Growing up in ABQ across

the street from the Wenks of "Wenk Farms" we thought midstate Rio Grande valley chili was best. Then Sichler's and finally the best bags of green in the world came from Togami's the last year before it became a subdivision. That chili was absolutely perfect in all ways. Surprisingly Rocky Ford area ofColorado produces some fine green.

Now it comes in 1 lb packages on a plane from "New Mexico Connection" along with my red . . . Red Chili.

That box looks like many a fine meal from eggs and meat with a red chili sauce to posole and a many a "Bowl of Red" (beans, meat,or mixed)!

I only hope those parts of the valley not buried under houses can hold out an grow Chili for the future, but the farmers get old and retire on subdivided farm money.

Gonna have to give them a call, starting to run low on Red about now anyway.

Yes those of us that like our Chili . . . REALLY LOVE OUR CHILI!
