It's not precisely a green vegetable, but it's not Thanksgiving without green bean casserole. :)

Sure it's a green vegetable! :-)

(I think the stuff's okay, but I don't actually know anyone who really likes it a lot, so I probably won't make it.)

Ah, okay. Maybe the reverence I have for the stuff is because I grew up down here below the Mason Dixon line. :)

*raises her hand shyly* I love green bean casserole!

Well, if you'll be at T-day, I'll make a batch special for you, and then since it's got cream of mushroom soup in it, I'll eat a bunch just because it's there. :-)

I'll have to take a rain check dahlink. I'll be in the Sierra Nevadas eatin din wit da fam and I might even get a chance to do a bit of spelunking (did I ever tell you I love Calaveras County?)

Fun! Hope you'll post about it.

I LOVE the greenbean casserole, but the mushroom soup comes with lactose. Mushroom soup and Durkee (now French's) onions in a casserole are a reason by themselves to give thanks. However, I don't find it essential for Thanksgiving. Then again, I don't find turkey essential, either.

One of these days, I have to make you the casserole sans lactose.
