goats here cost? Unless they're sacred, or something." I settled with Naglaman the goatherder on 400 rupees(US$12.50 at the time) for his fattest kid, weighing about forty pounds. He was very pleased with the bargain until I said, "But I gotta have a receipt. It's a business expense." His smile faded when Prayag translated. "It's not that I don't trust you," I said. "It's just that I have to keep careful records or my publishers will complain." "But Sahib, I don't know how to write," he said, and looked at the ground. "Oh, I see." I took out my pen and notebook and said, "I'll write it for you and all you'll have to do is sign it." I wrote it out and handed it to him saying "There, just sign your name. Can you do that for me?" He looked even lower, and lowly said, "I don't know how to write my name, Sahib." I felt like I had just stripped the man naked and whipped him through the streets. Prayag was speaking to him softly in Marwati, his native tongue, when an idea came to me. "Naglaman," I said, "My great grandfather couldn't write either. But he would sign sign documents with his thumb. How about I ink your thumb with this pen and you sign the receipt that way?" The idea that he, an illiterate, nomadic goatherder could actually sign an official document attesting to the transfer of foodstuff suddenly raised his spirits, pumped up his chest and put the smile back on his face. Raising my pen I said, "Let's have your thumb." He stuck it eagerly in my face. I inked it up good, making sure to cover it all, while he looked on with something approaching wonder. I then held the notebook for him and he painstakingly rolled his thumb onto the paper. Prayag wrote across the thumbprint, first in Marwati and then in English, "Naglaman: his mark." The goatherder was now an honorary member of the order of letters. I tethered the goat to my camel and we mounted and rode on into the village. Our arrival caused quite a stir, though a happy one. We were conducted to a shade tree to sit and relax while the village headman was summoned. A group of locals sat around and we chatted with them through the voice of Prayag. One of them pointed to me and said something that caused them all to giggle. Prayag reported that the villager had pointed out that among the desert people the color of my turban was the traditional color for widow's weeds. The villager jokingly asked if I were a widow. I said, "No, but just like a widow, I have no husband." If any ice needed breaking, that did the trick. Soon the headman arrived and we were formaly welcomed, told where we might sleep if we cared to stay, and invited to share their dinner. All the while the people had been hungrily eyeing my, goat, which my companions, Bruce and Paul, had nicknamed "Jimmy." "Why Jimmy?" I asked. "We call any animal we kill and eat Jimmy. We do a lot of hunting." "I wish he coulod have been Jimmy the Camel. Prayag, say that everyone is invited to the feast of Jimmy. As long as they agree to teach me how to cook him in their traditional way." When the goat had been slaughtered, and a man we had dubbed "Yellow Hat", for the color of his turban, had finsihed the butchering, he summoned me to follow him into an enclosure. From a wooden chest he took out his ingredients and through Prayag he spoke. "I'm cooking this in goat in the way of all the desert people. We use the spices that the caravans have always carried, and the red chile powder. We grow the chile in Rajasthan and we use it in all Rajasthan. The caravans have never carried it because other people find it too full of fire." Another man brought out flint and steel and tinder, and while all the men watched in reverent silence, he kindled the fire. Yellow Hat poured what looked like a pint of red chile powder into a big brass bowl. I tasted it, and it was indeed full of fire. It wasn't habanero, but it was still powerful stuff. On top of that he poured half as much turmeric powder. Atop that half as much garam masala, then half as much salt. Over the mound he sprinkled a layer of sweet paprika. Then he mixed them all with his gnarly fingers. Into a pot over the fire he poured oil and when it was hot threw in a handful of fennel seeds and cooked them until they all popped. Then he stirred in his spice mixture with some water. When the mix had simmered awhile, he added several pounds of cubed meat. But Jimmy's heart and testicles he laid on the bare coals of the cooking fire and toasted them to a burnt-rare condition. He and I shared them as an hors d'oeuvre. Cook's prerogative." ~ Richard Sterling (1998).

