| My favorite colors of New Mexico — green chile and turquoise blue. |
We moved one state south and two states west, and now have access to fresh chiles from Hatch, New Mexico.
It doesn’t fit the 100 Mile Diet, but that’s OK.
New Mexico is among our favorite vacation spots. The landscape, the art and culture. The turquoise jewelry. Green chile, red chile, blue corn.
There, I could eat huevos rancheros three times a day—when I’m not having blue corn enchiladas. And while I like Tex-Mex and Sonoran styles of cooking an awful lot, it’s the flavors of New Mexico that really appeal to me. It’s because of those chiles.
