I love the idea of making the green bean casserole with fresh ingredients. I've made it with fresh beans and mushrooms and a cream sauce instead of the mushroom soup before, but never gone to the extent of deep frying onions! Very cool.<BR/><BR/>By the way, you said you liked being tagged.

And it was weird to teach a child not to take pride in their neighbourhood. It would have been kind of cool if they had written the story about how the neighbourhood is actually the coolest area in chicago...it's THE place to live in my opinion it is so wonderful...and there are a lot fo families who take pride in their history and food and community...just something else that seemed riude about the Hispanic Pilsen area doll...Candy Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350752657678863378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-6249604160267177532007-11-24T13:32:00.000-05:002007-11-24T13:32:00.000-05:00Tweety, yes, I am aware of those convenient items ...Tweety, yes, I am aware of those convenient items for the Green Bean Casserole...I was kind of having fun with the idea of making a 70's canned food dish revamped and with fresh ingredients. Joe and Danny said they would have got the canned onions and I said well then I wouldn't have had so much fun blogging about this casserole...because it was a lot of fun trying to make it from scratch.<BR/><BR/>also...I found out...I like deep frying and the batter was surprisingly nice to eat and delicate! Next year...I think I will make the mushroom soup from scratch with heavy cream. The organic canned soup we picked up was really only "so-so".Candy Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350752657678863378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-54220534442845131852007-11-24T12:25:00.000-05:002007-11-24T12:25:00.000-05:00Mocha Mom, we did have a fun dinner..and I'll alwa...Mocha Mom, we did have a fun dinner..and I'll always stop by your blog, cheers.<BR/><BR/>Mister Anchovy, yes, I love rapeseed growing and I love it that it's related to the cabbage family. It is one of the richest and healthiest oils with Omega 3...that is, right after flax seed oil! It's a plant that is very useful and nutritious so I dig it.<BR/><BR/>Gardenia, oh I love mushrooms, those are like little people. Danny said he thought they looked like sculpture. I am not against the American Girl dolls, I love dolls. I grew up playing with Barbie and believe she was a great role model...my god the girl had all kinds of careers and flew a plane! I was interested in the controversy surrounding a urban doll trying to move to the suburbs...and thought it was a very poor narrative to be teaching children. I think Mattel made a ridiculous choice in teaching that a neighbourhood was dangerous ethnically too. They failed environmentally and with prejudice...but it also gives parents those issues to discuss with their kids. I don't think w have a pic of the tatooed doll that Stagg painted. I've seen her though over at Little Guido's place and she is really cool looking.Candy Minxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350752657678863378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-58425558460188141982007-11-24T12:15:00.000-05:002007-11-24T12:15:00.000-05:00Glad to know it went well.

Hard to explain. You more than would likely see them in a grocery store. I dont know if you just buy everything organic or not so I dont want to say regular grocery store.

The casserole looked really delicious. Glad you were surrounded by friends - you have pretty dishes. My granddaughter has several American Girl dolls - and Barbies - I've had mixed feelings. The AG dolls are beautifully made and do teach a bit of history - correct or not, I don't know - I guess just personal stories.<BR/><BR/>I'll go back and look at the videos after I make a cup of coffee.<BR/><BR/>Would like to see a picture of TAT doll.Gardeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233358355888022857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-54745386850623888842007-11-24T09:37:00.000-05:002007-11-24T09:37:00.000-05:00Nice looking dinner! When I was growing up here in...Nice looking dinner! <BR/><BR/>When I was growing up here in Ontario, it seems to me that Canola, which is a rapeseed, was new to the market. Previously there was a lot of industrial rapeseed grown here. Canola is the market name of a strain of rapeseed that has an erucic acid content of 2% or less, while the industrial stuff is much higher in erucic acid. I think the rapeseed strain we call canola is basically less bitter and more palatable than the industrial stuff. All the rapeseeds appear a stunning bright yellow in the fields that is really beautiful.mister anchovyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14047409406840291723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23226602.post-39319997899034711212007-11-23T17:39:00.000-05:002007-11-23T17:39:00.000-05:00Looks like you all had a wonderful dinner, looked ...Looks like you all had a wonderful dinner, looked super yummy!!
