I could never understand how to do it without getting the shell stuck under my fingernails. Painful! My Barese Nana used to make fave en bonata (spelling?). Basically, it was a mixture of fava, bread, cheese, and chicory greens, I think. It was delicious, and I could eat tons of it. Luckily for my waistline, we only had it once in a while. <em>Bella's last blog post..<a href='http://bellasboldbrilliantblog.wordpress.com/2008/05/09/surprise-surprise/' rel="nofollow">Surprise, Surprise!</a></em> <strong><em>Ooh that sounds delicious Bella! It shouldn't be *too* unhealthy for you, depending on just how much bread and cheese is involved, right? ;) Oh how I hated shelling fava beans as a kid.

I had always heard that they were poisonous eaten raw, but it's just the inner-outer husk, huh? Fascinating. There is a certain obsessive-compulsive delight in tasks of this nature, the double husking I mean. But then you not only have to really want the dish, you also have to be really okay with spending the time only to have the food vanish immediately after being served. It's a conflict I'm always having with myself. Yes, I long for X dish, but no, I will be sad to spend my entire day creating it and then not be able to enjoy it or have it appreciated for a commensurate amount of time. I think this is one of the pleasures of baking. As we've gotten older (and not had kids), we've gotten a trifle more circumspect about our lust for certain foods. It is not normal for me to take half an hour or an hour to make a batch of cookies, a cake or a pie and then have it gone half an hour after it comes out of the oven or cools sufficiently. Not anymore. ;) Now the joy gets drawn out at least 24 hours! Not so with the time- and/or labor-intensive entrées. <strong><em>You know I never really thought of it that way Sara, but that could be why I prefer baking too. I figure a dish like this every once in a while is rewarding--could never do it every night though. And I'm also happy to say that baked goods now last longer than just a day in my house too.
