Both for you and for adults who write overwrought poetry and don't burn it immediately. Or at least put it in a locked diary.
I keep looking at the mail and blinking. At least the word "effulgent" isn't in it?
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Okay, Graeters Carmel sounds like amazing porn.
I had the best take on a Chili Relleno tonight while out with Nicole and Amy. Big chili stuffed with shrimp, lump crab meat, and calamari in a cheesy sauce. NOM.
That's ... not a relleno. It sounds, honestly, delicious. But it's not a relleno.
Poblano, stuffed with cheese, coated in an egg batter, fried and topped with sauce and then a sprinkling of cheese before being run under a broiler, that is a chili relleno. And I want one.
I am hungry and insanely premenstrual emo.
[Edit: not pre. Okay, then.]

You're not wrong.

Nope. WRONG. Hatch green chile stuffed with that mexican white cheese whose name escapes me at the moment, egg battered and fried, as a side to the entree. If you want sauce, green chile sauce and/or a fried egg.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Are we going to get a Hatch/Poblano smackdown here?

I accept the hatch (happily, those are seriously nom) but fried egg????? Also red sauce is totally acceptable. Because rellenos are an entree, not a side. That's crazy.
(This is where it becomes very, very obvious that sara and I lived in different parts of the southwest. And that one's traditional way of doing things is the One Right and Proper Way. And that bantering on the internets is a buffista tradition.)

Hatch actually wins. But they are elusive things. Poblanos are easier to find if you aren't in New Mexico at the exact right time and place.
Point of interest, there was also a Hatch road near my high school. Named for a friend's family.

Oh I know it wasn't a true relleno. I have been disappointed with most restaurant rellenos, but the description made it sound good regardless of what it was called.
If either of you want to come hear and show me the "one true way", you are more than welcome to cook for me.

Southern NM cuisine is a thing unto itself. Thank god I was born there and know the right of it. Red is ok, but green is the god, unlike the godless north NM, being that Hatch goodness is right there. Even national chains roast hatch green in barrel drums during the season. Your eyes burn. And fried egg is a topping for all.
Rellenos are a side that far down in NM. Corn enchiladas (stacked or rolled depending on family) are entrees. As are soft tacos, menudo, flour tortillas, chorizo, posole, chile stew, tamales...

Man, green chili in NM is just about heaven. When I am there, I cannot even ponder ordering red. But elsewhere it lacks that absolute magic, so I can eat both.
I can't even find a relleno version I like here. And in Arizona I had to be careful because places would put meat in them and I'd be very wtf because in my world, rellenos don't have meat in them. Ah, regionalisms.
