A mole' made 'from scratch' is complex but well worth the trouble. But you can get Mexican mole' sauces in jars at the grocery store in NM and here that are pretty good.

I mean I know they are easy to catch cuz they don't see so good, but who would want to eat a mole?

my roommate loves to cook from scratch... And she's a GREAT cook!

This sauce is similar to the recipe I have, but my recipe says to brown the chicken pieces and then add a tiny bit of water to the pan, cover, and cook until done. I like the browned chicken better. You can use turkey, too, but chicken's easier to work with.

Ceashell - isnt there a Pillsbury Mole Mix?

Geez, after all, you don't have to grow the chiles and nuts and cacao beans, or raise the chicken--you can buy them. What could be easier?

Happy belated birthday, Terry!

Like Water for Chocolate was a wonderful movie! I'll have to look for the book.

I think Shelly should bring some chicken mole to the tailgate...

Wonder how you explain that there's a frozen mole in your luggage?

I would think that if Air Force One can carry a little weasel from Washington to Texas all the time, they'd let me take a little mole on a commercial flight in the other direction.

Shel I want some of that from scratch mole when I get to Texas (please?)
I'll do you some bubble and squeak in return.

You're too funny!

Deal!

happy belated birthday Terrie.

That's such a coinkydink! I love to scratch while I cook! (and according to my family, i'm not a bad cook or scratcher)

now I have to take a look at shelly's holy mole recipe

I don't know about crossing a chicken with a mole, much less eating one. I am suspect of genetically engineered foods.
