New Mexico is the USA home of the very best chili, red and green. (Chilis turn from green to red as they ripen). Many fans of New Mexican cuisine order their enchiladas “Christmas”. That means the enchilada is flanked by red sauce and green sauce. HG prefers green chili. BSK relies upon green chili sauce to enliven many dishes. Last night, BSK made a lush pot of chicken in green chili sauce. (BSK’s pork green chili stew is one of HG’s favorite cold weather meals). Shakshuka, the Middle Eastern (omnipresent in Israel) egg and vegetable stew is another HG fave. BSK made a five egg version last week. HG thought it the best ever. It had a desirable level of spicy heat. You guessed it. BSK had added a healthy amount of green chilis to the stew. Dish was topped with Harissa for additional fire. (HG cooled it down with a side dish of Greek yogurt swirled with olive oil, cumin and zaatar).
So happy to read Hungry Gerald is still at the table. With the dishy BSK serving up delight.
So happy that you are alive and, I presume, healthy. At my age, 92, my pals, as the song has it, are dwindling down to a precious few. And, you will always be precious to me and Sharon.
