No. Not the animal. The name is pronounced Moh-Lay. This is kind of like a curry.
Ingredients
-A can/glass/container of mole (there are different varieties. Mild, spicy, green, red... My favorite is the red mole, mild or spicy). You can find these at a Spanish store like Cardenas, Northgate, Superior.
-Chicken leg quarters or Chicken drumsticks
-Water
-Knorr (Chicken Broth)
Materials Needed
Two Pots (One large, One medium)
Blender
Directions
First, you want to get a large pot of water boiling. Add some knorr (chicken flavor). You want to taste it so that it is just over the bland taste. To the point where you question whether you should add more salt, but it is still sufficient. Then you want to wash the chicken. You can peel off the skin if you want, or buy it without skin. After that, put the chicken into the water (boiling or not) and bring it to a boil. You want the chicken to be cooked thoroughly. You can check the internal temperature of the chicken if you'd like, but what I do is I poke the chicken to the bone. If it bleeds, it still needs more cook time. If not, your chicken is ready.
In the blender, you want to add some of the chicken broth to the blender (about one to one and a half mole container worth). Any excess chicken water/broth you want to pour out. Add the mole and blend. You want this to be a consistency of spaghetti sauce to tomato soup. Then you want to transfer it to a pot and boil it. After it boils you want to put this sauce into the pot with the chicken. Let it simmer for a while and you are done. You can serve this over rice, or eat it with bread, or eat it with tortillas. It is all up to you!

Easy to find; easy to make recipes - Spaghetti
Ingerdients:
Barilla Spaghetti
Prego Sauce (can be any that you like)
Salt
Olive oil
Cooking oil
Garlic
Onion (white or brown)
Mushroom (precut or whole)
Ground beef (1/2 lb)
Optional: Meatballs
Supplies:
2 Pans (one for spaghetti, one for sauce)
Knife for cutting
Cutting board
Cooking spoon (wooden or anything that won't transfer heat)
Preparation and Cooking
Bring a pot of water to boil for the spaghetti. Add about a teaspoon of olive oil and a little dash of salt (this is going to be thrown away after the spaghetti cooks, so use sparingly. While the water is coming to a boil, cut mushrooms in slices (like pizza topping). After, cut the onion (minced). An easy way to do this is to cut slices (like a checkerboard) but don't cut all the way through, just about half way through the onion. After that, you can slice the other way, and you will have minced onions every time you slice. (video to come).
Mince the garlic (about 1 tooth).
In another pot add about a tablespoon of cooking oil (I use canola or vegetable oil) and add the ground beef and cook. When the meat looks cooked, add the minced onion, the prego sauce, and the minced garlic. The fire should be about medium to medium high (you can judge this by making sure the sauce bubbles, but not violently where sauce gets everywhere.
After that, your water should be boiling. Add a teaspoon of olive oil, and some salt. This is to add flavor. I know some people say it is pointless, but I like to do it. Add the spaghetti. Cook according to box directions. Drain and rinse spaghetti after cooking.
After that, turn off the fire from any pots, serve sauce over spaghetti, add some cheese on top (optional) and enjoy!

Heroes of Newerth - Is it free?
Looking at my analysis of website usage, I see that people are concerned if Heroes of Newerth (HoN) is free. Well, how do I break this news to you...No.
It used to be free when it was in beta, but now that it is not and it is now a released version, it is not free. You can buy the released version for $30.00 and play it for life (there is no monthly service charge. Once you buy it, it is yours to play forever (like starcraft, diablo, or warcraft III (not World of Warcraft))).
BUT!!!!
Every now and then, S2 gives out free days, weeks, weekends. Make sure you sign up with them here and download a free copy (not playable until you pay, or there is a free week). They will send emails informing you about free days.

New Traffic Law
Apparently, there is a new traffic law that requires drivers to move over when there is an emergency vehicle on the side.
It's common sense and all drivers should know that when driving and you see an emergency vehicle, pull over to the side (right side). Now a new rule:
If you see a cop car, paramedic, fire fighter, etc to the side (right side), drivers need to move over to the left to give the emergency vehicles space. This prevents cops or pulled over vehicles from getting hurt or damaged. If moving over is not possible, the driver needs to slow down to 20 miles per hour below the posted speed limit.
This used to be common courtesy, but now it is mandatory. If not, you can get a $50.00 fine.

Haiti Relief Fund
From Salvation Army
Dear Caring Friend,
You may not know this, but The Salvation Army has worked in Haiti for 60 years, running schools, children’s homes, hospitals, and nutrition programs, and providing many other important services.
After last week’s devastating earthquake, our work in this impoverished country has never been needed more.
Thanks to generous friends like you, The Salvation Army has already leapt into action to provide life-saving care and God’s comfort for earthquake survivors.
Currently, we’re getting ready to rush more than 44,000 pounds of emergency food rations to people in the worst-hit areas. We’re also working to deliver safe drinking water – critical to helping prevent the spread of disease after a disaster like this. With most hospitals destroyed, medical care is going to be a top priority, too.
I’d like to offer you the opportunity to help us. Your gifts to the Army have always been used in your community. But today, I urge you to look beyond San Diego to our suffering brothers and sisters in Haiti. This truly is their darkest hour. Your love will remind them they are not alone, no matter how great their pain.
Please visit www.sandiego.salvationarmy.org to give a gift today. Your kindness will be a part of our every effort. Your kindness will SAVE LIVES.
Thank you for doing all you can.
And please, keep the people of Haiti in your prayers during this time of overwhelming grief.
God bless you,
Major Linda Markiewicz
