The local Heb will have its annual Hatch chile fiesta tomorrow. They will char the chiles and sell them or you can buy and char your own. I like going because it always gets me in the mood to think about Ben’s. Why in the world didnt I court one of ole Ben Mata’s daughters, get the recipe, and then sell out like that dog on the Bush’s Baked beans commercial. I could have been eating those chiles my whole life instead of drooling over the thought of how I remember them tasting. Oh well, another one of life’s little misfortunes.
I will use a new recipe tomorrow and let you know if it is worth trying. I am a bit concerned that I dont remember the sauce that went on top of the ones that Ben made. Any suggestions would help.
This is a first attempt at this blog business. Give me a few days and I am sure that I can figure out how to save the world, make you laugh until you tinkle, or perhaps just get you to thinking about something.
I think there is an area on the blog page where you can answer or reply. If there is something you would like to start a discussion on, hey, give me a hint. ie: Should the commander in chief bring every single soldier home before Christmas?
Thanks, Hon, for getting this started! Know as time goes by and you have more time on your hands (not that you will ever RETIRE..Lord help!), you will enjoy having a place to jot down your musings to share with all of us who have grown to love and understand your wit and wisdom! You might even get that new camera figured out and share some photography with us also…who knows!
Thanks so much for doing this, Gary. You are are always such a delight to read and I have shared some of your emails with my friends because they are just so funny. Please keep up the good work. We all need a good laugh!
how did the new one work out-ready to fix a meal for a few classmates
