   That was a long time before any of us knew him. He was also big into   
   Commodore computers, especially the Amigas. Steve started with a   
   Commodore 64; when he switched to a PC, he gave Dave a lot of no longer   
   used by us equipment. Met him at a Cracker Barrel, our first experience   
   with one of them. (G)   
      
   RH> Looks good but what, exactly, (know it's an Asian seasoning but is

    BC> Chaat Masala literally translates to Snack Spice.  For best results,

   OK, thanks. We have a new Indian restaurant in Wake Forest, went to it a   
   few weeks ago. I asked for a heat level 5 (They said they'd do 1-10) for   
   butter chicken but will probably drop back to a 4 next time we go. It   
   was good, just a bit hotter than I like.
