Mole and skiing

We took rowan skiing for his second time today with his friend braden. He got new goggles that he was actual excited to be wearing! And he rode the chair lift for the first time. Then  B's parents were nice enough to watch the boys while aaron and i skied together. We swapped so they could ski too.
Before leaving to ski, aaron and i got the crock pot set up with mole so that we would have a hearty warm meal when we came home. The mole recipe:
Heat .5 c sliced almonds, .25c sesame seeds, coriander seeds, 4 whole cloves, star anise and one cinamon stick broken
Mix in a blender with one whole onion, combination of fresh and dried chile's to add up to 15. We used anchos, pasilla, anaheim, negro and new mexico chiles. One small can of diced tomatos, 5 cloves of garlic, 4 c chicken stock and one wheel (3 oz) ibarra chocolate.
We used a pork roast, but chicken works equally well. Put the meat and sauce in a crock pot set on low for 5 hours. Shred the meat and serve with queso fresco, cilantro and tortillas.
