On the 2nd morning of MCO, I harvested the first long bean from my garden. I have grown long beans before and this is by far the longest I have harvested.
The above is the only long bean harvested because the rest were not due for harvest yet.
I measured it and it was 2 feet 6 inches long. Not easy to get the whole long bean into the screen of the camera.
With only 1 long bean and freshly harvested, I have decided to eat it raw with sambal dried prawn.
Home cooked dinner for 2 people without rice.
Taro cooked with roast pork, Blanched home grown Brazilian spinach and raw long bean with sambal dried prawn.
Received a comb of banana from my neighbour.

Snacks bought from a shop in our area.
Deep fried Honeycomb snack with sesame seeds.
Deep fried muruku snack.
This honeycomb snack is easy to bite, light and crispy, and breaks easily.
This is a bit hard to bite, sign of aging. Lol!
We bought some peanut candy from a roadside stall on one of our morning walk. Surprisingly, this is very fresh and crunchy, and not too sweet.
Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
sweet and delightful to the soul and healing to the body.
(Proverbs 16:24, Amplified Bible-AMP)
That's a really long bean! I didn't know it can be enjoyed raw. The meal looks so delicious.
ReplyDeleteWhen it is freshly plucked, it is nice to be eaten raw, you can taste its natural sweetness.
DeleteFeliz mes de febrero.

ReplyDeleteI have never seen beans like this before. Have a nice day:)
These long beans are easily available here.
DeleteI love fresh picked veggies from the garden!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carol.
DeleteEvery year, except this past year, our town has a festival. A booth there makes what we call rosettes...they are very, very light and crisp. And are sprinkled with powdered sugar and so good...your honey comb snacks reminded me of them.
ReplyDeleteThere are no festival for us as well before the spike in the number of infected cases.
DeleteThe peanut candy is not taxing to the teeth? I don't dare to eat peanut candy due to my weak teeth.
ReplyDeleteI tried and surprisingly it was not taxing and I could easily bite on the peanut candy. Some were hard to bite, but not this maybe because it was fresh.
DeleteThe peanut candy looks delicious. Impressive green bean, I don't think I have ever seen one so long.
ReplyDeleteThis is by far the longest long bean I harvested from my garden.
DeleteWow! What a super long, long bean. Does your husband eat the the long bean in its raw state?
ReplyDeleteLol! He doesn't.
DeleteHah, good that you have bought cny snacks for both of you to eat. How many days do you think you will take to finish eating these 3 types of snacks?
ReplyDeleteLol! It lasted about a week.
Delete...I have most of the seed for this year's garden, but there isn't anything to harvest yet.
ReplyDeleteVery soon, you will have plenty to harvest.
DeleteMmmm yummy :)
