Operation Yellow wax beans and plums was neither failure or success....
Following my cousins advice I wrapped the beans in foil with olive oil and salt and Jason grilled them. I cut one plum up and said everyone had to try one piece-sounded fair to me:).
Jason said they beans tasted better than he remembered so that was a plus, especially since I still have more to use up. I thought they were pretty good and appreciated the fact that it was something different than corn or broccoli!! The kids kept calling them "yellow green beans," and then would laugh hysterically which was funny to us the first couple times but got old quickly. We had a piece of chocolate cake so we said that whoever ate a slice of a plum could have some cake. Lauren, my sweet lover, quickly decided to try a plum. She said she liked it but took really small, maybe minuscule, bites; however, she eventually finished her piece and ate the rest of dinner so she got some cake. Jackson refused to try the plum and we said it was either 5 beans or a slice of plum or no cake. After many attempts at trying to get us to change our minds he was still at square one-beans/plum vs cake. Guess what-no cake for him. Sometimes he can be very stubborn-I wonder who he gets that from?
Since I ate my beans and plum I'm off to eat my cake!
-should I tell the kids I still have 4 plums left???
