(Ann is going to cut down on the cinnamon next time but I didn’t think it was too much at all) Blend. Bring to boil, uncovered, for an hour. 4. taste for sea- soning, add more chili powder if you like (in my opinion, you can add more of ANYTHING if you like) 5. Stir in the garlic, corn- meal, and beans. Simmer for 10 minutes. Serve with garnishes (I usually serve rice
