Freezing Green Beans

Snip ends, cut in 2-inch pieces, blanch in boiling water for 3
minutes.  Remove from boiling water and chill in a large quanitity
of ice water for at least 3 minutes.  Drain well, spread a layer
on a cookie sheet and freeze until solid (set a timer for an hour
or two).  Remove from sheet into a heavy plastic bag for longer
term freezer storage.  Cook desired quantity at mealtime.  It's a
nice way to do them.
