Randall Gregory asked me to pass this on, as he is unable for
some reason to post to the list:
Hi Steve,
I've tasted a lot of Pisco Sours (national drink of Peru) and my Peruvian
wife makes the best I've ever tasted. We experimented with many different
recipes. Parts can be ounces, quarts gallons Here's her recipe.
1 part, freshly squeeze lemon (different from lemons in the USA) but can be
approximated with 1/2 lemon and 1/2 lime.
2 parts cane syrup
3 parts Pisco
1 egg white. Additional egg-white if making over a quart of Pisco sour.
Ice will adjust the strength of the drink, we recommend adding a few cubes,
blend in a mixer, then tasting and adding more ice if necessary.
Blend until creamy white
Pour into a cocktail glass and add a few drops of Angostura bitters or
Cinnamon powder.
Delicious. muy delicioso

P.S:
actually I'm not Peruvian but that's OK :)

Michael,
I've extracted a few e-mails from my sent folder that never made it to the
posts, even though they show sucessful delivery. Maybe a bug in the
meteorite-central software. E-mail server. I don't know.

I'm sure some of you remember when Viking captured an image of what was
believed to be an apparent face carved in a natural formation and the
resulting speculation as to whether it might be artifical.

We now have our own face, clearly visable from space. Our image has been
named Rostro de Dios or face of God.

Dear List,
After all this bickering, I thought you might get a kick out of some really
creative videographers. It's pretty funny.

*SUBJECT: PERU METEORITE*
I am offering absolutely free to you and select members of this forum a
small sample from meteorites found in the south of Peru. I will pay all
shipping costs. I am currently in Peru and expect to send these out when I
return to the United States because international shipping rates here are
very high. Additionally, the shipping agent requires analysis along with a
letter stating composition and a declaration that they are not a hazardous
substance.
I was in the process of having a sample analyzed by ACTlabs here in Lima
until I found out that they actually send the samples to ACTlabs in Canada.
The samples will be completely analyzed using Instrumental Neutron
Activation Analysis, XRF, and high resolution inductively coupled plasma
mass spectrometry in Canada. I will post the result. Noble gas analysis and
dating are currently beyond my budget.
The reason why I am making this offer is that I need to get some of this
material into the hands of serious collectors in exchange for comments,
links, references or general help in having these meteorites analyzed and
classified. I have taken pictures of these samples and some have been seen
by a few meteorite dealers. Their comments have been that these rocks do
not
look like meteorites. Even when I described the composition as basaltic,
one
dealer said it looked like sandstone!?
These meteorites were found in a zone of a known meteorite fall. With the
cooperation and assistance of the Geophysical Institute of Peru and the
National University San Agustin I discovered the main impact structure a
short time ago after an 8 day expedition into a very remote part of Peru. I
have videos of this and other expeditions along with video recorded
eye-witness testimony that assisted in helping to located the main fall.
I have a theory but I would prefer not to speculate where these meteorites
came from. What I can say is that they exhibit extreme hardness that is
equivalent or exceeding quartz, have a very thin fusion crust, and most are
pitted with micro-craters. I have done some crude experiments on my own to
see if I could duplicate the fusion crust on a piece that I fragmented.
Using a oxy-acetylene torch and a blacksmith's furnace I subjected various
fragments to wide temperature ranges and durations without success. I used
a
diamond coated saw and found quartz was easier to cut.
Comments appreciated.
