Howdy Dearest Sonny. So glad you are wrangling up T-day feast for you and Mr. O. If you were closer I'd pick you up to feast all day, snooze in recliner, and watch FOOBALL with us.
I just remembered the only way DH likes green beans. Old time southern cooks and taste buds dictate green beans be cooked down to almost mush with salty pork back the whole time. (That goes for most veggies.) Beans have to be fresh and not canned, too. Funny that that's the only veggie he has to have so way over cooked. One of his favorite veggies is brussle sprouts (Jen

). Couple weeks ago we discovered a new to us way of cooking them and they definitely aren't over cooked and mushy.
Slice b.sprouts thinly, top to bottom.
Heat butter or oil on low-medium (we prefer olive oil but I added a sprinkle of ButterBuds powder last few minutes)
Brown b.sprouts lightly, flipping each, individually, over a few times until just softened. (That's time consuming.)
Salt and pepper when still hot.
Pretty yummy if one likes brussel sprouts.
Hugs, Alice mom
