freedom from recipes, and power to be inspired, create, and substitute!

For those who just can't follow recipes....for those who are just inspired by ingredients, places, and delicious design...and most importantly for those who need more creativity in their life....This blog harkens back to the days before recipes were much more like musings, and narratives of creating environments and expressions of culture. We aim to inspire, not to instruct. This blog is a record of experiments, successful and unsuccessful, and any contributions from others who share the dare.....

mole!

a quick photo essay to show some of the work that went into mole-making!  full disclosure: elizabeth and anne followed a recipe!!  this is truly an exceptional sauce, and it should be noted that it does not take as much time as we had feared--now that we've conquered the master recipe, i think we can freestyle it from here!
three different types of chiles....they all look the same

beautiful, fragrant and ready to be toasted

pumpkin seeds toasting, get ground up with almonds, cinnamon,  

chiles, after being shredded,  toasting

tomatillos toasting/browning

in pot with broth, tomatoes, simmer

blend to a smooth creamy texture in batches

and the chocolate!!! YUM.
