I'm glad you asked that
The green beans might be mine...but probably they are our friends that passed from Covid. I'm really really going to miss them. Their daughter came over Tuesday and I told her the following:
"On another note, what the heck are we going to do without your mom's green beans?"
She laughed--we had been crying so it was good to laugh.....
Backstory: We grew green beans for several years, but they never could compare with theirs, so we just gave up and started trading them their green beans for whatever they wanted from our garden. She canned them and gave them to her family and they LOVED them.
We miss both of them very much.
Big hugs to you all. One of the best ways I've found to memorialize loved ones is with food. I try to call recipes by the names of the people who made them or gave them to me. Among the 1700+ recipes on my webpage are many eponymous ones from family and friends, including many, many from eG, including @andiesenji, @Ann_T, @C. sapidus, @Darienne, @David Ross, @deensiebat, @Dejah, @Domestic Goddess, @Fat Guy, @gfweb, @Jaymes, @Chufi, @Marlene, @mgaretz, @Norm Matthews, @patti, @suzilightning and, of course, you, @Shelby. Among others - I'm sure I've missed some. Some of these folks are still active, some aren't and some are gone completely, but when I come across a recipe or make something, I remember them. It is a good moment!
