By the weekend, we will most likely have enough to serve as a side dish for our traditional Chicken Fried Steak entree. <\/p>\n<p>Each spring for the past several, I planted &#8216;Kentucky Wonder&#8217; green beans in the garden. Most years they produce enough beans for us and our neighbor who gladly accepts the excess beans.<\/p>\n<p>Image: Kentucky Wonder Bean Buds.<\/p>\n<p>About <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kitazawaseed.com\/seed_002-4.html\">Kentucky Wonder<\/a> beans:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This old-time country pole bean with brown seeds is a favorite. Beans are approximately 6&#8243;-8&#8243; inches long, slender and stringless. Will produce heavily if harvested diligently. This bean has been popular since the mid 1800s.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We prepare the beans according to a recipe we both like a lot. <\/p>\n<p>Chop the beans into one-inch pieces, bring them to a boil in an inch or so of water in a large pan. After boiling for three or four minutes, strain the beans and set aside. <\/p>\n<p>In the same pan, render a couple of slices of chopped bacon until almost crisp. Next, add a couple of cloves of garlic and a quarter of an onion finely chopped. When the onion becomes carmelized, add the beans back to the pan. De-glaze the pan with a tablespoon of white vinegar and a teaspoon of sugar or sweetener of your choice. <\/p>\n<p>Thoroughly stir the beans to re-heat and coat with the pan drippings and then serve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the garden, the green beans are growing.
