Hi, Mrs. H.,
Thank you for the daily inspiration from Proverbs.
This recipe is very similar to one that we enjoy almost weekly, except we use black beans.
Happy weekend!

Here's a note I got from a friend about your blog:
"I don't think I told you that I went to one of the blogs mentioned on your website and found a recipe for a brisket. We tried it last weekend and it was yummy. What caught my eye is the mention of chocolate/peanut butter parfaits."
Thanks again!
