Halloween Pumpkin and Black Bean Chili

I've been looking forward to this week for quite some time.  One of my good friends from college is getting married over the weekend.  I haven't seen her in a while and am hoping to be able to hang out with her a little bit before the wedding. (As much as you really can during…
