Our last visit was over a year ago. Its winter and its Christmas so there will be penty of new things for the little guy to see and do. This holiday season in New Mexico is spectacular as far as I'm concerned. We will eat plenty of chile. Visit plenty of 
pueblos. Enjoy the archtecture. And bask in the beauty of the landscape....but I think my favorite is going to be eating tons of chile.And when you order both red and green its called "Christmas Style" or "a la Navidad"
Some have refered to this style as "wet" but in New Mexico it is typically called 'smothered'.
This guys blog covers a lot of resturants I might just have to checkout. I got the burrito picture from there.

Oh sweet Jesus! You tapped my favorite! Thank God I already had lunch or I'd be jonesin right about now.
Do you have family in New Mexico? What brings you that way?
That's it. I'm off to make me some enchiladas.
Divalicious: my favorite too
HAR: I am from there...so yes.
Stepping: you go on and do just that...sounds great to me.
Oh, I'm sure you're going to enjoy every moment of you visit in the homeland! When do you leave? I'm sure the pup can't wait for it all too.
Enjoy yourself! Remember to bring back supplies- chili powder, etc.....
Chels: we leave on saturday and we are so excited
Buffalo: supplies - thats a given...eating it there -priceless
Well, green chile is ce3rtainly addictive. We did the Manhattan/NM thing for quite awhile. Glad to live now in NM full-time and go the other way to visit!

Blogging has stimulated conversation among virtual/real friends but Blogger, by altering the commenting structure, has limited comments only to Google's bloggers using the Blogger platform.

beautiful pictures--the lights look amazing. So does the burrito!
as soon as I hear "smothered" I think waffle house lingo and onions...
motherpie: lucky you...I 'feel' incarcerated in NYC
Tavolini: thats funny I know that lingo but dont they say "scattered" as in 'scattered all over'...I love the huddle house cheeseburger....I had some many many years ago and I still remember them
that's gorgeous.
i'd love to visit NM> i've been to sedona nd that was gorgeous!
I've always wanted to go...you make it sound wonderful!
Plus the food!!!!
Enjoy~
That looks wonderful... I mean the food and the trip. I love that part of the world, and that food. Big envy.
Scattered, Smothered, Covered, Chunked, Topped, Diced & Peppered. :)
Why is it called New Mexico and what was wrong with the old one?
Tanya K: arizona has different flora and fauna...
Real Live Lesbian: you should go it is so serene
Fathairy: you are close enough I though you would have been to the bases there at least...
Tavolini: hey you would know those places are down in your neck of the woods...LOL thats too funny...
Laracroft: because it was an extension of mexico before it became a state, Congress admitted New Mexico as the 47th state in the Union on January 6, 1912...
when are you leaving? can you stop by and pick me up on your way?
oh yes indeed, i do love the word smothered.
You are after my own heart because I truly believe a vacation should be all about eating LOL!!!
have a safe trip and take lots of pictures.
I really should not visit your blog before I eat breakfast - especially since the closest "Mexican" restaurant is Taco Bell.
Enjoy your holiday!
Man, that food looks so damn good! Me=Jealous!
You can start your own restaurant just by advertising with your blog! Your food looks great!
I guess I won't be the only one basking in the hot sun!
Have fun! ;-)
And don't do anything I wouldn't do... wink
What I would give for a hot New Mexico Christmas!
I went to New Mexico about 20 years ago when my friend was stationed there. It was a real pleasure. Apart from the airline losing my luggage.
Have the BESt time and Merry Christmas, if you celebrate.

Pinknest: smothered with chile and cheese, you could say suffocated with chile and cheese and I would want it.
Mel: thanks and isnt eating the only way to go?
Dana: taco bell is good, I like the beef and potato burrito
Jason: I hae to say you shoud be but.....
Solarisgal: I wish it was that easy and thanks the idea is great.

Dave: I hear you loud and clear
har: ah memories....
Is there a Best Food Blog Award? How long did you live in New Mexico? I've heard it's beautiful. My H worked in Texas on the Rio Grande for many years and he raves about the landscape, which I think is similar?
Oooooh I'm going to New Mexico too!! But not until March ... grrrrr ...
Rest assured I will be reading your blog.
NOW why am I suddenly hungry?

~Angel~
akakarma: my family has lived in new mexico since the 1500's or so....
Angel: march is an excellent time...spring will have sprung.
Yes enjoy!
casdok: thanks

I think that I would be in chile heaven! I think that I'd opt for the "Christmas style."
