It's tough to get hatch chilis in North Carolina. Might be impossible.

SOunds good, though

too bad. this is a staple for me. i am addicted to it, i think.

you'd know about hatch chilis. you used to live here. it's hatch chili season again. they only roast these in the summer. pretty soon it will be gone. so i buy them by the bushels and food save it (vacuum pack). i am set for the winter and the rest of the year.
