   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.

     *(about 2 cups)   
        
     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
