The Devil's Vegetable poll:


[Poll #1416966][Poll #1416966]

In other news, I saw a male green woodpecker this morning, in the middle of an open field. He was industrously examining the fence posts. I think he must have flown in from the woods across the Tamar.

Minor grumble: my new, super-permeable contact lenses seem to be on slow focus. I can see things in a lot of detail, but changing focus on my eyes seems to take ages!

edit: dear me, the rich text editor gets its pants severely twisted once it comes to polls. Back to HTML editor...

Runner beans. Awful things, horrible texture and horrible flavour, but it's mostly the texture I dislike. They are a pod that should definitely not be eaten, ever. For some bizarre reason my mother grew them every year and they would be served at every meal while they were in season, and many out of season too, as she froze the surplus. It was always the same, every day.

Mum: "Would you like some Runner beans?"
Me: "No, you know I hate them"
Mum: "Well I just thought you might have changed your mind. Why don't you have some, they're lovely. Your father and I think they're delicious."
Me *very sweetly* "Well then I wouldn't want to deprive the two of you, why don't you divide my share between you?"

More than thirty years and she *still* can't remember I don't like them!

LOL. Parents!

I am growing them this year: will remember not to offer you any!
