One of my favorite meals is Chicken Mole. It brings back memories of sitting at a small kitchen table covered in a curtain as a "table cloth" watching my Abuelita stir the Mole sauce in a large pot. I still request it from my mother on my birthday. I smother the chicken and arroz a la mexicana with the sauce.

My Abuelita is having me learn how to make tamales this Christmas. She said she refuses to leave this earth without her grandaughter having the recipe. I usually help her make them but this time I will be doing the cooking. I told her I do not want to learn if this means she is leaving me! I don't think I have a choice!

Welcome to the thread little_ms_sunshyne!

What a sweet story! You are so lucky to have this chance to learn from your Abuelita. That is such a gift.

Mole is something that I have never made. Some of my friends make it so well that I have not even tried. If I want some I know where to go! My feeling is, go to the experts.

Maybe you can educate us on Mole and Tamales. That would be awesome.
I have had the savory Tamales and only once had the dulce but would love to know more about what possibilities exist.

Now I am hungry. LOL

That is going to be a side effect of this thread!

Again Welcome and I look forward to seeing you around here!
