*Crab*

Not as in astrological sign.

Just put some beans on for a five minute boil and forgot them. They are meant for a soup, so their little skins being so wrinkled is not a huge deal. But I'll let them soak for an hour or so before combining.

They're canary beans, and smelled nice and meaty. They are going to go into a veggie soup. I need a home for a couple of giant zucchini and squash.

I have the homestead to myself this weekend. Lots of cooking will happen, and I hope writing. I just found the name of my short story character. The first scene evolves in my head. I see moving fingers in the next hour!
