Chicken Mole

The weather is turning cooler, so we are using the crock pot more. I have made a basic French soup pot roast a few times and it's turned out OK. I'm not a big fan of wet meat, so I have to find that fine balance between roast and stew.
Yesterday I decided to venture out to a new recipe, Chicken Mole. Wayne tried to make it once and it was so spicy that it burned our eyes and nose while cooking and we never tasted it. My version was a safe recipe, and it was decent, but certainly nothing to win an award.
In the past, I never liked cooking much. I just thought of it as a means to an end. But, the more I experiment beyond shake-n-bake and frozen veggies, the more I enjoy the process.
Maybe someday I'll even be remembered for my perfect Chicken Mole.
