      I can't stand restaurants that blanch or worse yet, just run raw beans under a heat lamp after tossing in some oil or butter. They are raw and they are gross. They don't taste like a cooke bean. Yes it's fast. Yes you can hold them all day and reheat them or leave them under those horrible lights. But they are terrible.

    One of my favorite comments I ever heard come from Julia Child (there were many gems)...when asked in a restaurant how she liked her al dente green beans she simply replied in her classic high voice..."COOKED!"

    I have shallot and string beans. I've never cooked string beans that long but I will give it a try. Lazy I am, I usually just put the fresh string beans right into a large frying pan with oil and some water, close the lid and cook it until it's tender. This saves me from washing another pot.

    I also get bread and make it like your mother did for you after school. I can't get enough of your wonderful stories of when you were a kid. I kind of sign my name to your childhood. And if I could have anything in this life that God would grant me it would be to meet you and give you a hug. You are my family now for so many reasons. You show people that you can go on and you do great. God Lives in You.
    Your stories are so beautiful when you talk about your family I always am in tears I can barely see my TV. Your voice brings me joy in your enthusiasm. God bless you. I will mention you in my prayers to God not to be sad for the loss of your mother and your wife and anybody else in your past. You should never be sad for all the beauty you bring into the world. I make lots of stuff when I can afford it that you teach me. I know it sounds silly but I pretend that you care about me as if I were your family because you do care about people like that your whole heart and soul.
    I also pray for your shoulder and if you have arthritis just in case. It's so beautiful to see your face light up when your family cooks with you.
