I made this recipe tonight with one of the pheasants Jim brought home in February. I substituted a frozen roasted green chile from last fall’s Farmer’s Market for the can of green chiles. I also used more chicken broth – about 5 cans worth, to get enough broth to reasonably cover the pheasant in my big stockpot.

We have a great view of what’s left of the lake, given the drought, and Jim has his choice of two TV channels and no remote. How on earth is he supposed to get better?...
