Our New Mexico Friends Will Appreciate This

Yes, Virginia, green chiles DO grow in New Hampshire.
Here are some being roasted on my stove top (we dont have an outdoor grill) I took an oven rack and laid it over the burner and roasted a few at a time, turning them with metal tongs. It was a slow process, but oh, did they smell wonderful!
 Along with the chiles (Joe Parker variety, sort of hot) there are also some Poblanos.  So of course I had to make chile rellenos for supper.  It was a pepper-heavy meal. Poblanos, roasted green chiles, and red bell pepper in our kale salad. Yum

Here are several jars of pickles fermenting.  I just fill a jar when I have enough cucumbers.  The last one is a jar of dilly green beans., just started today.  The cukes usually take 3-4 days to reach a good flavor.  The nice thing about these ferments is that the nutritional value is high, they are full of probiotics, and they will store for months with no refrigeration needed. And did I mention they are super tasty?
