My favorite morning?  when Chile Shack John, Maria and I are all in the kitchen kicking some tush and cooking our hearts out!  Today we each bring our own flare to our farmers tasty tidbots.  Maria bringing the green chile stew on, John hooking us up with spicy pinto beans with a strong kick! and Ang bringing up the rear with beet greens and a HUGE batch of greens bake!  This time of year the dark leafy greens abound and I LOVE IT!  get in on this action – trust me you’ll be sad when they’re done for the season.  And everyone do th weather dance and make sure the temps stay above hard freeze (stay in the 30’s) … all those sweet fab strawberries are naked and need the love.
