A very quick read. Saw the movie the day after I finished the book. I have to admit I was a little disappointed. The relationships weren't developed in the movie the way I think they should have been. It was certainly interesting to see how differently the worlds were visualized. My vision was very different than the movie. One interesting thing was the diversity of people in the movie. I had all the characters in the book visualized as anglo, but the movie did a great job of bringing in all different ethnicities. I especially loved Lenny Kravitz (super attractive!!!) as Cinna.Aletheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04639814301020489364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019309630553004991.post-80733816997516659862012-04-05T23:08:28.068-06:002012-04-05T23:08:28.068-06:00Steve, Heather is probably busy at church the rest...Steve, Heather is probably busy at church the rest of the week so I thought I'd let you know how we do green chile (it must be spelled with an E here in NM) stew. Only pork--usually shoulder/butt-tightly sealed so juices don't evaporate and roasted low and slow til falling apart tender, roasted green chiles, a little onion and garlic, diced potatoes, the de-fatted pork juices with enough water to make a fairly soupy stew. Oh yes, salt to taste. Of course, there are lots of variations on the recipe. I think some folks might put in tomatoes too. It is the most perfect thing to eat on a snowy day with a nice hot flour tortilla.<br /><br />New Mexico chiles are mostly Anaheims and can be anywhere from very mild to cauterizingly hot. Most of the canned ones are on the very mild side They are quite addictive. We are required to bring frozen chile when visiting Camille! Tomatillos don't ever appear in traditional New Mexico cooking which is very different from Tex-Mex or California style. Ours is heavily influenced by the Native American Pueblo cultures here. And of course we think it's vastly superior!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9019309630553004991.post-35842310407656381182012-04-05T17:50:38.114-06:002012-04-05T17:50:38.114-06:00OH MY GOD.

Is it various peppers, tomatillos and pork?An Urban Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08666212353075804092noreply@blogger.com
