Green Chile Time in Tennessee
It's always a treat when we decide to order fresh green chiles from Hatch, NM. Hatch is to green chile as Vidalia is to onion. They are harvested in late August and shipped practically fresh from the field second day air. The process goes like this: We wash them to get rid of any dirt that may be left on them and then roast them on the grill until they turn nearly black. From the grill they go into a paper bag for further steaming. We peel and seed them by running each pepper under running water and then each batch is put into a quart freezer bag for freezing. All those chiles in the picture only made five quarts of green chile! We can't wait to make green chile enchiladas for all our chili-loving children.

My New Alma Mater?????
I have yet to get a grip on the proposed name change for my beloved alma mater, the "W." I can see reasons pro and con for a name change. The word, "women" in the name is somewhat limiting but I do not think the name change will increase enrollment in droves. Sally Reneau was a young girl in the late 19th century who lobbied the state legislature to found the school and it was the oldest state supported school for girls in the country. There is a dorm named for her on campus and I am not sure how they came to the point of choosing her as the namesake of the university. I hope this will be beneficial in the long run as I would hate to see the university close its doors forever.

Inside a Lock
I have never wondered what a lock looked looked like from the inside but that was another reason I was scared to go on a jet ski adventure that included being in a lock. However, it was not as bad as I feared but I am claustrophobic.Saturday, August 8, 2009
