Seems I am always “behind the 8-ball”. I can be a procrastinator, of sorts. Although I have my “act” together in my mind, sometimes my body and actions do not follow. Therefore I find myself in a jam, or a pickle, or between a rock and a hard spot. In other words, I cause a lot of my own stress. Ugh. I would rather blame someone else. Well, I have procrastinated long enough about getting this recipe published. On our most recent travels in Colorado we ran across a farm stand when passing through Pagosa Springs. The primary reason for stopping was to pick up some Colorado tomatoes and apples. Which we did. Then I noticed they had Hatch Green Chile and a roaster. You’ll remember earlier we bought about 100 pounds of Hatch Green Chile, bagged them, and into our freezer they went, along with some elk steaks and ground elk from a hunting trip that My MM took last December with some buds. Well, while we were on this last trip, the GFI plug in the garage was tripped and everything that was in the freezer (and it was packed) was ruined! Our son-in-law Kody found the problem and our other son-in-law, Jeremy, came over and cleaned up the floor. Fortunately the GFI reset worked and so we just finished cleaning out the frozen “mess” when we got home. Still, losing the elk meat and the green chiles was heartbreaking. We have ah-mazing son-in-laws, BTW. OK, so, back in Pagosa, we decided to get about 50 pounds of green chile, which was all of the room we had in our freezer and cooler. We are now happy campers and MM is headed on another elk hunting trip this December, so we will hopefully be able to re-stock soon!! While at the farm stand I spied the cutest veggies I’ve ever seen – or NEVER seen would be more like it. “8-Ball” squash. I will definitely be looking for them again. In fact, Central Market had them when I was there just a couple of days ago. I’m going to have to get more to make this recipe again! You’re gonna love these!!
