So I’m out here in Albetoikey, New Mexico for a few days visiting family with the wife. It’s like being on the light side of the moon, man. I hope to have a couple of good meals, and although the famous Hatch Green Chiles are out-of-season, my sister-in-law has plenty on hand–she freezes them every fall–and I’m all about trying them because heads from New Mexico are crackheads for their Green Chiles, B.
Nice.
In San Sebastian, Spain, the way to eat is to go on a crawl of the pintxos (tapas) bars. One of my favorite dishes was a plate of char-roasted peppers just like that, generously sprinkled with coarse salt. Knock it down with a beer, some jamon, anchovies, etc. and you find yourself 4 hours later, not quite stuffed, not quite drunk, but happily planted in the vicinity.
i was supposed to play in Albetoikey 2 weeks from Saturday. the band leader is still going, but can't afford to take the bass player and me. oh well, hopefully next time. i've never played there and hear it's cool. enjoy!
Heading to Brussels next week for work. I'll be busy with meetings but any highlights I shouldn't miss in my short amount of free time?
