lone vegetables

Yesterday I ate the single yellow currant tomato that the volunteer in the ginger pot managed to set. It was an excellent savory fruit in the not-exactly-tomato way those yellow currant tomatoes have. I should grow them again. Now, though, I'll snip down this spindly plant and let the ginger have the pot; I didn't think it was coming back up, but it has.

Today I ate the single green bean that has come to non-miniature size, though in this case there will be more. Yes, this does mean that I heated up the skillet to cook one bean. I did not dirty a plate for it, though -- I ate it with a fork. It was, unsurprisingly, excellent.

Congratulations on your vegetable harvest.

If I were to grow green beans, you can be sure that very few of them would find their way to the skillet. *crunch crunch*

One end I did eat still rawish. The browned bits of bean-skin are so tasty, though.
