Saturday was a real treat for me. We were able to hitch a ride to a little hole-in-the-wall joint that sells western herbs, like oregano, cinnamon, paprika and parsley. Then I was able to locate some garlic powder and chili powder (not like the Mexican stuff, but the HOT Sichuan stuff.)

By the time Sunday rolled around it was up and running while '60 style jazzy style instrumental music serenaded the crowd. The weather was very mild for early December which made it especially pleasant.