I saw you were into peotry and would like to share this;
THE HERB GATHERER
When fragrant fires of autumn smoulder
By upland pastures for the wind to blow
And grain shocks stand, row after row
He throws a sack across his shoulder
And trudges away in the mellow glow
To gather herbs - though he is older
Than most of the old men that I know
He squints in the sun, and always follows
The spring brook where the calamus hides
And he nibbles it, and away he strides
For thyme and tansy in sunny hollows,
Then on to burdock. His faith abides
In it for bitters, in careful swallows,
When winter has chilled his old insides.
Sage and boneset - his eyes keep sighting
Out of profusionthe things he would find.
Pennyroyal, horsemint - these he will bind
In neat little bundles, always righting
Some slight disorder...at least in his mind.
He will hang them on rafters, ready for fighting
The ills of age...with the years so kind!
His old cheeks flush with the autumn weather.
His old eyes shine when the quail wings sound.
A sack that smellsof the air and the ground
With tang and mellowness there together
Over his shoulder! And all around
The breath of autumn!...I wonder whether
Gathering helps more than herbs he found.
~ Glenn Ward Dresbach (1914-1948)

Many thanks to D'Arcy and Pepperheads Canada from the Kinsmen Club of High River, for their kind & generous support of our 2nd Annual Dinner/Dance & Silent Auction held on March 22nd at the High River Memorial Centre to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis and STARS. Your donation of a gift basket full of Pepperheads gourmet sauces, salsa, and promo wear, was very appreciated. It was a fine addition to our silent auction line-up. The entire evening was a fabulous success, and tremendously enjoyed by all in attendance. We look forward to next year's fundraiser, and thank contributors such as Pepperheads for supporting our cause, and being a part of the fun. Cheers!

What a wonderfull product! My wife and I went out to Black Diamond to spend a weekend with some old friends out there, Mike & Tilly Jackson. We get together every few years and just sit around and visit and eat. I made up a couple of recipes that I had sitting around for "snackies" and Michel let me try out your Wild Garlic sauce with my home made Bruschetta Sauce. What a beautiful thing the sauce turned out to be! My compliments on a job well done! I'm going to submit the Bruschetta sauce Recipe into your site as well as a Roasted Red Pepper Dip sauce also.
Again, Thanks for the great Taste experience and I will be passing it on. Good Luck in the future.

Just reading some of the work of psychiatrists/ethologists (a branch of anthropology that deals with the genetic aspects of behaviour)Michael Liebowitz and Hector Sabelli. They postulate that the infatuation-emotion humans experience which drives us into pair bonds (i.e. marriage) is associated with natural amphetamines that pool in the emotional centres of the brain. Later in life, if the pair bond survives, attachment mellows into a desire for morphine-like substances, the endorphins. In other words, "playboy syndrome" is the result of craving an amphetamine high, and "attachment junkies" are trapped in unsatisfactory relationships by a morphine-like addiction to endorphins. Having given it a chemical interpretation, Liebowitz and Sabelli believe a chemical cure is reasonable.
My question is this: Is the rush from Wild Garlic an amphetamine high? or a morphine trip? Are we looking at medicinal uses on the horizon? Could we prevent divorce and rescue women and children from abusive relationships?
Surely there is grant money out there for this. I'm calling my MLA first thing monday morning.

your jerky....met you at the faarmers market then the home show in Calgary D'Arcy. Your products have the exact "after burn" and deep garlic and pepper sting I love! zyou gave me a few samples of your jerky that's comin soon, and asked that I give you the low down.
It has a wicked flavour all onto it's own, BUT......the texture is Ugggghhhh!. If it was thicker, meatier....it would rule. As it is now, it's thin and over processed, no texture, but the flavour is just great. NO TEXTURE.
Hope to bump into you again soon, and your jerky is perfected.

Hi again everyone! Scramled eggs are not the only thing that Miss Wild Garlic Sauce is good for. I've got a new Family Fave recipe that's even better than the scrambled eggs with hot sauce. I have a farm in Okotoks. What it is, really, is a field of dreams for low income children. It's the farm that is growinf the organic vegetables for the KidsArts Family Fun Festival that you great guys at Pepperheads have been helping us with. Anyhow everything is really coming on quickly in our field of dreams. I was out at the farm this morning and I brought a load of greens that were ready to bolt home. I just didn;t know what to do with them. So, guess what -- I wahsed them and sauteed them with onion and garlic and then I slathered them with Miss Wild Garlic Sauce. WOW!! Wow. Wow. You should write my exotic recipes up and hand them out to people and then you could help me build on my reputation as gourmet who gets very hungry at night. Keep well Pepperheads. Susan

I had some Dark Secrets barbecue sauce given to me for my birthday last week and I've been experimenting with it. I know that most people on this site are proably gourmet cooks and I have never gon public with my cooking before but I want to suggest a simple way to use this sauce. I live in an apartment and don't have a barbecue so I always have to improvise. This is what I did and it works very good. I squashed the ribs in a deep bowl and rubbed them all over with with dark secrets asd much as I could all the while being careful not to get sauce under my nail extentions. I covered the bowl with a plate and zapped them in the microwave for 4 minutes. Then I turned them over with a fork, recovered them with a plate and zapped them for another 3 minutes. They great! Soft and tender. Nice and smokey because i think that the liquid is smoke is the big secret in dark secrets. So, all I have to say is that Dark Secrets are really, really good with or with out a barbecue. All you need is ribs. Ever since I did that, every time I think of Dark Secrets, I ask myself, "Are you hungry again tonight?" And then I just get some more ribs and zap them. Thanks a lot fo the sauce guys. Alter in Calgary.

