Carlo, I’m so upset with you. Canned beans AND ground beef in CHILI? What are you thinking man, what are you thinking?

I’ll have to figure out a way of getting a sampling of my next batch of zoo chili to you. It might take a while, because at the moment between the field and the jelly/jam/preserve pot, I’m kinda busy :)
