We had been away a month mostly in Stowe, Vermont, and Soho, NYC, NY and points in-between.
Two things struck me:
It was cloudy when we returned -- all the way from Kansas City to Springer -- but at Springer the clouds broke and for the first time in a month I saw truly blue sky -- not gray, not blue-gray, not light blue, not slate blue -- but true blue.
We stopped to eat at the Zia Diner in Santa Fe and I had the Blue Corn Chicken Enchilada with black beans and green not red you-know-what. And for the first time in a month I thought -- this is delicious.
Yes, I know -- it is un-New Mexican of me, but I love black beans, a taste I acquired years ago eating Cuban-Chinese food in NYC.
Un-New Mexican? I've been to a few southwestern/New Mexican (as well as Mexican) restaurants where they are served as a matter of course (no pun intended)!
I love them, too, and have them as often as I do pintos!
I agree ... black beans are good (very good!), but I rarely get them in restaurants here because they are not New Mexican.
We do eat them a lot at home though...or when I eat Tex-Mex visiting my daughter in Texas.
