Oooh that looks wonderful! I'd cook some bacon until crisp, crumble and throw them on top... That's a whole meal for me... YUM!

I came back when I saw your comment on my Friends Feed. Sigh. I normally don't pay attention to the ratings, Lou Anne. And so, I forget a lot of times to rate articles, including this article, when I was here earlier. I hope my 10-stars will off set that low rating you just got. People have nothing better to do, I guess.

Wonderful! Can we go picnic somewhere woodsy near a stream and feast on fresh beans? Loved the recipe and gave you a 10 just because the db-1-er is such a nasty pain.
