FRENCH BEANS — Soak them over night, then parboil them until the skins loosen, change the water, and when they are cool, rub off the skins; put them back in the pot with fresh water to just cover them, and boil until they begin to break in pieces; then drain, sprinkle a little salt and pepper over them, and bits of butter
