a dollop of her NM style hot green chili

Lots of Okies and other Southerners in Chicago. I grew up just over the Indiana line outside of Chicago.

I was a transplant there for fourteen winters, but the wife's fam is Irish Catholic. Not sure where she picked up on the tradition.

When we have some available, we add a dollop of her NM style hot green chili, a habit picked up in our Santa Fe years. Spices up the luck.
