"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I have never simmered this for 6 hours! 2 or 3 seems to work for me.
Sometimes I add a can of refried beans to make it thicker, more body.
We don't care for garbanzo beans, so I use small white, pinto, or whatever I have.
