Umami's friend, Patti, is the most incredibly
conscious person he knows. Always fighting the good fight, it shows even in her choices for Christmas presents. For example, Firehouse #10 Hot Chili Mix from the Women's Bean Project.
The
Women's Bean Project describes itself as a "social enterprise that teaches job readiness skills through gourmet food manufacturing while also providing support services and life skills to overcome barriers to employment." Check the full story
here. They make a variety of
food mixes and, interestingly, handmade,
limited edition jewelry.

Beans for the Firehouse #10 Chili . . . pretty!
|
The Firehouse #10 chili is actually somewhat spicy (but Umami still adds Tabasco). It was interesting because the beans come dry and you have to reconstitute them overnight in water. Even at that, they are still considerably firmer that canned beans.

| Chili with Turkey (and sans Green Pepper and Garlic) |
The recipe actually calls for green pepper and garlic, which Umami didn't have around and was too lazy to go get, but it turned out pretty well all the same. Umami recommends it (the mixes, and the project)!
