🕯🕯Thanks for the invitation Oliver and I will pass the word.
Is there going to be vegitarian beans?
The event has been canceled, due to lack of black beans.
Lol 🙂
Chili is racist!
There are never any white beans in chili!
It’s also anti military…
Navy beans are not welcome either!
The only light completed bean allowed in chili is the token kidney bean, but not all the time. Only on rare occasions…
~that’s tooo funny.
