What in the world is a "hulu" and why should I care?
ps - you can get all back episodes of Burn Notice there. Is that cool or what?
Don't go all Ted Kaczynski on us there in New Mexico now...
Shankie, I just want you to know that I was out for a pleasant drive the other day. I enjoyed the warm sunlight, the view of the mountains ringing Las Cruces, the smell of the clean desert air just after a nice rain.
I also really loved driving through the green chile fields. Millions of two foot high, bright green Hatch Green Chile plants were soaking up the sun. Engaged in that constant cycle of life, turning energy from the sun into the very essence of life within their lil green cells. Soon they will be supporting those shiny little chile pods, seeds maturing within and growing strong to survive the winter.
This fall during the chile festival, tons and tons of green chiles will be roasted over open fire. Their protective skins charred and cracked, the meat of the peppers flash cooked and full of flavor. The skins slide off with just a touch and then with a bit of salt and a warm tortilla we shall feast upon them in the simple fashion of old.
A strong whiff of aromatics as you take a bite, the juice alighting upon the palate as your brain releases a flood of endorphins upon sensing the potent capsicum. The euphoric sense of well being coupled with a slight dizziness soon passes and becomes a gentle sigh of contentment deep within ones most inner self. The sounds of happy children and excited adults mix with the heady scents of all of those girls from the college and university as they flaunt their nubile young bodies.... making one wonder at what they might be wearing underneath.
Late into the night the revelry extends into the dark beginning of another day, sated upon the chiles we hop from club to club, mingling with the locals and visitors alike. Perhaps to end with a trip to the Double Eagle and its bar, built way back in the days of the old west seeing the likes of Billy the Kid and Sheriff Pat Garrett. A wave at the bartender and a gesture towards that enormous glass container up behind the bar.... to finish off the night with a shot of their top shelf vodka that has been steeping in a jar full of green chiles. If you so dare.
