If you're planning on attending the Chicagoland Bend the Rules tourney and holiday party on December 17th, please vote on the main dish for the night. There will be plenty of veggies, chips, salsas, crackers and cheeses to be had besides the main dish. If you vote "other" please suggest something that I can set and forget (preferably in the slow cooker) since I have to do the Period of Review before the tourney starts at noon.

Mole is great. It's real popular out here in Los Angeles.

It is indeed delicious. The chocolate isn’t sweet. It mostly gives the dish a real richness.

The mole chicken tacos have chicken thighs, onion, bell pepper, chili powder, cumin, cocoa powder (mostly because I always forget to buy Mexican chocolate), tomatoes and probably a couple of other ingredients I’m forgetting.

Stop. Please stop. I'm not coming to Chicago and you are making me regret that, merely for the food alone haha

Hey, the House of Dax is open to all. Spouses and spawn are welcome as well. We’re playing 2E that day, so you’ll probably need to borrow a deck.

The pulled pork is *ahem* pulling away. Can anyone stop the dominance of the pork shoulder?

I just purchased a whole hog from my aunt's brother-in-law, and it came with some lovely shoulder roasts. :drool:

Great to see a shot of the Chicago crew - it's been awhile since I've seen you guys!

Glad the event was a success and that cans were donated by all. Good times! :cheersL:
