Where are the hot roasted Chile Peppers?
Not the musical kind...Food!
Last year, vendors were roasting 40 lb boxes of fresh chilie peppers. Into a 50 gallon barrel with holes in it, turned 'round & 'round, while a gas heater fires 'em up from underneath. When the skin crinkles, they're done, & people take 'em home & do whatever they do with 'em. Some haul as many as 5 or 6 boxes, at 40 lbs a box. Whole families patiently standing in line for their share. ABM was able to score a burlap bag of pinto beans last year. They made the best chilie con carne you ever tasted. No sight of the roasting bbl's this year. Probably too early.
Stinkin' up the grease!
Fresh fried Rocky Mountain Rainbow Trout for dinner last night, right under the spruce trees. Caught a dozen more this morning, including a German Brown Trout, almost as long as my arm.. as luck would have it, he got away from me no more than 2 feet from shore.. In the old days, woulda cussed & threw the pole away. Realize now that if they got enough sense to get off the line, they deserve a second chance. Better half scored one right after mine, about 16 inches, so everything worked out fine. After catching 50 rainbows in 2 days, it ain't like we need anymore fresh fish, ya know?
Rode down into Cortez, Co yesterday for some supplies. Just down the road, thousand year old Indian Cliff Dwellings.. Cool place. Figuring on riding into the desert maybe later in the week.. Monument Valley?
