<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi, ever notice the little square grilled thing
atop an old fashioned hand-operated potato peeler? It's a bean
frencher. You stick your home-grown green beans thru the grill and it
makes french-style green beans. This is especially helpful if you have slightly
older or larger beans that don't taste as tender when merely cut into lengths.
Lacking the mini-machine, you can cut the beans lengthwise, but it is more
dangerous and time-consuming that way. If the beanpods are really tough, you can
discard them but throw the seeds into a pot of soup, keep them as dried beans,
or save them for next year's planting. Linda</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
