Our second crop of beans are ripe. We have lots. I've been giving them away to everyone who comes to the house and a few folks I've tracked down. I figure you share what you have in surplus, people give me stuff when they have it. It seems right to return the favor.
One question everyone has asked so far is--are they fresh beans? It makes sense to me. Fresh beans taste way better than dried beans. Bry'Chell and I have improved our speed in shelling beans. OK, we're not as fast as women around here who have been doing it their whole lives, but we're faster than we were a few months ago. It's sort of relaxing to sit and talk or watch a movie while shelling beans. It's surprising how fast the pile of beans grows.
Interestingly enough, beans are more expensive around here than pineapple. Beans are protein. Protein can be difficult to come by.
