Thanks for the recipe.  My mother made it more like your grandmother's
recipe, except no cheese.  I rarely eat this except on Thanksgiving.
We grow a lot of green beans and we often use home-canned green beans.
This year Mom experimented with blanching and freezing the beans and
that worked better than expected.

I am curious about the National Cooking picnic.  I seem to recall that
you mentioned going to one in 2007.  Who organizes these picnics?
Where are they normally located?

I noticed that you have posted many recipes from recipesource.com, but
they are often cleaned up and in a more up-to-date format.  I've using
your recipes, as i find them, to update my copy of recipesource.com.
What is your involvement with that web site?
