Today's piece is a photo of creepy... I mean cranberry beans. 🙂
Day 211: Cranberry Beans
Real photographers do something called “macro photography”, where they take really interesting photos of tiny objects, often with neato lighting. I, on the other hand, being a painter first and foremost, enjoy photography but have no formal skills. I don’t even know how to delete a picture on my camera most of the time.
Today I thought I’d try to get a cool image from this pile of cranberry beans I picked up at Whole Foods the other day. Up close, they kind of look like creepy alien fingers… jam-packed with nutrients. I am now off to attempt to cook them (cooking is also one of my non-skills that I engage in regularly). Wish me luck!

do those change colors when you cook them?

Yes. They go yellow like wax beans. And they are not like green beans; the husk is very fibrous. I would compare them to edamame. The beans inside are violet! 🙂
