Hey, Joe, where you goin' with that bean in your pan?
Hey, Anthony- c'mere! I just caught big Joey playing with "little Joey", if you know what I mean ... we got a regulah Joey Onan heah!
That's how I read the website form - joeyonan.com - of the name of WaPo food writer Joe Yonan, whose yearlong book leave finds him homesteading with his sister and brother-in-law in North Berwick.*
He has a column on beans arising from a new book, Bean by Bean, by Crescent Dragonwagon, a name which, once I read it perhaps twenty or more years ago, maybe in the NYT, I have never been in danger of forgetting.
*It appears that in my devotion in such precincts to keeping forever green the memory of Genesis 38:9, unlike Onan's many (in spirit if not in spilt, deflected issue) furtive descendants, I am not alone. Of course, if in your well-measured essays in cookery you're going to add in salt to inchery in titling your last book Serve Yourself: Nightly Adventures in Cooking for One, you cannot claim to be surprised when the emissions resulting - and not just from the beans - turn out to be diurnal only half the time.
Speaking of the WaPo:
DEAR MISS MANNERS: If a considerate guest assists their host by going after flies with a rolled-up magazine, is the guest also responsible for removing the smashed fly goo from the walls and furniture?
GENTLE READER: Yes. Under the circumstances, one cannot expect the flies to clean up after themselves.
