Modern Vespa

It's all about the red Chile here in Chimayo but I still prefer green

70 miles round trip. Next time I will take pictures of the scenery.

The food is a big part of the scenery there. 8)

Had a great meal there. Trying to remember something special about a lemonade or something there....too many years ago.

Yes, your assignment is to go back and take more pictures! 8) Please?

My family is from Santa Fe
Both sides (Montoya & Rael)
I lived there for a while and ate up at El Rancho Chimayo quite a few times.
My wife purchased the cookbook from there in the 90's

Oh, man, that chili looks good! My wife makes a killer green one, but gotta wait til winter for it to be on the menu...

Winter Tdrake? That is way too long to wait for good green chile!!

Next time I will stop along the way for scenic pictures. I love the badland sarea of New Mexico. Some think it is stark. I think it is lovely.

Fledermaus i believe it is prickly pear lemonade that you are remembring. Yes! Quite delicious!

Ok, you're right: that is too long; Joan says she starts making it as early as late August, but we don't really get peppers coming in until then.

Then she begins this massive, prairie-girl ritual of bringing home pallets of tomatoes and peppers to clean and freeze for the winter. ...have I told y'all yet that I have a personal gourmet chef?

Love, love, love Northern NM. We need to get down there again some time....

Haole: Do you still have family here? I know Montoya's from La Cienga. and a Ted Rael though I haven't seen him in awhile.

More pictures of the chili, please.
