Green beans are not my favorite vegetable. At the dinner table when I was little, I would trade my green beans for my brother’s fish. Of course, when my parents weren’t looking. I disliked green beans and he loathed the haddock that my mother prepared. Fast forward some 30 years and I have acquired a […]
