I am doing an Emeril Lagasse recipe for roasted green beans. Just the
trimmed beans, EVOO, kosher salt (am using kosher sea salt) and black pepper
(freshly ground of course). Mix, spread out on a parchment lined pan and
roast at 425 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes until crisp tender. Turn once
halfway.

I opted to try the pan lining paper. I can't personally see why this
couldn't be done on a foil lined pan or even in a plain pan if you don't
mind perhaps a little extra scrubbing. I just turned them. They look fine.
I fear I will be the only one who eats them though. My mom wanted me to
bring canned green beans. I was just sorta like... No! I am making some
sort of beans from fresh ones. I had really wanted to do bacon wrapped
bundles. But I guess this is better than canned.

Am also doing some baked apple slices. They started out low sugar but they
were not baking fast enough to suit me. I turned up the heat. They were
also getting a bit dry. I added a bit more brown sugar and a little water.
Still fairly low sugar.

Am waiting for those to get done so I can eat my dinner. Hummus and pita
and a small salad bar salad from Whole Foods.

Then I need to cook the Jacob's Cattle Trout Beans and the potato and onion
recipe. I only have to cook for 6 now so it would be as much work. I was
worried that I would have to do two pans of the potatoes because people can
eat a lot of those. They're that good!

Why not do this in a pan on the stove top, no need to light an oven...
that's the perfect stir fry dish... roasting green beens on their own
sounds stupid, will very likely turn out too dry/dehydrated.
What do you mean by kosher sea salt... all salt is kosher... but sea
salt would definitely not be acceptable for kashering and certainly
not for pickling/preserving. Who makes this "kosher sea salt"...
probably soak you like $20 a pound when you can buy a three pound box
of Diamond Crystal for less than a dollar a pound. Didja know that
sea salt is directly from the sea, *unrefined*, very good chance it
contains bits of used condoms and other bodily excretions, from gulls,
whales, and diseased humans. WTF would normal brained people want to
consume sea salt, may as well not bother with tap water, just scoop a
bucketful directly from the sea.

Well said, Sheldon. But ppl get this idea in their head that one thing is
better than other things. Sea salt is no healthier than regular plus the
pollution concern that you mentioned.

I'm still amazed that morons pay so much for bottled water when they can get
it right from their tap. At worst case, buy a Britta filter and make your
own "safer water."

They came out really well. The salt is from Real Salt. I love the flavor
it.

AFAIK I am not intolerant or allergic to any minerals. I have had metal
issues at times but not currently.

I'm glad to read that gulls and whales, assuming they are diseased along
with the diseased humans, are using condoms. Good reason to filter your
sea water.

I used to be one of those who only drank bottled water. I thought my
tap water had a funny taste. One day I decided to break that habit and
started chilling tap water in the fridge to drink. To my surprise it was
fine. As long as it's ice cold I have no problem with my tap water. I
think sometimes bottled water can become a "habit". I still like the
convenience for when outside doing yard work or to take along in the car.

I drink both. I mainly drink the bottled when I am out somewhere.

Apparently so. I used to think I had a nickel allergy. For a period of
about 2 years I couldn't wear any earrings at all. Every time I did, I got
a rash on my ears. I couldn't wear nylon ones either but at times I have
had issues with nylon causing a rash as well! I finally found a little
bottle of some stuff that had honey and wax and perhaps some other things in
it. It was for treating the posts/wires of the earrings. If I put that on
them, I could wear them with no problems. But if the earrings got too old,
they would still cause problems. So I used to replace my earrings every
couple of years. Actually the worst ones for me were the expensive ones.
For some reason I did better with cheap ones.

I also had trouble as a child wearing a watch. It would cause a rash under
the metal part of the watch. I haven't had that problem for many years now,
nor have I had a problem with most earrings. Once in a while I will get a
pair that causes a problem. I just toss them.

I like green beans cooked Southern style, what most folks would
consider way overcooked

Kosher has to do with the size/shape of the grains. I use Diamond
Crystal Popcorn & Nut grind as my table salt. No grittiness.

LOL. I like some of the impure salts, but I never use them as
ingredients or condiments. I like munching them straight.

I thought the point was that the food being cooked would stick to the
foil and readily as it would stick to the pan, whereas it doesn't stick
to the paper.
