If you live life on the edge, like we do, then you'll probably just got a text, phone call or email inviting you to a Superbowl Party. If you cook at home quite a bit, I'll bet you have nearly everything you need for this, if not, I'll bet your corner bodega has the rest. For us, football only recently has had meaning in life. Sorry to all the long-time fans & a healthy, 'you really are missing out' for our friends that are grumpalumps about football.

Friday Night Lights the TV show is partly to blame for our new found interest. Super bowl parties come down to a few things, that for us, parallel pretty well with the meaning of life. Sharing good times, heartbreak in upset, joy in success, tasty food, and all in the company of friends. The game doesn't make or break it, but it takes a lot of bullshit out of pretenses for getting together.

2 Thai Bird Chilis, whole
1 1/2 Cups Jacob's Cattle, Dried Bean
1 Cup Pink Beans
12 g Salt
1tsp Cumin
Water

First, pick through the beans real quick, best accomplished on a wide surface (sheet pan) and then rinse them well. Then, combine ( yes salt included) and cook until very tender. No soaking method, cover with twice as much water as beans ( at least) and put it all on high and reduce to simmer once up. Cooks for about 1 1/2 hours, depending on your beans ( don't blame me for your old goods; ).
Puree beans reserve cooking liquid. add as needed to desired consistency. I use all of it.

Season/ Finish with:
Juice of 5 Limes
Juice of 1 Lemon
1 tsp Paprika
1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 Serrano Chili w/ seeds, minced to paste ( knife skills yo)
2Tbsps Olive Oil ( or Fat of your dreams, maybe excluding butter

Make it Purty:
Cilantro, Fine mince, sprinkle over dip & serve cold
Or top with the herb or spice of your choice. Smoked pimento is nice.
