Hatch Green Chili. Sent by friend Bill back in the Other Place of New Mexico. A box of them arrived, surprise!, delivered by Fed X from a grower, working to grow his business back there....ships all over....FRESH CHILI......and it is. All green and vibrantly Fresh, delivered. in the blink of the eye. And it's what we need to think about giving up. Things like this. Indulgences of love. So i roast them in my cast iron pan, they are meaty...perfect for making rellenos, perfect....but i just ATE them, as is. Consumed them. Consumed New Mexico. Consumed memory. Consumed part of a lifeTime. i ate them. And i will tell him how much i loved it and i will tell him just only this once. No more.
