Silverton looks like one of those western towns whose founders weren't sure they would stick around. They probably didn't. Nobody expects to leave a clapboard house to his grandchildren. Nonetheless, against the odds, the clapboard houses are still standing and freshly painted to boot. I suppose this generation feeds off the ski enthusiasts the way an earlier generation fed off the silver veins. They hope their luck holds, but you can see the wrinkles under the rouge. A small pivot of public taste, and this is a ghost town.Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07837540030934495651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-35091938541357197392009-08-17T22:02:04.561-05:002009-08-17T22:02:04.561-05:00The Obama Joker Poster creator has been found.

Right by the roasting setup was a food truck where we had wonderful green chile breakfast burritos. After that, I was hooked. Green chile stew. Green chiles on hamburger. Chile rellenos. Green chile-stuffed sopapillas. Side of green chiles with anything else I happened to order. <br /><br />I tend to stay with a thing when I like it.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774002797359859550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1711354583826669292009-08-17T21:12:21.241-05:002009-08-17T21:12:21.241-05:00Thanks, Michael.

Let's just hope it didn't have any pals.<br /><br />Spiders that eat peppers. Damn.

Delicious as a dip, as a sauce for chili, and excellent for making chili verde. Freezes well also.Michael Hazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139261384414481528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-31730595432642716972009-08-17T19:50:53.955-05:002009-08-17T19:50:53.955-05:00Beth,

Outside of course. <br /><br />I would like to drive over to Hatch and get another bag, but we still have most of last years in the freezer. Might do that anyway and give them all away after roasting. <br /><br />Synova, do you know when it's best to be there for the harvest? A few years back I drove through Hatch looking for chiles, about a week too late, and the whole town seemed closed down.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08344824510190345160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-34834241134140371502009-08-17T19:45:00.607-05:002009-08-17T19:45:00.607-05:00"I saw a brown recluse spider crawl out of th..."I saw a brown recluse spider crawl out of the bag.
