Happy Turkey Day You Fuckin Turkeys!

I know I know but I just can't make myself eat it.  Green beans are supposed to be crisp and still green, not slimy and milky and I can't help it I've hated it since I was a kid. 

My kids love the stuff, I just get clammy and gaggy thinking about it.

I'll end up making it though, just sort of hoped someone might have a better suggestion I could try other than the regular green veggie side dishes....

What about root succotash?

[Rizzo]

I can't wait for the candied yams! 

[Whatever]

What about root succotash?

What root veggies are green?

I do a parsnip, carrot, turnip and ginger mix that the kids will eat.  Steamed, then lightly browned in butter mmmmm

Oh, sorry, I forgot about the green part.

Creamed spinach?  Brussel sprouts?

Collared greens?

I was hoping for something "different" yanno?  Eh, I'm going to end up doing green bean casserole (GAG)

I am sorry if I came off that bitchy picky. We just eat a lot of green veggies.  I couldn't think of anything.

They had some beautiful brussel sprouts at the store so I'm making those.  Still have to make the damn casserole.

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!

I am fucking exhausted and I have a lot of cooking to do. Also, it just fully sunk in for me that my two autistic siblings are having Thanksgiving together. My thoughts, in succession:

1. Oh shit, I wish I could see this!
2. No no wait thank god I don't have to be there.
3. This is either going to be adorable and heartwarming, or a complete disaster.

You could always make a steamed veggie salad, Niamh. Or make the mushroom soup into some sort of fondue deal and dip in greenbeans and zucchini and rolled up spinach leaves. I did that once. Melted the mushroom soup with a few bags of shreddy cheese until it was nice and thick. Then used it like a fondue. Everything was going great until my cat knocked the pot over in one of her fly-around-the-house rampages.

But she came back and ate most of it while I was getting the stuff to clean it up, so apparently it was good. :P I have now come to believe this was part of her plan all along.
