Pollo Poblano Recipe
Dinner from Friday. A riff on a chicken mole, done in my trusty slow cooker. Served with saffron tinged rice. A green salad with sliced oranges, green onions and a tart orange vinaigrette rounded out the meal.

Simply (and simple!) delightful, nym! I can almost taste the chocolate melded with the orange as I sit here. This could well be tomorrow's dinner. Thanks and my five.
