How dare you even *hint* at cream of mushroom soup? (teasing) Obviously no
one in the US eats vegetables without canned soup

Green beans are on the list of vegetables for my Thanksgiving dinner, along
with spinach and broccoli. I haven't decided which green vegetable yet.

The rest of the menu is roasted cornish hen, cornbread dressing, roasted
butternut squash and sweet potatoes. I've decided to boil and mash the
sweet potatoes along with white potatoes (Harvest mashed). And just split
and roast the squash, brushed with butter and sprinkled with salt & pepper,
like an acorn squash. I'll make some rolls or biscuits to go with it.

The great thing about not having to cook for a crowd is flexibility. I can
change the menu on a whim
