I’m sorry, but the recipe will have to wait. I just attended a performance of the James & Ernie Show in the UNM Ballroom. I offered my students extra credit to attend, and I’m so glad to have seen some of them there. It was brilliant! I won’t do the show an injustice by trying to recapture it, but I will say this: if you get the chance to attend, do not pass it up. It’s a great way to capture some of the nuances we may or may not be exposed to in the rest of our lives. Their take on the multiculturalism we experience daily.

Today’s blog post will be a recipe from Mamá’s Kitchen, just in time for dinner later on.

For now I just wanted to point you in the direction of Duke City Fix.

When I started this blog (this last weekend), I wasn’t sure what the state of blogging was in our oasis of technology. Now I know! Get your profile there and come say hi!

A warm welcome by the creator reminds me that this is a local, community-based effort, a social network worlds apart from Tom being your first friend on Myspace (I have one of those too, but you’ll have to work to find it if we’re not acquainted). I’m keen on jumping headlong into this effort.

Now, off to teach and learn. Stay tuned for Green Chile Stew later!
