I’m not exactly the poster child for cooking meals from scratch. Well, truthfully, I’m not the poster child for cooking anything. Period. In fact, my idea of “making dinner” is picking up takeout from one place or another.
So I thought I was being punked yesterday as a fellow shopper in our local supermarket asked me {yes, me} a question about cooking.
The fact that she asked me {shock!} combined with the question itself, literally made me chuckle out loud.
Her question? “How do you cook those?”
To what was she referring?
Green beans.

True story.
After I realized she was serious, I hesitated and said “I steam them usually.”
And she asked, “So do you break of the ends?”
“Yes.”
“And break them in half?”
“No.”
And that was that.
And I’m still in shock. Did a 40-something year old woman just ask me how to make… green beans?!?
I still feel like she could not have been serious.
