I don't want to be so over-the-top in my expression of love and devotion for Green Beans that I lose all credibility but believe me when I tell you that I am just one MILLION percent smitten with those Lanky Ladies.
"Hey! When you get a chance, go ahead and pass the Lanky Ladies down toward this end of the table!" I shriek at Thanksgiving dinner, in a tone filled with equal parts delight, anticipation and fear.
I hope they don't hog them all, I think.
I know I'm blinded by amour but this Thanksgiving when I saw a casserole dish of them with festive ribbons of crunchy stuff appearing to pop out of their yummy heads I swear to god they looked just like Cher in one of her fabulous 70s Bob Mackie outfits and in the moment that I saw them I thought It Doesn't Get Much Better Than This.
Yours in gravy,

You can have all of my green beans as long as you give me all of your mashed potatoes. With butter.
I am SO with you on this. My mom makes an entirely awesomely awesome green bean casserole. Did I mention that it's awesome?
I would have hogged them all.
Not too crunchy, obviously.
