We stopped in at the Gluten-Free Bakery
Where Thing Two could pick what ever he wanted!

Stopped in at the Fruit Stand and got STRAWBERRIES!

Flea Market where we picked up some flavored honey sticks.
We also, stopped at the duck pond
and lastly, ended up at the White Lime for some frozen yougurt!
Such a nice afternoon with two of my favorite people.

Porch Life

What's in the Pot?

Pork, Pineapple, Red Mole Tamale!
We call them the Islander Tamale.

Jalapeno, cheese with Green Mole'
We call these HOT!

Yep, They turned out GOOD!

Now What did I Make?

Green chilies, tomatillas, onions, garlic, cilantro.

Cumin, coriander, sesame seeds

Blend together.

Again toast the sesame seeds in olive oil;
Grind to a paste.

Then simmer all together in a pot!
And what do you got?
Green Mole'!

Now what will I do?

What am I Making?

Here are the ingredients I am using.

First I put the dried chilies in a pot of water,
And bring them to a boil...

Add onion and garlic,
continue boiling.

Remove stems and some seeds
then blend it together.

Put back on stove, simmer.

In the meantime, in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil,
toast a package of sesame seeds and a pinch of cumin seeds.

Grind the toasted seeds in a metate until it is a paste.
(Or you may use 2 Tablespoons of peanut butter)
Add to pot and continue to simmer.

Lastly, add the secret ingredient!
Make sure the chocolate is at least 75% cocao.
90% is the best. Add 1/2 package until it melts in the red MOLE.
Yep, I made a mole sauce.
What do you think I will do with it?
