Oaxaca was so wonderful!  We had a great time cooking and seeing all kinds of historical sites.  As remote as Oaxaca is, it is amazing that humans developed a rather sopthisticated culture before Rome.  Some of the artistic designs were similar to Egyptian work.

And of course, the food a Oaxaca was so wonderful!  We had a great time cooking and seeing all kinds of historical sites.  As remote as Oaxaca is, it is amazing that humans developed a rather sopthisticated culture before Rome.  Some of the artistic designs were similar to Egyptian work.

And of course, the food and drink was top notch and quite good.

And…the weather was so temperate—never hot, sometimes a bit of a shower, which kept all of the beautiful flowers glowing with color.  We came back to a heat wave—what a difference!  And Oaxaca is so far south, you’d think it would be warmer than New Mexico—but not the case.

Now, back to cooking classes and the Pecos Valley Spice business.

I am looking forward to initiating the green chile season with you next week when we have our first Green Chile Fiesta on Thursday evening, June 26 at 5 PM.  You will get a “jump start” on the tips and hints for working with and selecting green chiles, a super favorite of folks once they have lived here for a while.
