A journey through New Mexico isn’t complete until you answer the official state question-Red or Green? Of course, we’re talking chile here and that’s a serious subject to foodies in the Land of Enchantment.
With quick advances in the information age, we’re inundated with questions. Will interest rates stay low? Can Obama beat Hilary? How did UCLA lose to Memphis? Will Brett Farve stay retired? I’m getting exhausted with all the questions, but one that always piques my interest is the official state question in New Mexico– Red or Green?

Two tasty rice pudding recipes to keep you warm on a cold night.
Rice is not a traditional dessert dish in my home. But it’s hard to argue with a sweet, creamy, steaming bowl of good rice pudding. Perhaps it is childhood memories of winter in Minnesota that has me associating this dish with a satisfied, comfortably full belly. The smell of sweet milk and cinnamon and that unique texture of the rice on my tongue brings back memories of a warm kitchen on a cold Minnesota winter day, the wind howling outside while the warm coziness of a sweet smelling kitchen kept us warm and snug. Unless you have experienced the below zero temperatures that is part of what winter in Minnesota means, it’s hard to truly appreciate the warm snugness of a truly cozy kitchen. When winter howls cold and fierce outside your door, I hope one of these recipes can keep you warm and snug with the ones you love.

Take one teaspoon of tea for every cup, and one for the pot.
Put the tea leaves in a teapot
Bring the water to a boil
Add the boiling water to the teapot
Let it sit for 5 minutes for the tea to brew
Pour into cups
Add Milk & Sugar if desired.
The art of making tea is very simple, but many people do it wrong. If you take care in what you do, you will enjoy your tea. In Jeeves and Wooster there is a good description of tea making where a person does not even know how to boil water. What entails is very funny.

A 2005 study found that ‘In contrast to early studies, recent research indicates that habitual moderate coffee intake does not represent a health hazard and may even be associated with beneficial effects on cardiovascular health ‘In fact, no clear association between coffee and the risk of high blood pressure, heart attack or other cardiovascular diseases has been demonstrated

Let’s face it, somedays you just want a meal like mom used to make (or dad, depending on your upbringing). But that doesn’t necessarily translate into wanting to whip up the dish for yourself. After all, part of eating a “comforting” memory is that someone we love served it too us. Whether it was because we were suffering from an awful head cold, the flu, got fired from a job or were dumped by a person we thought was our soulmate, having a person who cared serve us something soothing helped-alot.
