Sounds nice! I'm glad you were able to adapt it to your tastes.

One of the things I discovered when I came here was a recipe for Green
Bean Casserole. Mom had written it down and taped it to the inside of a
kitchen cupboard. (Yes, it's the one that calls for cream of mushroom
soup.) The recipe is still there on the inside cupboard door. I don't
have the heart to take it down.

Oddly, Green Bean Casserole was not something she ever served us, at
Thanksgiving or any other time.
