Payoff

What a great gift we have: a home with a big garden in a climate that grows great vegetables. Praise the Lord! Here's a sample of what came in just today from our garden:

In there are carrots (why do the ones from your garden always taste better than any you can get in the store?), yellow squash, broccoli, cilantro, cauliflower, and green beans.

Today is the first day we picked green beans. But going out to the trellis I see the tsunami of them coming. Last year we let a few quarts go to seed on the vines because we had already picked so many. But this year I'm armed with the recipe for dill-pickled green beans. Thanks, Wakemans!
