Mole Night was Delicioso

Hi again. I know, I know, it's been awhile. I've been recovering from making the mole. The evening was a lot of fun. Eight of us cautiously tasted the mole, wondering if this concoction tasted any good. I have to admit, the recipe was amazing. Never having made mole from scratch, now having made it, I know why, it was tons of work, but ohhh so worth it. By the way it was not my recipe, but next time, I know what to change to make it my own. It was delicioso....my mouth waters at the thought of it just now. The process was a labor of love, two days to make this sauce. And yes, I did have quite a bit left, all the leftover sauce went right into the freezer. I think I'll pull some out in a couple of weeks and make some enchiladas with the salsa. It seems the lime and cilantro rice was pretty yummy too. Steve just told me tonight that it's his favorite rice. Hmmmm, note to self, keep lots of fresh cilantro available.

Seems fun was had by all...We drank, we ate, we drank, we ate and then ate some more. The tortillas still need some work. They were good while they were still warm, but the minute they cooled off the texture changed. I guess I will have to get a large bag of flour and go to work on testing my recipe. The weren't very round either...How did my grandmother do it so beautifully? I still remember her doing it with such ease. When my grandmother Jesusita passed away several years ago, my mother asked me if I wanted anything of hers and I said, "All I want is the rolling pin she used to make tortillas." So that day I pulled it out, hoping that the powers stored in it years ago would some how, miraculously help me make mouth watering tortillas like my grandmother did. Not so much...so it's back to the drawing board.

Thanks to everyone who endured my recipes and gave me good feedback. Soooooo, what's next you ask? Well, I have some family coming over two weekends this month, so I think I will test a recipe on them and see what they think. April 2 sounds good, so if anyone out there would like to come over for some homemade food on that night send me a message. Let's say 6ish....

Not sure what I'm cooking that night but will keep you posted. Family is over today so I'm cooking some of my mom's famous green enchiladas. Will post pictures later.

From my casita to yours,

Besos y sabores...
