Hi everyone,

I wrote some macros to help me insert a recipe in here easily using vim's
macros so this is a test message.  LOL

Here's a recipe for good luck for the new year from down South.  The belief
is if you eat black-eyes peas on New Year's Eve, you'll have good luck in the
coming year.

  Rinse the peas and drain. Put the bacon in a heavy kettle and cook
  stirring until rendered of fat and browned. Add the chopped sweet
  pepper, onion, and celery, and cook, stirring until wilted. Add peas,
  vinegar, stock, salt, pepper, and dried hot peppers. Bring to a boil.
  Cover closely and let simmer about 1 hour stirring occasionally from
