Reasons to be cheerful!

Apparently the 'Americans call it a casserole..... Never ever try it, it's revolting!

Do you mean beans in soup? Like a bean of some sort and mushroom soup.

The recipe JJ told me to make involved a tin of green beans and a tin of Campbell's mushroom soup. You basically mix them together and bake in the oven.....he assures me it wasn't a joke!

I'm going to try that!

I am taking no responsibility for it.....yuck!

It's green bean casserole -- a traditional dish served at Thanksgiving and Xmas dinner! 



For Tank:  the classic recipe

I'm not sure I've ever actually had an oreo.

Anyway, there are some good biscuits out there.....Scottish shortbread, chocolate Leibniz, Lebkuchen, chocolate and hazelnut biscotti....

I tried half of one once. I think that gives you an idea that you're not missing out 

Sickly. They taste like they were conceived and baked by Leutenant Commander Data, without the ability to actually taste what 'he' had made.

I made hamburger helper for dinner. Didn't have hamburger so I used sausage. Wasn't bad.

Claire forgot to mention that she didn't properly prepare the casserole...

Yes because even though the recipe (the same one Sandy posted above) says.... "Stir the soup, milk, soy sauce, black pepper, beans and 2/3 cup onions in a 1 1/2-quart casserole." Apparently, you're not actually supposed to put in milk or soy sauce.......it's like some bizarre code!

Here's a recipe for it that switches out the fried onions for parmesan cheese and bacon: green bean casserole remix.  Tho personally I like the tacky little fried onions.

Heather's and Elizabeth's responses cheered me up!

^^ I think the 14 chihuahuas lady is a bit extreme, but she's definitely on the right track.

I got a job and approved for a loan today and I go to look at a car tomorrow. Go me I guess.

Welcome back Bud,...and as a welcome back gift I give you a chocolate Cumberbatch!



Congratulations as well on the job, loan and new car,...I guess? (What's the job by the way?)

[Buddy]

Thanks for the chocolate. 

It's just a stable hand job at a small boarding barn near where I go to school. Not something that I really wanted to get back in to, but it's work so I can't complain. Getting a job is the only reason I was even able to think about asking for a loan for a car and that is what I am most excited about. Link to the ad here if anyone is curious. I'm bribing my stepdad with buying him dinner to come with me to the dealership haha.
