Enchanting People of New Mexico - Ed Foreman

The Fresh Chile Company Podcast ·

2024/06/22

Today I want to tell you how I learned to have a terrific day every day. It came from knowing Ed Foreman who served as a congressman twice, once from Texas and once from New Mexico. After politics he became a motivational speaker helping people live the good life. He grew up in Portales and maybe that is the secret of his success. He always started his seminars and speeches by saying I know you are thinking that this guy has been in politics. He would smile and say No, I’ve gone straight and ...

2024/06/17

Every February the 8th we in Southern New Mexico specifically and all of New Mexico in general celebrate the establishment of the White Sands Missile Range which took a huge amount of cattle grazing area and taxes out of the local coffers but provided several interesting attributes including spreading the taste for Hatch Green and Red Chile over our nation. I will tell you why White Sands Missile Range was created and let you in on a few secrets. Stand by.Love this Podcast? Check out our webs...

2024/06/13

Let us talk about Mining and Mining towns of New Mexico. Let us look at the effect of mining in New Mexico from single miners to big operations. First off, mining is a completely different activity than agriculture. Let me give an example: I love Green Chile and can grow it and onions in my backyard. But I cannot grab a shovel and dig in my backyard for gold or silver. Might be some there but I am sure that trying to find gold in my back yard isn’t going to pan out. But there were some intere...

Enchanting People of New Mexico - Runnels and Skeen

The Fresh Chile Company Podcast ·

2024/06/11

Today I’m going to talk about a strange New Mexico story that happened forty some years ago involving two very popular politicians. One, Harold Runnels, died suddenly, and the other Joe Skeen had to run for the U. S. Congress in New Mexico’s Second Congressional District as a write-in against the replacement for Runnels, David King. Then the incredible happened.Love this Podcast?

2024/06/03

Today I want to do several stories about New Mexico. First up is about the company Kodak and New Mexico in 1945. Leaders of the company, Kodak, were not at the first Atomic explosion in New Mexico at Trinity Site July 16, 1945. The Kodak organization had to find out about the Trinity atomic explosion in an unusual way. Also here is a question: what part did Green Chile play in New Mexico becoming a state? Finally today let us talk about the White Sands which on a snowy day will be l...

Enchanting People of New Mexico - Memorial Day 2024

The Fresh Chile Company Podcast ·

2024/05/27

Today is the Federal Memorial Day 2024, the designated federal holiday to honor those who died in defense of our nation. We should honor those who died and honor those who were left behind by the death of a loved one. Example: if you are driving in Las Cruces near Picacho Hills there’s Quesenberry Lane. For most people it is just a place name, but it is more than that. As to Quesenberry Lane, it honors two soldiers from Las Cruces who died for our country though their deaths were 25 yea...

Enchanting People of New Mexico - Glenn Strange

The Fresh Chile Company Podcast ·

2024/05/24

In Southern New Mexico, up on the Sacramento Mountains Southeastern slope is a small town or rather a hamlet called Weed, New Mexico. Founded in 1884, I think of it when I catch reruns of the television series Gunsmoke. Weed today has less than a hundred people. And there isn’t a monument to Gunsmoke, the twenty-year television series starring James Arness as Marshal Matt Dillion but there is in a connection to the small hamlet of Weed, New Mexico. It is Glenn Strange who played Sam, the Bart...

The Fresh Chile Company Podcast ·

2024/05/20

I want to talk today about Fabián García. I think of him usually with a mouthful of Hatch Valley Green or Red Chile. He is often given the title, The founder of New Mexico Commercial Food Production. While we think of him for his work on Chiles Peppers, he was instrumental in the research on Pecans, Onions, Alfalfa, and Cotton. Importantly, he was a very good researchers along with being a kind and gentle scientist who inspired generations of Horticultural Scientists all over the world. Talk ...

2024/05/17

After the Mexican-American War ended in 1848 Congress wrestled with the slavery issue. The compromise addressed slavery in the newly established territories. President Millard Fillmore signed five bills that first allowed California to enter the United States as a state without slavery. The state of Texas had its northern and western borders defined giving back to New Mexico what is now Eastern New Mexico. Utah was established as a territory as was New Mexico which didn’t have a restriction o...

The Fresh Chile Company Podcast ·

2024/05/09

This last weekend I was thinking about an interesting surprise in the history of New Mexico. Saturday, May 4th, the Kentucky Derby was run. There was a surprising Kentucky Derby fifteen years ago. New Mexico was front and center of that surprise. Let us look back 15 years to a tough little gelding named Mine That Bird that oddsmakers had at 50 to 1, meaning they thought the horse had very little chance at winning. A two-dollar bet on Mine That Bird would get you $103.20 if he won, which shows...
