Letter
February is the first issue of 2017 for Local Flavor (we joyfully take one month off each year to celebrate, hibernate and rejuvenate)––so the magazine you have in hand is meant to set the tone for the entire year. And the tone, the intention of this year is
Sweet Celebrations Romantic fireside dining all season VALENTINE’S DAY DINNER Tuesday, February 14th $125.00/couple for an extraordinary three-course dinner RESTAURANT WEEK February 19th – 26th Three-course meal specials: Just $35 for dinner or $20 for lunch COUPLES MASSAGES Couples Massage with Gruet Sparkling Wine and keepsake rose quartz chakra heart 50/80 minutes: $270/$370 Locals get 20% off! For reservations, call 505-986-0000 or visit opentable.com
to bring you stories of the ordinary and not-so-ordinary people who are living their lives to the fullest and redefining what it means to live in this enchanted place we call home––especially in these times. The spunky young man on our cover, Ehren Kee Natay is an enormously talented composer, singer, drummer, dancer, painter, muralist and jewelrymaker digging into the creative feast that defines and inspires him. But the fact that truly resonated with us was that no matter the medium, his purpose is always to bring people together. He is the exuberant face and voice of a new generation, and for us this month he is the face and voice of Local Flavor. If the chill vibe and sound of smooth jazz is more your style… meet the cast of characters who joyfully hit the airwaves each day at The Oasis. Based in Albuquerque and broadcasting on 103.7 (95.9 in Santa Fe), The Oasis carries on the spirit of what it truly means to be independent and local in a corporate dominated media. Happy 5th Anniversary to this great radio station! There’s always plenty happening on the restaurant scene––Chef Rocky Durham settling in at the stunning Blue Heron Restaurant at Sunrise Springs is a dream come true for Rocky fans––the setting alone is worth the drive. Great dessert recipes from three of Albuquerque’s top pastry chefs remind us that the way to your lover’s heart is teasing the sweet tooth. And the Chef 2 Chef series continues with an unforgettable interview with Santacafé’s executive chef, Fernando Ruiz. I would like to close with heartfelt wishes for friend and writer Emily Ruch on her marriage. The sweet irony is that Emily penned the essay “Lunar Love” this month. Perchance they were under the celestial spell of Febuary’s Snow Moon....
