 In conclusion, he wraps up this week’s talk with some mouthwatering observations about the upcoming Hatch green chilies season, which should begin towards the end of July.  The roasting process, which will be held at Central market sometime around the end of the month, creates one of the most delicious summer smells ever!  Luckily those roasted chilies will be available for purchase in various quantities.

 Joe’s popular blog ‘FRESH TALKER’ can be found at the Town and Country website:  www.central-market.com.
