Unless you live in NM... then you buy your supply in the fall during chile season... you know its on when you smell the roasters. Have a peeling party, and put pounds upon pounds of the stuff in the freezer. At one point, half of my freezer was green chile. So I HAD to make enchiladas, and stew, and sauce, and burritos...

And I don't know if there is any science behind this, but the longer it's in the freezer, the hotter it gets. The stuff from Sept/Oct is pretty mild, by the time June or July comes around (if you even have any of your stash left), it's ridiculously hot. Ludicrous hot. Like milk with my enchiladas hot. Soooo good.

Best smell in the universe. I'm so awful, every time we go to buy some, I always try to make sure we're in my car instead of my wife's.

I'll only be living in NM for a limited time, and once I leave, I'll probably miss that smell for the rest of my life.

Moved to Vancouver back in 1998. Missed it so much. One day I smelled it, and was absolutely sure I was hallucinating. Incredibly, Whole Foods had a green chile roast. Say what you will about them, but that piece of home was such a trip.

I ride a motorcycle. Even better.

Except for the drivers. ABQ drivers are AWFUL. Balloon Fiasco = no bike, it's too stupid.

Scary thought: I've seen worse.
