More Adventures in Vegetables
I took another little stroll off my beaten path 'o vegetables today. I found in the supermarket these very interesting looking beans.

They are called cranberry beans. Pretty aren't they?
The pods are speckled, and when you open them, so are the beans!

Unfortunately, after cooking them, they loose their cool spots.

I tried this recipe. It tasted okay, if a bit too lemony for my liking, but the beans are interesting, and I would definitely try again with another recipe.
I had even better luck trying brussel sprouts roasted. Those were really, really
good! I halved them, and by the end of the meal we had to ration them out because all the kids except Her Purpleness wanted more. Yep, you read that correctly. My kids wanted seconds and thirds of brussel sprouts. And in other news, hell has frozen over.
Off to bed. This has been a very long and busy day.
