BUTTER BEANS
or butter AND beans

My husband is a string bean.  He is six feet tall and has spent most of the past 15 years struggling to hang on to 145 lbs all while consuming every meal as though it were it last.  Yes, it IS annoying.  But, changes in the fat & protein content in our diet over the past year have resulted in his gaining about 10 lbs and a pant size.  I’m tickled.  He’s still a string bean, but age is revealing a completely different figure.  This next Call asks for more figures revealed.  In the meantime, it is hollandaise & a spoon for dinner…
