from the Methow Valley, in eastern Warshington, (the dry side of the state ) An doubly WELCOME to the NW Pack. You might not know what that's all about, but that's OK. We're having a gathering of chileheads in September near Seattle, WA. Check this thread out, PM me if you have any questions, and once again WELCOME! http://thehotpepper.com/topic/26507-nwcf-is-almost-here-lets-talk-about-food/
