string beans all summer long.

well, growing up this was always a seasonal dish but i guess today you can find anything anytime. this is great, refreshing and fulfilling. all you do is quickly boil however many stringbeans you want- till tender and no longer crisp. drain, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle salt and add minced garlic (preferably not the store bought minced garlic in the jar). mix and serve. you can eat these warm or prepare them in advance and eat them cold out of the fridge. it makes a great side dish or even as your main meal if you want to stuff yourself on something healthy and delicious.

About Me

My photo
Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
