Question about green beans

diesel and dust

Posted 2:24 pm, 04/17/2013

There is a variety of bush bean called "Derby" that is stringless. I grew them last year and I was impressed. They were prolific in production of beans in excess of 8 inches long. They freeze very well and are excellent for canning. They retain their bright green color when cooking and have a firm texture. (Not mushy like other cultivars of green beans.) As far as cooking them, I like to use ham hocks, ham pieces or ham centers for seasoning. Delicious!

yes always wash beans after you pick them and wash good then break ends off and get strings off then break my grandmas always broke 3 to 4 breaks when done breaking wash again then drain then boil in pot and put you some butter and alittle salt and some sweet sugar and thats how ive been making for years

Thanks for supper Music. It was delicious. A good meatloaf is better than a pork tenderloin anyday.

Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!

Crypt, if he doesn't stop leaving wet towels on the floor,


twist it up and snap/pop him on the bare leg/arse four or five times every time he leaves it on the floor

I prefer Garden Lettuce, onions with hot grease poured over them and, creamed potatoes, corn bread and a big glass of cold milk.

Oh, sheesh.. it drives me crazy!! After almost 12 years of living under the same roof, I swear I think he does it just to see if I will finally develop some sort of twitch!!

TDTMD. fresh picked, cleaned and canned in a pressure cooker are wonderful, go to the basement, grab a can, pop em open and cook them slow, OMG how good.

Hey wet towels aren't that bad of a thing

Crypt, if he doesn't stop leaving wet towels on the floor, he may just have a few more days left!!


And Happytrees, I am not a huge fan of green beans, but I will eat them IF they are fresh. I won't touch the ones out of a can!

Crypt

It has to be his Birthday or maybe he only has a few days left to live.

Haha! Thanks, Crypt! And sorry to make the green monster flow, but, nope, not newlyweds. Can you believe I still cook for him after 10 years?!

Crypt

Posted 7:53 pm, 03/10/2013

That is one fine looking supper. Pass the garlic bread and a glass
of cold milk. I won't be as jealous if I know you two are newly weds.

Here ya go Moving... virtual dinner. We changed the main dish to meatloaf, hope you don't mind. It was a last minute decision. And the beans were pretty good if I do say so myself!

My hubby's plate!
