Black Friday lunch

I had eggs fried with green beans for breakfast today, and felt like eating more beans, and figured I should go cook something for lunch, so I just decided to fry some more beans. I'm a college student and I'm lazy. What more can I say?

Sorry for the crappy picture; I was too lazy to take a better one... :P

~:Fried Green Beans:~
Ingredients:
Large handful of green beans, ends removed and each bean snapped into two, maybe three pieces
Thin slice of sweet butter
Steps:
1) Heat up a pan and add butter. Melt the butter evenly across the bottom of the pan.
2) When the butter begins to bubble, add the green beans.
3) Fry until one side of the beans turns slightly brown, then flip the beans over.
4) Fry until slightly brown. Remove from heat and serve.

Note: Online, people say to fry the beans for 10 minutes. I fry mine for 5, and I find that they are overcooked... I use Medium to Medium-High heat.
Tips for less dry beans: My mom suggests that you boil the beans first, then fry them. This makes them less dry, supposedly. She was pretty shocked when I said I just stuck mine on the pan... But hey, they tasted fine to me. It just depends on what kind of green beans you feel like eating, I guess?
