We had barely enough of the ingredients, about 40 minutes to make it, and none of these advanced mole making ovens.

But, we perservered, and threw one thing after another into the blender - jalapenos, cloves, cinammon, two pieces of toast, chocolate... We liquified it all and threw it into a standard pot.

It actually turned out like the store bought stuff.

The moral of this story - with enough perserverance and will-power you don't even need to follow a recipe, the food just magically transforms in your pot into what you want.

that sounds so exciting! i've heard about mole ever since my first year of spanish in 8th grade, so eventually i'll have to get around to it; it sounds amazing.
