Good for you with the green beans -- and all fancy with French Style! ; ) Fresh-picked garden greens are one of my favorites! I've been eating fresh hop shoots this week, too -- they taste like mild green beans when they are raw. : )
I was a fortunate kid, for sure. I spent a lot of time with my dad. It was easier for people to take their kids to work back then. He took me along a lot, out in the field investigating fish kills at ponds and lakes. So now I love the smell of dead fish, lol. It's easier to share my love of wild plants with other people than an appreciation for dead fish! ; )
