I actually thought canned green beans were OK... until I had fresh ones.
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

As a kid, I acquired a pea-hatred from canned peas. Then I tasted fresh peas and figured out the problem....
See, as a kid, I hated peas because we had to shell them. And I hated that worse than shucking corn.

Oh, there's this Ethiopian place in Evanston where I once had green beans with the meal. They tasted canned to me. What kind of restaurant uses canned green beans? OK, I know many diner-type places do, but still...

I'd leave by 9am, but I'm super-cautious about that kind of thing.

I've only shelled peas a few times in my childhood, while visiting my grandma on her farm. I definitely preferred doing that over shucking corn, because getting that damn silk out of the corn cob was such a PITA.

I liked shucking corn as a kid. But I was glad we didn't have to do that for the cow's corn.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's assuming getting there by two hours in advance, right?
Can you make breakfast in time for us to leave then? I mean, if you still want to do breakfast? It still seems to be on the plate for me.

Well, the shucking had to be done quickly (since my mother would start the water to boil as my father went to pick the corn and then we had to shuck it by the time it reached boiling) so we made a race out of it. But the peas seemed to take forever.

I was just on a conference call with a guy in Atlanta who had to interrupt in the middle to tell us all he was watching out his window while a guy tried to dig his car out of the snow with a spoon.
