Amuse Bouche: Quick and Easy Lemon-Dill Green Beans

http://happy-mouth.blogspot.com/2009/08/quick-and-easy-lemon-dill-green-beans.html

Saturday, August 8, 2009. Quick and Easy Lemon-Dill Green Beans. This isn't exactly a recipe, but this is how I throw together a quick, and delicious side dish. Place the freshest green beans you can find in a deep skillet with a lid. Add about 3 to 4 tablespoons water, depending on the thickness of the beans. Use more water for thicker beans, less for skinnier ones. Drizzle with about 2 teaspoons olive oil, and sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt. Toss. Saturday, August 08, 2009. Cooking This and That.

Amuse Bouche: Sweet Home Alabama

http://happy-mouth.blogspot.com/2009/08/sweet-home-alabama.html

Sunday, August 2, 2009. One of my favorite parts of living in the deep south is the selection of what we call Meat-and-Threes—essentially cafeterias serving up homestyle Southern food. A typical plate consists of a meat, such as pot roast, fried catfish, or fried chicken, and three veggies, such as slow-cooked green beans, collards, macaroni and cheese (while not actually a vegetable, it's considered one here), and my favorite, fried okra. Soaking in buttermilk and hot sauce}. Vegetable oil, for frying.

Amuse Bouche: April 2009

http://happy-mouth.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Wednesday, April 29, 2009. It's Been a While. Have you missed me? I've missed you. I'm not sure what happened to this little blog of mine.I have neglected it, and that's just silly of me. Blogging isn't hard, and it isn't that time-consuming. But at the end of the day, it gets pushed to the bottom of my priorities list, and I end up choosing to be lazy on the couch instead of keeping up with forlorn and forgotten Amuse Bouche. I do think there will be a little bit of melancholy this summer after all the ...