Hey whom ever is behind Pepperheads, you've done a wonderful job. Really great site. However, I do want to bring your attention to the joys of eating fresh garlic. Please accept this as my submission to your recipe contest.
Garlic, like any Allium, say leeks onions etc., can be grown in the garden for its green spears rather than its bulb. Sure, the bulb is a necessary staple in winter, especially in Northern climates. But, very few things in this life compare the joy of thinly slices green garlic and fresh dill on a summer garden lettuce salad. Green garlic is less pungent, less overbearing than what most people think of when they think of garlic.
Before I sign off, tell me does Miss Wild Garlic have a history? I mean, where on earth did she come from? Do you people have wild garlic growing up their in Alberta or is she an import? I mean. tell us more.

My neighbour had some hot stuff at the Ranchman's in Calgary last week. Were you there? Was that your Pepperheads chili that she had? She's a tall blonde with sea green eyes. You couldn't miss her. You'd remember if you saw her there. She's a one time Miss Wildrose province. In any case my neighbour went to the Ranchman's, ate some hot stuff and guess what she told me? Good God, it as hot. Look i told her, "Like all the deeper things in life, each of us has to face the heat alone. If there was no such thing a pepperheads hot sauce, someone would have to invent it to save us from despairing."
Now, may I ask, "Do I get a some salsa for this entry?"

I had some of your Miss Wild Garlic sauce on my scrambled eggs very late last night. Why? Hell, it's only by risking one's person from one hour to another that one lives at all eh? My husband who was having his cup of cammomile tea watched as I gave the eggs one hot shot after another. He seemed a little anxious. As he watched me take the first bite, he whispered, "Oh Dear, I see that you're hungry tonight."

OK...it does not blow my head off, but I have to admit that
your Miss Wild Garlic is very interesting. A variety of taste
sensations. You pepperheads are legit. I admit that I judged you
too quickly. Nice variety of tastes. Send more, look for my
reorder in your email. You passed the taste test here down South.
You are real and I am surprised. Kick it with a real hot one and I
will start waving a Canadian flag. I'm impressed but still need
more heat. Can I get some wild garlic?

one stop shopping.

We were visiting Banff, Alberta two weeks ago for a skiing
vacation. After a fine day outdoors admiring the beauty of your
Rocky Mountains, we slipped out to a quaint little pub to wind up
our day. That's where we met the crazy, fun Pepperheads. Perfect
Canadians who shared a great evening & great wings. They even
gave us a bottle of their BBQ sauce to take home with us. Last
weekend, back at home in Australia, we tried it on some ribs as
you suggested. Bloody great mates! We'll be ordering some online
once you are up & running. Thanks for your hospitality and
friendship. Give a peck on the cheek to Miss Wild Garlic for us.

Every one we've tried so far can best be described as "kick
ass"!!! You guys have really got something special happening with
these sauces. They all have lots of heat and personality. And they
can be used on whatever your imagination comes up with. Way
cool!!(know what I mean???)

We're samplin' sauces & fixin' snowshoes right now with
the Pepperheads...looking forward to whipping their 'hot' asses at
Snowshoe next weekend. Sauces are great! Nice to see something
like this coming out of Southwestern Alberta. Continue
creating......we need it.

Greetings from the land of the midnight sun. My younger
sister met you guys & tasted one of your hot sauces. She said
it was good! It's nice to see some heat coming from Canada
(besides that Olympic 3rd period action). Are you going to be
selling your sauces online? (Whitehorse)
Francis Vincent - Friday, March 15, 2002 11:45:27 PM
Pepperheads. I love it! Thanks for the session. I do have
acomplaint though, you can't buy any until April 1st. You do have
a great web site and I am working on some HOT poetry. I just wish
I had more sauce. Come on boys...play fair, don't tease a girl
like that. (Calgary, Alberta)

I just wanted to send a big hug to 'my boys'. I just love it
when boys work hard in the kitchen. You sure know how to throw a
party and as always, when ever I am around you Pepperheads, you
always bring out the best in me. Sending all my love. Keep it up!
