The Aztecs used to eat chocolate all the time and they weren't fat. Everything in moderation is the key

You know, juniperb emailed me a little thing about living in the now, and enjoying chocolate when you want it...'cause no one knows what will happen tomorrow, or if tomorrow will even come!!

So juniperb...have it handy? If not I'll post it later when I get home.

I want chocolate so bad!! the thing is, I don't think it's good for me, cause if I eat too much I start to cry, well, first I get horny and then I cry. There are a lot of hormones in that stuff!

LOL...Proxie..you are totally cute. I think we should start the "All Chocolate Diet"

The Mexican / Indian culture is very big on chocolate and even use it to cook chicken, like with a Mole (pronounced Molay) sauce.

Title: Chocolate Mole
Yield: 12 Servings

Ingredients

100 g chilies anchoes
100 g chilies chipotle
100 g chilies mulato
4 tb lard
1/4 c raw sesame seeds
4 corn tortillas (6-inch
-diam); cut into 1/2-inch st
1 c finely chopped onions
1 c chopped seeded tomatoes
1/2 c chopped fresh cilantro
-(coriander)
1 bay leaf; crushed
1/2 ts ground cinnamon
1/2 ts freshly ground black pepper
1/2 ts salt
1/4 ts ground cloves
1/2 ts ground cumin
1/2 ts cayenne pepper
1/2 ts oregano
4 oz bittersweet chocolate;
-chopped
3 1/2 c chicken stock
1/2 c cashews; toasted and chopped

Instructions

Chocolate Mole, Courtesy of my wife, Sara.

Cover all the chilies and soak for 30 minutes. Reserve 1/3 cup (3 fl oz/80
ml) of the soaking water. Stem and seed the chilies

In a medium skillet, heat 1 tblspn of the lard over medium heat. Fry the
chilies for 30 seconds on each side. Remove the chilies from the skillet
and add the sesame seeds; stir until toasted lightly, about 1 minute.
Remove the sesame seeds from the skillet and set aside. Add 1 tblspn of
lard to the skillet and, when hot, add the tortilla strips; fry until soft,
about 2 minutes.

Place the chilies, sesame seeds, tortilla strips and reserved soaking water
in a blender and puree to a paste; set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tblspns lard over med-high heat;
saute the onions until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and
cilantro and cook for 2 minutes. Add the bay leaf, cinnamon, pepper, salt,
cloves, cumin, cayenne and oregano and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes, or
until well blended. Add the chopped chocolate and continue cooking and
stirring until the chocolate is melted, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken
stock and cashews and bring to a boil. Add the pureed chili mixture and
stir well. Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for
15-20 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and the flavors have blended.
Serve with grilled pork tenderloin, duck breasts, chicken or turkey.


Then wash it down with some Kahlua and hot cocoa.
