School Season and Green Chili
Joylyn
I just told Lexie that one of her friends that she usually sees on park
days was going back to school. She sobbed. She cried. She was very
upset. When will I see her again? This is horrid. After I calmed her
down and promised that we'd continue contact on weekends, she said "when
does this stupid school season start anyway?!"
We went up to Ventura today (2 1/2 hours away) to go to the University
of New Mexico Alumni Picnic. They had brought in green chili from New
Mexico. The price was even pretty good, and they roasted it for us. We
put it in bags but left the peel on. Tonight I spent 3 hours peeling 40
pounds of green chili. Oh my fingers burn so good. My new van now
smells like green chili. I purposely stood by the roaster so as to
smell it. Lots of other folks were doing that too. I sure miss the
smell of New Mexico in the fall. I'm sure that most of you who are not
from New Mexico have no idea what I'm taking about (the burn of my
fingers, the smell of the chili, the entire bottom half of the freezer
filled with little plastic freezer bags of peeled green chili (I typed
children there...is my slip showing?) but It was a good evening. Janene
and Lexie actually helped peel a bit. My lecture to them is "glad to
have your help, watch me peel this one, once you start peeling, please,
do not rub your eyes, do not pick your nose."

RIGHT AWAY I thought "She shouldn't have peeled it all at once!" and then you
said you got burned fingers. <g>
I was surprised (and happy!) to learn that if you freeze it roasted and
unpeeled, then thaw it, the peels just about slide off. So if you have
sufficient freezer space, you can peel just some (before the fingers start to
sting) and then freeze the rest whole.
How cool that there is a little bit of UNM available there for you!!

Roy has been inventing new holidays so that other kids
can be out of school more :-) He has TV Day, Present
Day, Trick Day, Reverse Day, Nothing Day, Regular
Holiday, No Day, Do What Roy Says Day and I'll have to
ask him the rest when he wakes up...He made a list
last night while I was reading to him
(late...midnight)
Peppers (chili, green chili, banana, jalepeno, red,
bell,etc) areedible one of the few things that
actually do well here. They do smell good, and the
squirrels don't seem to like them :-) I have
transplanted the plants to five gallon buckets and
kept them for several years, peppers all year with the
winter in the greenhouse-porch. Roy has been creating
new hot-sauces, and labeling them. One is Lava Sauce,
the label has a volcano on it, the sauce itself is
very thick, like molten lava. DH uses that one a lot.
Not me....it is TOO hot.

Somebody at the picnic said to freeze it in the peel, but I didn't
believe them. So I peeled most of it, and left the peel on some, to
test their suggestion. I'm glad to hear someone else leaves it in the
peel to freeze it. I'l be able to do that next year. But really, the
burn is already gone this am and although it was tedious to peel it, it
was also not such a bad thing.
Reminds me of home.

This sounds to me like you and Mark need to be bringing something to one of
our evening pot luck/grill/dutch oven cake making events. Hint, hint.

I don't miss the smell of NM any time of the year! But then I lived
in Clovis where it always stinks! yuck! I don't ever want to live
near cows again.

Oh well.
I used to dread the smell of Lubbock. Cattle AND oil, there for a while.
We used to drive to see grandparents every single year, through SE New Mexico
and West Texas, in the summer, in a stationwagon without air conditioning.
Eeeeyew.

I'm probably always "pissing some texan off". I live in Texas and wish I
didn't. I'm always spouting off about how "this place sucks!" <g>

'Salright, Jocelyn. Keeping them out cleans up the gene pool here! <eg>
We were getting out of the car in Amarillo once to eat at a restaurant, and
the kids simultaneously yelled, "What is that *smell*!?" To which I replied:
"Money."
