I'm going to let DH broach the topic. He'll see them before I do, probably.

No matter how many restaurants or picnics or times they eat here, there's no
way to avoid going there. And these end up being the type of invitations
where if this weekend isn't, then how about next weekend? The one after?
There's no way to get out of it completely.

But yeah, I'll be avoiding the green beans. Right now, the thought of them
makes me a little queasy.
