Whole Foods Has Hatch Green Chiles!

At least at the Pearl Street store, where I just saw chiles from Hatch, New Mexico, both in glorious piles of fresh ones, and also some already roasted in the fridge case on the east side of the produce department.  This is a bittersweet moment for me.  Much as I love cooking with roasted green chiles, their arrival has always signaled the close of summer for me.  I'll just keep reminding myself that I don't think I've ever seen them in Boulder so early.  Plenty more summer to go, so we can enjoy the best of it all!
