Oh yes, green chile cheeseburgers have been the rage for years and years here in New Mexico. And the comment regarding spices are spot on - leave out the cumin and just use garlic powder and salt.

And eat your hearts out, ya'll - I'm just down the road from Manny's Buckhorn, the restaurant that beat out Bobby Flay's green chile cheeseburger. Been eating there for years and it is a fantastic burger. But you can find delicious green chile cheeseburgers all over the state. Even McDonald's offers green chile for your burger!

I think I have the world's largest collection of grasshopper pins. Last count, over 250 unique pins and brooches. Weird, huh? Like many of you, I collect a LOT of things, and have been trying to de-clutter, so many of my collections are in the shed, awaiting sale on ebay. Other collections: Royal Ruby red depression glass, white ironstone, spheres, spices, cookbooks (have hundreds of these that I treasure), miniatures, baskets.....

Cabbage, okra, and broccoli! Hated them all as a kid. Realized it's because my mother, who hated to cook, boiled these three until they were mushy and the whole house smelled bad! As an adult, I learned how to cook them so they're tasty, not mushy. She also used to serve canned spinach topped with mayonnaise or vinegar and fried oysters (mushy also). I STILL hate those two things!
