I have really been enjoying the local green beans here in our new town. We bought some from Whole Foods and gobbled them up in one night! So yesterday I went to Shaw’s and bought some more. They are sitting in the fridge, calling my name…

Growing up, my mom had a great big garden (she still does have a great big garden, actually). One of the many gardening jobs we kids had was to pick and clean the green beans. I used to dread that job, but now I wish I had green bean plants of our own! Our townhouse has a community garden, so maybe next summer I will plant some. In the meantime, I hope to check out the local farmer’s market this Saturday. I am sure that they will have some green beans there, along with plenty of other fresh produce!
