It’s my favorite time of year, so Bill and I jam packed our weekend before I head off to QVC! The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta kicked off on Saturday, and the morning mass ascension was spectacular! We couldn’t have asked for better weather.  I just love seeing 100,000+ smiles! 

Next, we headed to the Grecian Festival for some food, music and dance.  It makes me happy to see teenage boys and girls dressed in traditional clothing proudly and joyfully performing their Greek dances.  From there, we headed to Wagner Farms in the Village of Corrales for our annual bushel of green chile, smelling them fire roasting while we picked out a pumpkin.  With a trunk load of chile, it was time to head home to pack them up for freezing.  We pull out the larger ones, what we call “rellenos worthy”, and label those bags with an “R”.  All this chile inspired me to cook up some of my favorite recipes on Sunday, and I was excited to open up my new set of Temp-tations cookware. My Chicken Mezra with Red Chile Glaze and Calabacitas looked great in the baking dishes!  And I love how the harvest motif on this set looks next to my big pot of Green Chile Stew!   If you’d like to bring the taste of New Mexico into your kitchen, you can find the recipes on my Facebook page. 

I have an idea….since this is my last Carolyn Pollack Jewelry event of the year, why don’t we all gather around the TV with a pot of Green Chile stew for a virtual harvest party on October 9th?  I’ll be with two of my very dear friends; Nancy for an hour at 4pm ET, and Jane for two hours at 7pm ET!  There will be lots of new, many favorites, and some amazing clearance prices on retiring styles.  I hope you will join us for some fun girl time.  And thank you from all of us at Relios for a wonderful year! Have a beautiful autumn.

Love,

Carolyn
