dudes! i just went to a *mole* tasting contest. yeah, you got it right. mole, the chocolatey, spicey, full of 30+ ingedients often. this was part of the dia de los muertos festival that the mission cultural center has been putting on. i did some childcare at la colectiva de mujeres to help jill out and as my first real childcare collective experience and then she and a bunch of the women she organizes with headed over to the cultural center cuz some of the colectiva members entered the contest. (and one won! third prize!)
context: i first had real experiences with mole when sara and i were living in la paz and there was this incredible, fancy restaurant that we'd treat ourselves to every once in a while and we always got mole there. and it fucken made me wanna lie on the floor and cry it was so good.
now imagine 11 different vats of all different kinds of mole with different chocolate bases and combinations. and you have to taste all of them and decide which one is the best?!?!? again, i wanted to lie on the floor and cry. but really there were too many people there so i didn't. but in my heart dear friends, in my heart..
i'm in fucken heaven. heaven. mole. yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
oh and did i mention that i have 4 crushes. yup, count 'em. 4. oh what a day :)
