I was doing so well, wasn’t I? For a few days in a row, I busted out some blog entries (I thought about using a modifier & decided against it). I’ve been trying to come up with some sort of frame work so I have motivation or some sort of a structure for writing posts. That’s when I came up with I Like This Thursdays. Each Thursday (humor me, here) I will write to you about something wonderful that I like. It could be a person or a product or a TV show – anything. The possibilities are limitless. So here we go.

I flippin’ love hatch chiles. I came to this realization about this time last year when any time you hopped out of your car at a grocery store in Flagstaff, you were greeted with the delicious aroma of roasting hatch chiles. TO. DIE. FOR. I have been looking forward to August since last September. I knew the fancy grocery store in town, Central Market, did a Hatch Chile Festival, so I knew I’d be able to locate the goods, which was important when August rolled around and I didn’t smell chiles anywhere. What the heck?
So today, I plopped my boy in the car and headed to the land of chiles. When I parked and opened my car door, my heart dropped. All I could smell was ashpalt. Another San Antonio disappointment. I needed to pick up tea leaves for my dear friend, so I went in the store, desperately searching for a chile roaster.
Ugh, well, I found some iced roasted chiles and tried about five different Hatch chile flavored edibles, but theres a little hole in my heart that can only be filled by the warm aroma of roasting chiles. That’s why I Like This.

(I considered starting with Episodes Four, Five & Six, and then heading to One, Two & Three, but decided against it. Let’s not get TOO nerdy.)
