Lol there is nothing better than the smell of roasting chiles...if you don't live in the SW most people have no idea what we are talking about...

the roaster guys set up 55gal mesh drums that rotate.  They have propane burners under them.  The chiles are dumped by the box full...used to be burlap sacks full...into the roasters and turned till they are blistered....then dumped into big plastic bags...

you take them home and let them cool in the bag....then I bag them 20 to 25 to a bag then freeze them...

As we are waiting for them to cool so we can handle them ..DH and I light the grill and warm corn tortillas...when warm we peel a chile...put it on the tortilla...melt cheese for DH...vegan cheese for me on the warm chile and eat....pure heaven...Hatch green chiles....the best...DW

Ladies -- STOP, STOP, STOP!!!! lol

My girflfriend just sent me a note this morning, said she got Palisade peaches in the metro suburbs a few days ago. 

It's just tooooooooooo much for me - yikes!!!

@3suwm5. The question is what metro???  I'd give anything for some of those peaches.  I've gotten beautiful peaches at the City Market stores.  Unfortunately they're all in Colorado.

Yes Kachina - she got them in CO suburbs' farmer's markets.  We do get their peaches, here in the midwest at the grocery stores, probably in the next week or so.....CROSSING MY FINGERS FOR SURE.

While in gj, I would go to the orchards and take home at least a dozen every week.  I'm crying right now just thinking about it.

City Market here in Durango has Olathe corn 6/1.00 ... I didn't get any..they are way small...kinda early for those too..the peaches I've had so far are cling..and are 3 paper towel peaches to eat..nice and juicy...I'm waiting for the cling free peaches...they are the best for freezing...DW

@dancingwoman. My mother always claimed Olathe corn was the best in the world.  It does seem early for corn and peaches.
