Sea Beans







Toronto had a huge Raptor basketball parade yesterday to celebrate their championship. Record crowds perhaps 2 million people filled the city. The prime minister and all the dignitaries were there. Unfortunately the celebration was marred by shootings where 4 people were shot at the site and crowds started pushing. The situation was controlled and no one was killed. The joyous celebration was marred.


I was browsing 'Fine Cooking' magazine and discovered Sea Beans. '...harvested them from beds in shallow coastal waters and inland alkaline marshes, sea beans have recently become more widely appreciated. Nowadays, you’ll find them at farmers’ markets as well as specialty grocers...Sea beans are beloved for their salty, slightly grassy taste (thus the comparison to beans and asparagus) as well as their crisp, snappy bite.'  Have you heard of them?

Too bad about the shootings marring the celebration in Toronto. But, I can imagine how great it is to be NBA champs.
