NOTES : Beans can be pinto, red, pink, kidney. Black beans also work well
Green Chilis are optional. Use Jalapanos if there are chili heads to be fed.
Cheese can be cheddar, colby, jack, etc. Fetta works well as does mixed
cheeses.
Vinegar amount can vary from 1 to 4 tablespoons depending on the amount of
chili
Tobasco and chili powder are optional (for not-chili-heads)
I like a chipolte chili or two in this for heat and flavor
Author noted that family thought there was something wrong with the flavor of
the dip, but could not identify it until the dip was gone — and what was wrong
was the dip was gone.

Several sources note that the gas production (flatulance) can be substantially
reduced by soaking the beans for a few hours and then draining off the water,
repeating this process 2-3 times. The sacrides removed in the soaking and
draining will change the nutrition or taste, but will reduce the gas.

From: Annice Grinberg

This is extremely light and refreshing. From a small amount of ingredients,
you get an enormous amount of freeze. Caution: the stuff splatters like
crazy while you are beating it up. You might want to cover your mixer with
a towel or something during the process. Also, be sure to use a large bowl.

LIGHT STRAWBERRY FREEZE

1 egg white
1/2 cup powdered (icing) sugar
1 pint very ripe strawberries
1/2 t vanilla

Beat egg white till frothy. Beat in sugar. Add vanilla and stawberries, and
beat at high speed until light and greatly expanded. Freeze.

Best used within a few days, as the texture changes after that.
