Turkey Con Chile?

The tradition of staying home or spending your Thanksgiving with family is alive and well in the U.S.  Just look at the droves of people who were flying to get to their loved ones.  But there is also a faction of travelers that have a different destination in mind - the mountains!  Starting the day off in front of the TV isn't in their game plan.  Banking turns in the snow of the Rockies is.

People have flocked to Santa Fe, New Mexico for years to experience their great artist community, southwest cuisine and laid-back atmosphere, but people are discovering Ski Santa Fe, located just minutes from the city.  The travelers (and skiers/boarders) that are making their way to Ski Santa Fe are finding that their turkey dishes come with a kick.  There are lots of great recipes that include Red or Green Chile.  Some even feature Mole (pronounced Mo-Lay) which has a combination of Red Chile and Chocolate (it sounds weird, but is amazing).  Here is a recipe that I found on About.com which sounds really good and I'm going to try it this year.  About.com Santa Fe Turkey Recipe

No More Yelling at Your Shoes

  My days of carousing about the town till the crack of dawn (and yelling at my shoes) are pretty much over, but if they weren't, I'd be living it up in Red River, New Mexico.  You know what they say, "A mortgage, a car, a job; boy did I screw up!"  Last time I actually did go carousing was in Red River and I had the best tour guide you could have.  His name is Wally Dobbs and he is pretty much world famous.  He lives in Red River, New Mexico (and Austin, TX) and he's pretty much the ambasador to good times.  He spends his summers traveling around the south preaching the gospel of skiing and in the winter he teaches skiing at Red River and runs the Lift House bar.

Last time he took me around, we hit the Bull of the Woods Bar, Lift House Bar, Texas Reds and a number of other places I can't remember due too many Miller Lites.  Did I mention he has great taste in beer?  One thing I vividly remember is every "bubba" I ran into welcomed me like I knew them my whole life.  Usually it was a greeting like "How the Hell are you?"  In Red River, all are welcome.  Just be sure to bring your liver!
