Southwest Indian Cooking

Many of the foods that we now enjoy and take for granted are American Indian in origin, including corn, squash, melons, gourds, pumpkins, beans, and chile peppers. In addition to its value for sustenance, food is regarded by Indians as a precious gift and so is treated with reverence. This sacred...

Homeschooling – Education Options and Support Groups

It's that time of year again. You know, school is ending. You've already put in your applications for next year or hoping it's not too late to switch public schools. The financial aid application deadline is past, or is fast approaching. Whatever it takes to give our children the education model that best fits the needs of our children, we do it.

For many of us in Santa Fe, that education model is through home learning, or homeschooling by its more popular name. Homeschooling is being seen more as a mainstream option, rather than an alternative model. It has not become just another way to...

Southwest Indian Cooking

Many of the foods that we now enjoy and take for granted are American Indian in origin, including corn, squash, melons, gourds, pumpkins, beans, and chile peppers. In addition to its value for sustenance, food is regarded by Indians as a precious gift and so is treated with reverence. This sacred nature of food is everywhere evident in Indian culture. The dances, prayers, and ceremonies all reflect the significance and value of food in daily existence.

Earth and Sky: May 12 - 18

The week starts with opportunities for success in any endeavor if you put some effort into it. By Wednesday your energy level may drop, and your body will be in need of a day off. So, make the most of Monday and Tuesday this week for accomplishing something that you really want. People will be more open and receptive then.

We are heading towards a powerful full moon on the 19th, which begins to feel like a wave that is swelling as the weekend arrives. Saturday can be challenging and throw you off balance; be careful of accidents with sharp metal objects.

Remodeling in Santa Fe’s Historic Districts

Santa Fe has been my home for thirty five years. I first fell in love—and always will be—with the breathtaking mountain views, the rich cultural heritage and, most important to me, the city’s historic architecture. The unique multicultural texture of Santa Fe—mixing Spanish, Indian and Anglo heritages—has produced historic neighborhoods that are visually exhilarating. Often their beauty is in the details--vigas, corbels, portales, deep-set windows, brightly-colored doors—but it’s also found in the simple but dramatic juxtaposition of homes on a winding street. There is always something...

Buying Commercial Real Estate Online

Once upon a time (ten years ago), investors looking for investment properties with attractive cap rates (rate of return), blue-chip tenants and triple-net leases (the tenant pays virtually all operating expenses), had to rely on word-of-mouth, out-of-state brokers, trade publications, or specialty research firms. If you were buying for your own account, as opposed to looking for a REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust), there were no central clearing houses with decent inventories of properties. Sometimes, when you got a lead, you jumped on a plane.

What a difference a decade makes. According...

Activist Gets Capitol Forum

Ed Grothus doesn't really need a special forum for speaking his mind. He's been doing it for almost 39 years, since he left his job as a machinist with Los Alamos National Laboratory and began speaking out against nuclear proliferation and selling the lab's throwaways at the store he calls the Black Hole.

During that time, he often found himself in the national news, whether it was for accidentally finding a book with the signatures of 47 major Manhattan Project players that sold at Sotheby's for $23,000 or for getting a visit from the Secret Service after sending some "organic plutonium"...

Drawn to Pots

Julia Roberts — the artist, not the actress — has followed her own muse to the Southwest. After years in Hawaii, Australia and a long sojourn in Europe, she is now comfortably ensconced in Santa Fe and showing new works at Dorothy Rogers Fine Art, a tiny gallery in The Design Center. Roberts is especially known for her printmaking in a variety of methods, and will lecture “About Prints” Saturday afternoon at the gallery. Backed up by the 37 prints she’s showing in a current exhibition at Rogers, she’ll talk about her use of intaglio, especially through etching, aquatint, lift-ground,...

‘Serving Up Heartburn’

Almost 100 Frito pies are sold every day at the Five & Dime General Store, which celebrates its 10th anniversary Thursday.

Plenty of locals stop by the East San Francisco Street business to get their daily fix, says snack bar employee Lorraine Chavez, who has been preparing and serving the cheesy and spicy Frito Pies for a decade.

Chavez and the entire snack bar staff cook a huge pot of fresh, homemade chili made with ground beef and red Chimayo chile every morning on an electric stove in the store's small kitchen. Beans are added to the chile before three, 4-ounce ladles of the mixture...

Volunteers Help New Mothers Get Adjusted to Raising Babies

Welcoming a new baby is part joy, part work. It can also be lonely if there's no family around.

"We call ourselves the modern-day version of extended family," said Julie Peet, program director for Many Mothers, a nonprofit organization that provides help for new mothers.

And Joyce Bond, 53, knew she was going to need an extra pair of arms— or two or three— when she learned she was going to deliver triplets.

"I'm probably the oldest mom of triplets in New Mexico," said Bond, marketing manager for the city's Public Works Department, who said fertility treatments were involved in the pregnancy.

Railyard Parking Comes at a Price

Bill Hon has 904 reasons to hope a recently approved parking plan for Santa Fe's Railyard district goes off without a hitch.

Hon, the city's parking division director, has been at the center a contentious debate about how to best allocate and pay for 904 soon-to-be-available parking spaces in the burgeoning Railyard, which will feature a movie theater, commercial outlets, a commuter train stop and the city's farmers market.

Much of the uproar surrounding the Railyard parking stems from the fact the area has been touted as a community-oriented development.
