Well, not over here. I never had green bean casserole until I went to the
mainland for my brother-in-law's funeral. It was a Thanksgiving/remembrance
type deal. This lit a spark in my younger son who started making big batches
of green bean casserole for parties. This inspired my daughter and older
son's girlfriend to start making this dish. I like my daughter's and son's
recipe better because they use canned beans and canned soup to make theirs.
Hee hee.

We had eaten dinner at the daughter's house. She and her kids made some meat
pies that her late dad liked. That was the first time I saw meat pies like
that and it inspired me to make my own. It's funny how these thing ripple
outwards like that.

It was a most memorable trip. My wife's brothers told the story of how they
picked up B.Dylan hitchhiking and the amazing adventure they had. My
sister-in-law read a letter by her late brother requesting a photo made by
Ansel Adams of his aunt dancing with a bear. Their aunt took them camping
and it was there that they met this famous photographer. As usual, the
brothers had no idea who the guy was. He must have been quite smitten with
their aunt. The letter is a hoot and I'm trying to get my sister-in-law to
transcribe it. I've never seen this aunt/bear photo. Maybe one day...

All good) Now, about those meat pies ... ? <g>
