Would a little scoop be good on an egg taco? Heck yeah. And with some of the goat horn and yellow serrano pickled in the fridge with salt, vinegar, lime simple syrup (they’re in the beans too cooked but not fresh - I was worried I was overdoing the heat). Wonderful bit of heat and acid.

ah, got a good bit of the Rancho Gordo oregano in here too. Overall a stellar pot of beans.

Loving the results from baking them in the dutch oven instead of a pot on the stovetop too. Presoaked for like 4 hours and then probably another 4-5 in the oven with water added a couple times.

I guess you could also call this a rum gimlet but I think the lime oils remind me a lot of ti punch.

Picked this up a while back and finally got around to getting a display case. It is awesome. The post it sits on is magnetic and there’s a small metal plate added to the bottom. Turned out really nice. Thanks @dimension20.bsky.social for the opportunity to donate to some great causes!

oh right, half a large red sweet onion diced in there too

I used about half the beans and most of the cooking liquid in the chili. The other half I rinsed and added to fresh cherry tomatoes, diced sweet red onion, and several types of diced fresh peppers. With a cumin lime vinaigrette. I’ll post pictures tomorrow. Chili salad.

Copalli rum cacao would also be fantastic here. You want good flavors without artificial tastes and over sweetness. So not Malibu for example. And be careful with the orgeat choice.
