The Taos Pueblo
New Mexico is a very old place, relative to the rest of the United States. Santa Fe, the state capitol, is the second oldest city in the United States by only 20 years (oldest is Saint Augustine, Fla.).
Coq Au Vin
Ahhh… the name of this dish alone sounds impressive.
It conjures images of a ‘Lady’ of refinement – dazzling in the kitchen over this classic French, yet provincal one-pot dish. At least, in my mind anyway.
Timber Peak Trail 70
One of the things that make New Mexico so great, is represented well in this hike. Diversity in landscape.
