#bean dip

While sitting in the waiting room of my mother-in-law’s pain specialist for an unfortunately long time a couple of days ago, my brother-in-law and I were chatting about food to try to distract her. He had just brought me a nice surprise of various cuts of venison, and from venison, we started reminiscing about family recipes and they were trying to tell me from memory the ingredients of the bean dip that my brother-in-law still makes for family events.

Based on what they told me I found a recipe online that seemed similar. I used homemade refried beans that I had in the freezer from my last big pot, homemade Los Barrios salsa (a restaurant my mother-in-law loves from “back home”), and instead of the green chilis, I used some super spicy jalapeños that our niece and her husband grew and then pickled. I also didn’t use a slow cooker, but just mixed and heated it altogether on the stove.

Reference to Columbus would likely be a no-go these days. Am curious that that the dropping of a year market leads to a stray "Happy" command.
