Now I Remember Why I Can't Remember the Last Time I Made Fava Bean Spread

Three freakin' hours just to get to the stove!  You have to shuck the beans, which takes an hour, then blanch them for 5 mintues to get their little white condoms off, which takes another hour, then you rinse and rinse and rinse because they have a smelly slime coating.   Mash, mash, mash on med-lo heat, then run outside to clip herbs from the garden.  Chop chop chop the dill and mint, a little oil, a little lemon juice, a lot of pepper, fleur de sel, mash, stir, add cheese, heat it through, add the greek yoghurt, and take it off the heat.  Whew!  Mom and Lou better appreciate this.

We're just having a few big bread, cheese, meat, and veggie trays.  Zanne is off the clock.
