dear fava beans,
I love you.
I love how long you are (12 inches?!). I love your color. I love how well you handle our cool cloudy weather. And how delicious you taste. Especially boiled in salt water for 1 minute and 30 seconds, then dunked in cold water, shelled & finally fried in butter with garlic scapes & walla walla onion tossed with pasta & sea salt.
Also, thank you for being so bountiful so that I may stock my farmstand full of your goodness for a fair price. I hope they all come to eat you too.
Love, Chandler
