Travels with Linda and Heather
Life is too short to sit still!
Beans…for dinner…really!
We love Rancho Gordo heirloom beans. In their newsletter this month, they recounted the following delightful story:
It’s funny, but I’m getting so used to being around “bean people”, that when I’m not, I’m a little put off. I was at an Oscar party (even though I think the last movie I saw in a theater was “Yentl”) and I brought a pot of beans. Now, I have to say, I made these with pure love. I cut up the mirepoix just so, used my best olive oil and cooked my Ojo de Cabra in a clay pot. My “regular” friends seemed happy to see me and added a side of beans to their plates but an out of towner seemed more than perplexed.
“What do I do with them?”
“You eat them.”
“With what?”
“Your dinner. As a side. They’re perfect as they are.”
The guest rolled his eyes but later tasted the simple beans and said, “You know, these are really good. Just like this!”
Oh, really!
Yes, really!
