Exciting things are happening in the New Mexico food community right now, especially what the people at Delicious New Mexico are doing for small local food businesses. Their work is bringing together farmers and ranchers with value-added products and connecting them to grocery stores, restaurants, festivals, and to consumers.
Remembering Gary Collins
I had to follow the Parents of Murdered Children on the Gary Collins Show in 1991.
The Ballsiest Beer Ever!

Whatever Floats your BBQ Boat…
Hammacher Schlemmer, the famous purveyors of cutting-edge gadgetry, have done it again, with their nifty barbecue dining boat. Be the coolest grillster on the block for a mere 50K.

I found the Spanish chiles known as pimientos de padrón at the Downtown Growers Market here in Albuquerque and fried them in olive oil, then dressed them with sea salt. Just excellent!
