Last year for Christmas gifts I gave away little bags of pinto beans that we raised on our farm. I included a packet of Chugwater Chili seasoning and sewed cloth bags to put them in.

Only In Wyoming
A friend of ours just had a baby and lives out of town. Meals had been organized for their family and one of the meal preparers had called to say they couldn’t deliver it.
