My wife Helen makes black bean soup and when she serves it up, she adds
about a tablespoon of her own habanero infused rum. Damn is that good on
a cold day (or any day for that matter).
I like the idea of the hab garnish at the end. Not only for the added
heat, but for the looks as well. It sure would make a nice presentation.
