Sea Salt

I put the green beans in the corning ware dish with the sliced portabella mushrooms and the three-quarter cup of water, placed the lid on and put the dish in the microwave for fourteen minutes. I put the large non-stick pan on the stove top and put the dial on five and a whole stick of garlic butter in the pan and the tablespoonful of sesame seeds with it and browned the seeds and then the microwave sounded and it was fourteen minutes already. Whew!

So I removed the corning ware dish from the microwave, removed the lid and spooned the green beans and sliced portabella mushrooms into the hot non-stick pan less the water, turned the dial to about seven or eight and sauteed them, stirring occasionally to get the beans and mushrooms on top to the bottom and then again and again. Near about when I thought they might be done I reached in with careful fingers and plucked a bean out and put in it my mouth and immediately I knew I forgot one ingredient.

One tablespoon of sea salt!
