Speaking of August

The eighth month marks the beginning of Hatch chile season. Soon the region surrounding Hatch NM will be inundated with the heady aroma of roasted chile peppers. Fortunately, the Wegmans near me carries them and has a roasting drum at the store one Saturday this month. Owl have to check their event calendar. @Dottleshead, are they available fresh in your neck of Whatcom county?

What makes that region unique? Or can Hatch chilis grow anywhere, they just got the "credit"?

I'll be roasting and restocking the freezer. I think I'm down to one pack in there right now. It also means it's time for stuffed flank steak with roasted corn and papas con chili on the side.

My guess is chile, cheese, and onions

@Parsnip Totin Jack this ad just came in the mail.

@Dottlesheadyou must partake!

I would make a road trip to Hatch NM for this

Beans was the one who turned me on to Hatch chilies. He always had an annual post about a road trip to buy bushels of Hatch chilis 

I have some in the garden, if I kept my seeds straight I'll be able to identify them. But it's not same as Hatch chilis from Hatch

My wife is in charge of what I eat but she knows what I like. In fact she was the one who found and forward the ad to me.

I had to get a couple things from Fry’s this afternoon. They were roasting Hatch chilies. I picked up a bag. He said they will be doing it for 5 more weeks. I will probably get more. 
My friend who lived in the Caymans used to live in ABQ. She is the one who turned me on to them. When we first moved the girls to AZ, before I got to meet @MoseySusan in person, my son and I took the southern route with the van. We stopped in Las Cruces NM and found a place with delicious Hatch Chili burritos! I’ve been a fan since!

[Dottleshead ★]

She bought a whole bag!
