Something like that.

Fig

It's a beautiful early fall day, too soon for the fig tree's semi-annual migration, but I keep hoping it'll learn how to walk. So far, no luck on that.

Dueling houses

Puffy cloud day.

The other dueling house

And studio. Big party next door last night. It took up all the street parking. Somebody parked in the driveway until we went to the farmer's market.

Mike's BDCake

& Mike

Yet more errupting cake

I headed off for the wilds o' Oakdale with four beans

Thinking, this ain't suburban food.

I made three dressings:

EVOO
Garlic
Salt
Moutarde de meaux
Balsamic vinegar
Tabasco
for the green beans

Peanut oil
Vidalia onion
Red curry paste
Salt
Garlic
Cook & add (at the end):
Lime Juice
for the yard-long beans

EVOO
Moutarde de meaux
Lemon thyme
Lemon zest
Lemon juice
Salt
Tabasco
for the wax and broad beans

And they pretty much ate the plate I sat out. And took a bunch when I left.

The broad beans tasted a little under salted and lemoned, but they kept their color. The yard-long beans had a bit of a kick, but not top of the head. That one I cooked.

The "L" Word!
