When you come to the 2008 National Convention of The Arc in Albuquerque, New Mexico, you will have the opportunity to enjoy New Mexican cuisine, which features red and green chilies from our state. Visitors to New Mexico need to know about red and green chile. The smoke-kissed flavor of freshly roasted green chilies and the earthy fruitiness of red chile sauce are essential to New Mexican dishes, like breakfast burritos, stacked enchiladas and carne adovada. Follow it up with sweet honey and sopaipillas.  When you visit one of the many excellent restaurants in Albuquerque, you’ll quickly learn to answer your server’s question, “Red or green?” with authority. Say “Christmas” if you want both red and green chile, and don’t be afraid to ask for the chile on the side if you’re not sure.  The convention is November 6 – 8, 2008.  For additional information about the convention, go to:  http://www.thearc.org For information about “red or green” go to:  http://abqstyle.com/albuquerque_living/
