Red or Green?? It is Chili Pepper time in New Mexico!!!
Red or green is the official question of the state of New Mexico - personally I think the green is ahead in the contest - at least for eating. This time of year is very exciting - and definitely fragrant!! When you drive through town - almost any town - the smells of chilies roasting will be wafting through the air! If you are so inclined - and I am - it sends you into a frenzy of desire to eat green chilies!! You buy huge boxes of them - which are reduced when roasted - and then you take them home and remove the skins and freeze them in smaller packages to be used through the year.
Green Chilies from Hatch New Mexico - ready for roasting - the cream of the crop!
A sign of the times!!
Chili roasting in Albuquerque - on 4th Street - old route 66. This happens all over - including such non picturesque
locations as Wal-Mart!!
