I tried being arrogant for awhile, but I found it was too humbling for my liking. šŸ˜› And um, Mister **Wildfire** MM\*\*, if you find the members of this board arrogant, it is possible that you take yourself a little too seriously. If you survive banning until the end of your guest membership, Iā€™d be surprised to see you pony up the cash to join. However, should I be mistaken, please. please. please use preview (or perveiw, if you prefere). ---

Calling people arrogant in the pit while humorous is not very offensive. His other threads may not bet great but they are only worth commenting on because of this thread. ---

I was cooking a mess of green beans yesterday. First, I sauteed some diced white onions, garlic, and diced up bacon. Then I added the green beans, fresh btw, and about a cup of chicken broth, letting it all cook together for a few minutes on a fairly high flame, stirring quite a bit. Then, I added enough water to cover the beans and let it simmer covered for about 2 hrs. Man, them was some GOOD green beans! I had a pork roast and potatos already cooking in the crock pot, so I had me and old style, heart attack, great tasting dinner last night. To stave off the hunger pangs while I waited the last bit for the green beans to cook, I had me a nice little salad with some fresh tomatos I got at a roadside produce shack. Shouldā€™ve done some squash, too, you know? ---

> [@NoClueBoy](#): > > Shouldā€™ve done some squash, too, you know? Summer squash and zuccini cubed and sauteed with butter, garlic and herbs or butternut squash loaded down with butter and brown sugar and baked (marshmallows?)? IMHO either of these choices would contribute to both the overall extasy of a good pork roast with fresh green beens and the impending cardiovascular distress. ---
