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

  pepper, onion, and celery, and cook, stirring until wilted. Add peas,
  vinegar, stock, salt, pepper, and dried hot peppers. Bring to a boil.
