re the green bean casserole - you’re not missing much - I despise the stuff, but it does seem to be a staple this time of year, if you are to believe the media. Although if I ever did try it, it would have to be from [this recipe.](http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/best-ever-green-bean-casserole-recipe/index.html)

Never deny the power of cream of mushroom soup + canned fried onions. Never.

Heh. It’s actually my go-to recipe with leftover turkey. But I was going for matching other people. 😃
