Ok mit me :-) Did you use the Zarela recipe from The Cooking of
Oaxaca?

Why, no problem, as far as I am concerned, except I do not see how I
contributed anything of use to you. I posted a recipe from _Food from
my Heart_ by Zarela Martínez. I have now looked up your whole mole
affair and I see that you used the Kay Hartman recipe Tammy posted. I
have looked up Kay's original post and I see that it, too, was a Zarela
Martínez recipe, but from a different book. The recipes, while very
similar indeed of course, are not identical.

Also I notice that Tammy, to her eternal shame, omitted some some very
pertinent comments by Kay, for example, those referring to the chiles
used and the source where one can obtain them in California.

I posted what I found on google. If I omitted something, it was done
unwittingly.

Unwittingly! Ha! It was a deliberate, vicious, evil attempt to mislead
and deceive, as is always your wont! Here is the link you posted
yourself:

Oh, no, I'm so sorry to hear that. What a shame. I'm
happy you had him so long and have the memories.

Sorry, I'm humor-impaired today. I had to put down my nearly 20-year
old kitty yesterday. Norman Bates, RIP :-(

I'll get my sense of humor back in time.

Oh, the polydactyl one... :-( My condolences, Tammy. At least you can
take those locks off your refrigerator now...

He was a cat among felines. You, Sadie, Fiona, and the puppies have my condolences.

Oh my god, you remembered. I was reminiscing about Norman with my
former roommate (and life-long best friend who lived with me through
the early Norman years) last night. I told her that Norman was in a
better place, a place where he had unfettered access to both
refrigerators and cupboards .... where no one would scold him for
breaking into a package of pasta or a bag or beans ... where there
were no inferior canine beings befouling his pleasure palace ... and
where humans knew their places which of course, were only to serve
Him. :-)

I haven't had to put rubber bands on my kitchen cupboards for a long
time now, and with the purchase of a new refrigerator a few years
back, Normie couldn't poach from it a roast or a heart-shaped marble
cheesecake baked for friends' anniversary (not that I'm keeping track.
No, seriously....). He just got too old. But even to the last day,
he tried to snag a tomato off the kitchen counter. It warmed my
heart.

He was Normando the Gourmando to the very end.

Damn, I loved that cat!

Thanks for remembering, Victor.

TammyM, still tearful

Oh, Tammy.... I know how hard that can be. I grieved for years over
one pet. They *are* just like family!

I also noticed the recipes are similar.
I appreciate the fact that you took the time to post such a lengthy
and complicated recipe. That is my reason for mentioning you.

I think Tammy needs to redeem herself by getting her neighbor's tamale
recipe.

I am so, so, so sorry! Take heart in knowing that you gave that kitty
a very long and wonderful life.

Heartfelt condolences from one cat lover to another ....

I'm very sorry for your loss. Norman sounds like the one and only
Roscoe, who died at age 17. Roscoe was the world's surliest cat, with a
voice to match. I used to have his yowl as a warning sound on my office
Mac. It took me several days to tell my coworkers about his death--it
was too painful to talk about.

OB Food: Dinner tonight was pretty low-effort. Slab-o-sirloin on the
grill, with sides of barley, broccoli, and garnish of tomato and red
pepper.

Tammy, I'm so sorry! Let's hope he's getting the satin pillow and the meals
on wheels:

St. Peter is receptionist at the entrance of Heaven. A cat shows up and St.
Peter says "I know you! You were a very nice cat on earth and didn't cause
any trouble, so I want to offer a gift to you of one special thing you have
always wanted."

Cat: "Well, I did always long to own a nice satin pillow like my master had,
so I could lie on it." St. Peter: "That's easy. Granted. You shall have the
satin pillow after you enter in."

Next, a group of mice appeared and St. Peter greeted them and said: "Ah, I
remember you. You were such good mice on earth. You didn't steal food from
anyone's house and never hurt other animals. Therefore, I want to grant you
one special wish you have always wanted."

The Chief Mouse replied, "Well, we always watched the children playing and
saw them roller skate, and it was beautiful, and it looked like so much fun.
So can we each have some roller skates, please?" St. Peter: "Granted. You
shall have your wish."

Next day, St. Peter is making the rounds inside the Gates, and sees the cat.
"Well, Cat...Did you enjoy the satin pillow?" Cat: "Oh, indeed I did. And
say...that "Meals on Wheels" thing was a nice touch, too!"
