Lemon vanilla crinkle cookies
The recipe, that I found on reddit can be viewed here. There isn't much to add to the recipe; I might have measured the butter wrong or something, but I had to refridgerate the dough before dividing just to have it stiffen up and make it more manageable.
Pork loin in fruit mole
In a previous post I commented about the moles we brought back from our trip to Ensenada. This is one of the possible presentations for the most unknown of them: the fruit mole. Well, after a bit of investigation my suspicions were true and it does go well with pork meat, hence the loins. What follows here is a pictorial of how we prepared and presented the dish accompanied by red rice and corn tortillas.

Seared post-cooking,a.k.a. reverse sear
As if it were some illegal substance, the mole! (powder form)
According to my brother, it takes a 2:1 ratio of tomato sauce to mole powder to reach a nice pastey consistency to which you add the stock
On the pan, tomato sauce + mole powder
After mixing and adding some pork stock to get a pleasant texture
Plated
Oh yeah!, the sesame seeds!
Lomo de puerco con mole de frutas
En un post anterior comenté acerca de los moles con los que nos mandaron de Ensenada, esta es una posible presentación del más desconocido de ellos, el mole de frutas. Bueno, un poco de investigación en el tema dice que si, mi sospecha era correcta y va con carne de puerco. Aquí presento algunas de las fotos de como lo preparamos en casa, acompañado de arroz rojo y tortillas de maíz.

Como si fuera sustancia ilegal: el mole! (en polvo)
Según mi hermano, se requiere de una proporción de 2:1 de salsa de tomate:polvo para lograr una pasta adecuada
En el sartén, la salsa de tomate + el mole en polvo
Después de revolver y agregarle caldo de puerco hasta lograr una textura agradable

Ah si! las semillas de ajonjolí!
Moles
In our most recent trip to Ensenada, not only did we get to taste some of the best things the city has to offer, but we also left with our bundles of food, not unlike my grandma would have forced upon us. This time it was mole, and by mole I mean 4 varieties: from Puebla and Oaxaca, a pipián and a new-to-me variety made with fruits.
