That sounds 'nummy. You know, I think vegetables are really just butter/salt vessels. They all taste about the same to me. Maybe that's why I don't like olives - you kinda havta eat them raw. And unlike other raw veggies, they have a distinctive taste. Definitely an acquired one, in my opinion, and I haven't acquired it yet. But I do love to cook with olive oil. Go figure.

Re green bean casserole: My Mom was also into the new conveniences of the 50s and 60s, which meant we rarely had fresh vegetables. However, at Thanksgiving, we always had fresh green beans (cooked to death in the pressure pot). We had a variation on the casserole, but for the leftovers: it was like lasagna, in layers. A layer of shredded turkey covered with a layer of stuffing covered with a layer of green beans, the whole mess infused with cream of mushroom soup and baked.
Those onion thingies in a can scare me.

I think it's quite possible Jeff and I may be the only people who fall into both categories. Basically, with the exception of olives, I have never met a vegetable I didn't like.
