Sensual cooking with Grass Snake and friends

This time of year I find myself cooking more and need a place to show off my stuff. This thread will be dedicated to all my cooking escapades but others are welcome to join in and share their cooking as well. Not much going on since the pizza TD, but I gotta say the wheelbarrow is growing on me. I have plans on constructing a pizza oven down the road so stay tuned. For now, no more pizza on the wheelbarrow.

Chicken Mole my wife made using sun-dried Hatch Chiles. This mole came out a little brighter and sweeter than usual. The mole is usually darker and has a little bit more of a smokey profile using the regular store bought peppers. This is probably due to the different drying methods of the peppers. Her mole comes out great using either one.

My complements to Ms. Snake. Looks delicious!
 
Decided to try my hand at Nixtamalization using ashes to make corn tortillas. You can see the transformation of the corn from start to finish in the pics below. If you haven’t heard of Nixtamalization, it’s an ancient technique for preparing maiz.
