cook's notes

When I was a young wife I was watching Julia Child and she was making green beans with butter and sesame seeds. I remember thinking this was so fancy! What do you want, I was 19. I've dressed it up a bit since then and it is still a go to quick veggie that goes with any kind of meat or fish.
