From A Neighbors Garden . . .

One of my neighbors made me take some black beans a couple of days ago.  She would not take no for an answer despite my protests that I had no idea what to do with them :)  They sat on the counter for a few days reproaching me, then today I was inspired to at least shell them.  The kids came to see what I was doing and before we knew it they were all done!  Then, of course, we had to count them.  In case you were wondering there were 1046!
