While Hatch Chile is delicious and almost always used in making Chile Rellenos I prefer some other varieties in other dishes. I usually order red rather than green at a restaurant. Red or green? Your answer speaks volumes about you in New Mexico
Dixon apples grown in Northern New Mexico were great! In 2016 the land was traded back to the Cochitis for land in Santa Fe. Oh well... Some decent wines are now being produced from vineyards in NM. I discovered some grown from the original root stock brought by the Spaniards when they settled there. New Mexico Office of the State Historian | people

In February of this year I went out and hiked to the bottom and back up the Grand Canyon. Hiked back out in a blizzard with two feet of snow. Also visited Albuquerque and Santa Fe and Durango while I was out there. Nice places and lots of interesting things to see and do.
