field notes from the floor & the stove

Sales floor by day,
molcajete by Sunday.

I move gadgets and solve puzzles in North Las Vegas retail, and I cook the slowest dish on earth. Turns out the two teach the same lesson.

I'm a bilingual, bicultural salesperson who turns the floor into a collaborative hub — and a home cook who specializes in mole poblano. In between I keep a Lattice of what I know: teamwork from the retail trenches, conservation stories worth telling, and the whole simmering metaphor of the many-to-one. Todo se reduce a capas — it's all about the layering.

Mole Poblano — Patience You Can Taste

A short film and the real recipe: toasted chiles, chocolate, and seeds in one pan. I can't rush it, and that's the point.
