Review of Women's Bean Project Firehouse #10 Hot Chili

We tried this for the first time this week. I made it in my crock pot, even though that isn't how the directions read. It worked out great. We had it with sour cream and onions one night, in a baked potato another night and tonight mixed with whole wheat pasta. Yummy! Women's bean project is a worthwhile cause, too!!

Product Description
The spicy combination of chipotle and crushed red pepper give this three-bean chili quite a kick. Named after our bilding, the old Denver Fire Department Firehouse #10.

Review of Women's Bean Project Lovingly Handmade Small Gourmet Basket

I bought this basket as a gift. The receivers loved the presentation, the products, the idea behind the Project, and especially the personal touches, as the names and stories of the women who had contributed to it. I had omitted a card to go with it, and so my friends didn't know who had sent it. My fault. They called the company, but they were not able to find who the sender was, even with the order number. Maybe Amazon keeps the name of the customer? Or they don't have a good data base? Eventually, I asked these friends if they had gotten the present, and we had a good laugh over my absent mind! So, order the products, but don't forget to include a card if it's for a gift!
