"Chiles from Hatch, New Mexico"

Yesterday on my drive from Tucson to Denver, I couldn't pass up a stop in Hatch, New Mexico, Pepper capital of the U.S. My goal was to buy some cooking peppers for my son,Chad who is a fantastic gourmet chef in his spare time, just one of his many talents. The name of the shop where I purchased the peppers is called 'Chilie Fantatic. As you can readily tell, the chilies come in multi colors and include a variety of shapes. They are just so colorful!!Now I just can't wait for my son's cooking, but first we need to go out for some good Thai food this evening.
