Green beans

organic green beans (I used a prepackaged, prewashed kind I found at the a&p, but they weren't super tasty.  Next time I'll do all the work myself)
water

Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer for 10 minutes.  Puree in blender and pass through a strainer to remove extra stringy stuff and bean "hulls".  This is another labor intensive one because the string beans get kind of , well, stringy.

Reaction:  Um, yum.  First bite was a smile and then he proceeded to knock out the whole bowl.
