The Hunt for Beans

For my 17th birthday I requested my favorite cookies and candies from my friends. I got Hot Tamales, Nutter Butters, Jelly Belly beans, amongst other things. 20+ years later and I’m still receiving good for my birthday. My friend got me a box from Tiny Bodega. They’ve taken the concept of the corner store (you know the ones where you can only find certain must have foods and spices) and given a bigger audience to Small BIPOC Businesses. 

So far I have tried two items: Fonio Pilaf and A Dozen Cousins’ Cuban Black Beans. Both are amazing! So amazing I drove across town to find more. And yes, I could have bought them online but I’m impatient. Even my youngest who isn’t the biggest fan of beans devoured them.
