I had some veggies with my steak up at Carrows (the one at Western and
Westmont, between RPV and San Pedro, in case you're in the area). Green
beans, carrots, and yellow bean-things that looked like green beans but they
were a pale yellow. There weren't too many and they didn't seem carby, so I
ate a few. I'd like to find out what they are so that I can look them up in
the usda database. Thanks -- Mike

As others have said, they're wax beans. You grow them and prepare them
exactly like green beans. You can also get purple beans, but those turn
green when you cook them. I get a mixed seed pack for my garden each
year, as the wax beans usually are ready to pick before the green and
purple beans are.
