Beans! Beans! Good for the heart...
After I walk Tasha this morning, I'm going to take a load of stuff to the déchetterie (dump and recycle center). We're trying to get rid of a lot of junk and clutter this summer. Ken made a run to the Emmaüs charity shop yesterday, so we've made a good start. We've accumulated a lot of stuff over seventeen years, and it's amazing how much we haven't touched in all that time. I still had suits from when I was working that never got unpacked after the move. And who convinced us that pleated pants for men was a good idea?
The take away lesson from this is when I retire in 36 months and 7 days (not that I am counting or anything) I should toss the office clothes.
ReplyDeleteThey're beautiful. I was so disappointed to learn the purple ones turn green when they're cooked. I'd eat them raw.
ReplyDeleteHa! I agree, Mitchell!
DeleteBah, there are so many green beans, purple seem like a nice distraction! I agree, Mitchel and Judith!
DeleteLOL Mitchell!
ReplyDeleteThe purple ones are really good raw, and do indeed turn green when cooked.
ReplyDeleteWhat a colorful photo! Yes, eat the purple beans raw.
ReplyDeleteAll the charity thrift stores here are being inundated with donations as I’m sure they are everywhere.
purple string beans - who knew!
ReplyDeleteI see you are following dr. spo's advice to clean out now.
travel, well, maybe not all of them!
ReplyDeletemitch, they turned green, but it was a rich deep green, not vibrant like the others.
judy, evely, chris, bettyann, we did eat a few raw just to taste them (no real difference) but then cooked the rest.
anne marie, it's a good idea. I keep thinking that one of us may be faced with being alone in the future and it would be a huge and difficult job to do alone.
how lovely!
ReplyDeleteI used to grow purple beans; always good for supper invite.
