Thanks, Felice. I read this recipe and returned to the chat room
looking for a drinking buddy, but everyone had left. I was about to
leave when I_am_Tosk dropped by. He's not much of a drinker, but he
said he had a beer with me. A good time was had by all and everyone
had gone home by midnight PST.

I want to put my head together with sky to figure out how many total
participated. We saw quite a few people who have never or rarely been
in chat, so it was really nice.
