Here I am consumed by the idea of actually putting my first meal together and I can't possibly imagine where to begin. Should I have a theme? Should start with the basics? Naw, too easy. Should it be spicy or not spicy....oh heck...who knows, maybe I'll start with something fun and totally different. Afterall I do want to force myself into making some of those recipes I've been meaning to make for years. If you're out there and reading this, give me some feedback. What do you think?
I was thinking along the lines of a fresh mole recipe I've been wanting to make for years. I've read this takes hours, but what gooood Mexican dish, made completely from scratch doesn't. I'm up for the challenge. I know a lot of people aren't crazy about mole. It's a combination of red chili sauce, dark chocolate, sesame seeds and peanut butter and or peanuts and blended into a perfect sauce called mole...this is then mixed with beautiful cuts of chicken and simmered together for a few hours. I've found when you let it sit in the fridge for a few days and then reheat it, the flavors come together so much better.
So there you have it, in light of Valentine's Day this month I think I've convinced myself to give it a try. I have made mole many times, but I've always taken the easy way out. This time I will make it from scratch....ohhh boy....I better start playing with some ingredient combinations to come up with the best concoction....
The date to be determined later.
