Is there something you love so much you eat it daily and never get tired of it?
There are lots of things I could eat every day, but it wouldn’t be prudent. I could eat potatoes every day, or macaroni and cheese, but those are in the “treat“ category.
But, Green beans? I eat ‘em all year round as the “green” part of my work lunch, along with some kind of protein. But this year with our new magical invisible deer fence we’re growing our own green beans, and they are ever so much more amazing when fresh picked. Tender, tasty, no strings attached, and a lovely delicate flavor. Lightly steamed, drizzled with avocado oil, sprinkled with a little sea salt, and I’m in heaven.
There’s just no comparison. It’s going to be hard returning to grocery store green beans after being so spoiled, but I love them enough to even eat the store-bought ones.
Home-grown tomatoes are the same in natural superiority, and I eat them straight off the bush like candy. But while I do tire of figuring out what to do with all the tomatoes by the end of summer, I never tire of fresh green beans. nom.
So far no deer have gotten past the new invisible deer fence, but come August and September they’ll be much hungrier, so we’ll see.
The strength of the “invisible” deer fence was tested in the Benny and the Meth incident, wherein one cranked-up Benny led the police on a high speed chase (high-speed for Paradise, anyway; they were going 45 mph) that ended up with Benny’s truck and a cop car crashed in our front yard, (thankfully mostly still in pre-construction phase), on the very night after we’d finished erecting the invisible deer fencing, all the while doubting it could actually stand up to a full-grown hungry charging deer. That night the hapless Benny leaped from his wrecked truck and hoofed it towards the creek to hide the drugs, but like a cartoon character he spectacularly boiiinnggged right off of the deer fence, and it held.
Deer fence: Unharmed. If it can hold off a six foot tall freaked-out fleeing felon I reckon it’ll do.
Benny and the Meth: Arrested in the driveway, with every law enforcement officer within 20 miles on hand to point and laugh.
See how many cops cars you can count. I’ll spot you the one right next to and partially obscured by the truck.
We also had a fire truck, the Highway Patrol, a K-9 unit and two tow trucks.
