Grilling: Green Chile Cheeseburger

Canned green chiles are a very poor substitute. They have a tinny, vinegary flavor. You better bust out and grill the poblanos.

Grilling: Green Chile Cheeseburger

We ate at Buckhorn Tavern last month on our way to Las Cruces. desert_rat, you were right about the long line. We waited about an hour (thankfully in the shade!).
The burgers were great. The owner was there; he actually cleaned our table, seated us, and served our burgers. Very nice guy.
I made green chile cheeseburgers last night with some freshly roasted green chile, and my son actually compared them to the Buckhorn Tavern's!
Bobcat Bite is closer to where I live, so we go there fairly often. Excellent green chile cheeseburgers there, too.
One summer during chile season a friend came to visit from Florida and could not believe the chile craze. He almost lost it when he saw the sign at McD's advertising the green chile burgers!
Also, I think the chile is finding its way to various places around the country. My bro in North Carolina found some Hatch chile at the grocery store. Anyone else find Hatch chile at the store where you live? (not canned)

How about passing a whoopie cushion around the table and taking turns sitting on it!
I'm sure there'd be very few offended people with all that fun going on!

Grilling: Green Chile Cheeseburger

Definitly no cumin. Hatch green chiles or some from another area in New Mexico are what need to be put on a GCC. Poblanos are pretty, but don't pack that punch the burger needs.
Southern Colorado grows yummy chiles called Mira Sols. I'm lucky enough to be able to go to the local farmers' market and get chiles from growers in the valley areas of Northern New Mexico.
Really all you need is good quality ground beef and your standard fixins with the addition of fresh roasted chile. It's a dream!

Just to clarify...

Yup, gotta have that salt flavor with lobster. I prefer crab legs, but always with melted salted butter.

The time is upon us.

I just bought some specifically for Chiles Rellenos for dinner tonight.
They smell so yummy.
I already made the beans, and the rice is on the stove.
We defrosted our freezer last weekend in preparation for a Labor Day weekend chile roasting fest!! Can't wait...

Heirloom Tomatoes Help

Wow, thanks everyone for the suggestions! I can hardly wait for this afternoon to get busy with my heirlooms.
I know they are overpriced, but I've never sprung for such expensive tomatoes, and thought, what the heck...
I definitely won't cook them; thanks for that advice.
The mozz are little balls about an inch across. All the label says is "Fresh Mozzarella".
I'll probably do the oriecciete(sp) thing or stick with the fresh salad.
Thanks again!

Forgot about El Patio in Albuquerque
We ate there recently after not going for many years. It was still yummy.
We also ate at Olympia cafe and had great gyros!
Garcia's is also very popular though I haven't been there in years.

We're driving our son down to Las Cruces for college this weekend and are looking forward to having a Buckhorn Tavern burger on the way!
Very psyched...

About the burger, not about the son leaving :(

Popcorn: Do You Err on the Side of Unpopped or Burnt?

Stovetop popcorn is far superior and not too much trouble to make.
Totally worth it.

Almond Advertisement on Serious Eats

I, too, can't stand ads that move or those that creep across the page.
You are stuck looking for the minute little "x" to get rid of them.
Of course, many websites have these, not just SE, but no matter where they are, they are extremely annoying and distracting.
The grossest ad I've seen was a big flabby belly shaking like jell-o! Yuk!

how to cook goat

Where I live, goat is roasted underground for many hours. I have never done it myself, but it is quite labor intensive. I have seen people wrap goat meat in foil and slow roast it in the oven.
A Caja China or similar apparatus may work well. But the only way I've heard of goat being prepared is slow roasting/burying. Yummy!!

In Season: Basil

I have a basil plant this year, but I've never known this...
From where do I pluck the leaves to encourage new growth? Do I just take the little bunches from the tops of the stems?

Where to eat near I-25 (Trinidad/Colorado Springs/Denver)?

Trinidad is known for its Italian restaurants, though I've never tried any.
My boss gave me the name of a good one a few years ago, but I can't remember the name. I'm sure it was some kind of an Italian last name
That may be something to look into...
In Denver, the Cherry Cricket has great burgers, rings and stuff. A little out of the way, though, from the interstate. We like Wahoo's fish tacos. It's a chain place. It's good and there's one right off the Hampden exit.
