Ty's Take

Cherry dessert chimichangas aren't something you see on every menu around here, but that's exactly the kind of thing that keeps a place like Bode's or a local kitchen worth walking into. This far north of Santa Fe, we've got centuries of food tradition baked into the land grants and the family recipes that don't make it onto paper, and when somebody takes that heritage and tries something new with it, even something as unlikely as frying up a chimichanga and filling it with cherries instead of meat, that's worth paying attention to. The Chama Valley and Abiquiú country have always been a place where the old and new bump into each other, whether it's a gallery opening next to a working ranch or a artist's kitchen experiment in a village that's been cooking the same way for generations. A good dessert chimichanga tells you somebody's thinking about what home means, and thinking about how to keep people coming back to the table.

Ty's Take There's a stretch of bad luck running through the county this week, the kind that reminds you how quick things can turn. A four-car wreck south of town put four people in the hospital, somebody's facing charges over mushrooms (and you
