I'll be watching for replies on this one, thanks. Two of those rascal
jars wandered into my pantry some time ago where they simply take up
space, so far.

It's great product and an excellent alternative to the traditional recipe.

Tortillas anyone?

Mmmwwaahh! Thanks, Dee. I'm thinking some rice and beans to
accompany, maybe?

Rice and beans good.

Rice & Squash flowers better.

Don't forget the flan. :-)

Not at all. That's pretty much what mole is for, stewing/simmering
poultry in. A good homemade mole is soooo much better than the
off-the-shelf stuff, but it's so damn labor intensive, it's no shame
to buy pre-made. If you wanna go thru the pain, my nemesis, Rick the
Dick Bayless has a killer ricipe in his cookbook, One Rip-Off Plate At
a Time.

I made two kinds of chicken enchiladas yesterday, accompanied by beans
and rice. I discovered yesterday that I prefer the "no name" store
brand of refried beans over the name brand because no name has
discernable pieces of beans in it and the brand name is just pureed
mush. The rice was something I'd bought in the bulk bin called
"saffron" rice which stayed a nice yellow color after cooking.

A couple (okay, one) recipe I found online had the sauce simply being
poured over baked chicken and garnished with sesame seeds and sliced
almonds. Thanks. I've done this before but it's been a while and I
told you my brain is turning to Cream of Wheat. I'm sure Doña Maria
and I will do well together.

Just don't call it "authentic". (And pay more attention while you shop.)

Yeah, that was pretty strange. I use the same eyeglasses for drinking
that I do for eating!

Picks, I just sent you some pictures of my WIP. We'll be eating in
about 10 and I'll send one of my plate to you, too. :-)

It's good. I just googled it and found out it's owned by Hormel
now. Here's the page that tells you
all about the different kinds and what they are used for.

Many of the Mexican ladies around here do that. A real full-scale mole
takes a lot of ingredients and a lot of time to prepare it properly. It
isn't everyday food for most of the families around here.

It was very good. Spiciness was just right. Extra sauce that the meat
simmered in will mingle with some leftover Costco rotis chicken over
rice later in the week, perhaps.

Extra sauce that was not cooked with the chicken is in a freezer bag for
another time. I think I'll write a reminder on my calendar to make it
in another 6 weeks or so.

Can't one augment the jarred version? I am just not into
puttering so much now.
