been living on garbage for the last 10 days, gonna chew on a mesquite grilled ribeye and some fire-roasted green chilis in a few minutes!

maybe open a bottle or Mexican red wine from Baja it rained a little about an hour ago and it is nice and cool, if dang humid right now. good to be home.

[Ptah]

1. Sounds wonderful.

Hatch?

[Kali]

3. probably

though a goodly portion of Hatch chilis are grown a little to the south in northern Chihuahua

50 cents/lb at Safeway!

[MiddleFingerMom]

4. Food City has them year-round -- already roasted.

[Kali]

6. uh, we don't have a food city in benson.

5. mc d's, Ottos Pizza (not garbage, damn good pizza, actually)

michelina's $1 frozen micro in a variety of flavors ( ), what are you wearing? I mean Popeye's spicy and ... red beans and rice, ooo baby!

also some assorted snacky things from trader joe's, taco bell, and filiberto's (not garbage)

plus some fancy french too-rich for me, filled croissant type pastry dealies that I could barely eat a half of one

[MiddleFingerMom]

8. Popeye's red beans & rice?!?!?!?

12. :drool:

I grew up on the West Bank of NOLA and there was a Popeye's on every corner. Red beans and rice they do well. Except everybody does them well in New Orleans and you always knew what you would be eating on a Monday - and looked forward to it.

A shade of spice and boudin in that, it's a hearty meal.

[MiddleFingerMom]

13. I've eaten it in upscale Cajun restaurants where thE chefs thought it a good idea...

.
.
.
... to fancy it up with meats and (gasp) vegetables and it never failed to suck (though
one place here in Tucson -- now closed -- topped theirs with 5 coins of char-grilled
Andouille sausage... heaven, heaven, fucking HEAVEN!!!)

[Aerows]

15. Define upscale Cajun Restaurants. n/t

[MiddleFingerMom]

16. Expensive restaurants usually 500 miles or more from Louisiana with menus...

.
.
.
... influenced more by Sunset Magazine than New Orleans.

17. What?

My father was in that at one time as one of New Orleans 10 best golfers. I shit you not, and I'll show you the trophy and take a picture of the plaque.

Doesn't make it an authority on Copeland's.

[Suich]

11. I eat Michelina's if I'm being lazy!

There's Cheeseburger Mac in my freezer right now, and I got it on sale for $.88!

[ConcernedCanuk]

14. That ain't garbage food IMO

.

Digging in a dumpster, that's "garbage" food.

yeah, I did that.
