$25 a bushel!? Sheesh - I have been going to the chile farms to pick my
own and they roast it there for you for an extra couple of bucks. I sort
of know the owners so we get chile very cheap - about 40 lbs roasted for
$5 or so.
The house smells fantastic for days after the chile gets bagged. yummy.
There is some red chile available now, but mostly green.
Have a great time in Abq!
