    Bee Stings & Balloon Faces

    So…apparently I’m allergic to bee stings.  How allergic?  Well, the kind of allergic that swells up your face so you look like a balloon and makes the doctor give you an EpiPen “just in case you go into anaphylactic shock next time”.  Awesome. I’ll spare you the horrifying pictures of my face (which was swollen yesterday and twice as swollen…

    Hatch Green Chile

    What do you do in New Mexico in September? Well, unless you’re insane, you buy Hatch chile in bulk (by the sack full) and have the nice people you buy it from roast it (while you’re waiting, someone might even treat you to the juiciest freshly sliced peach you’ve ever eaten). Then, you bring it home, let it steam for…
