Hi, everyone. Glad to be here.

I tend to be more of a reader than an active poster, but I'll try to chime in when I feel like I have something worthwhile to add to the conversation.

Welcome to eGullet, Joe. I look forward to hearing what you have to say when you say it. I am sure you have lots to offer, but, in the meantime, happy reading.

Hi there, new eGulleter,  You don't say where you are from, but your name speaks of the Southwest of the USA.  Welcome to eGullet.

The name is a nod to my love of New Mexican red chile. I chose it when I first began posting on another food forum about 15 years ago. Just decided to stick with it here. Regionally, I'll most likely be frequenting the eGullet board that covers Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico. I'm really looking forward to exploring the cooking boards here, as well. I enjoy cooking and trying cuisines that are new to me. I have a decent cookbook collection, pretty wide-ranging, but am always looking for different food experiences. Big fan of Indian food. Big fan of Persian food. My favorite things to cook are stew-y dishes, and those two cuisines feed(excuse the pun) into that.

My DH and I love Indian food and living in Canada, it's easy to find the ingredients and restaurants if you want that.  I have found that many Americans have no access to Indian food and that's too bad.
