Cooking class

I am really enjoying my cooking class.  It's every Wednesday.  And, in all honesty, it's pretty fool proof.  We mostly just cut up vegetables and do whatever the chefs tell us to.  All the hard things are cooked in advance and all the measuring and preparing is done in advance to.  We're pretty well watched over, so there's really no way we could mess up the food.  But, I am still enjoying it a lot.  Last week we made quesadillas, sopa poblana, and pico de gallo.  It was delicious.  This past week we made chicken with mole, Mexican rice, and chalupas.  It was extremely tasty. 

Chalupas!!!  Very delicious.  It's a tortilla fried in pork fat with salsa, onion, and pork.

Chicken with mole sauce.  Mole is a specialty of Puebla.  I can't remember everything it's made of but the one ingredient that stands out is the chocolate.  It's spicy, not sweet.  It's really good.

Everything else is going well.  I got my Mexican driver's license this past week!  And all my paperwork is finished!  Now we just have to finish putting the apartment together.  Pancho has been busy, mostly with getting all my immigration papers taken care of.  Now that that is done we can focus on the apartment and he's working on putting together a proposal for a perspective job.  It has been busy here, but we're feeling good, especially because the important paperwork is over.
