So, when I was grocery shopping earlier this week, a woman came up to me in the coffee/tea/baking aisle. She asked if I knew where the crispy fried onions were, the kind you sprinkle on top of a green bean casserole. Before I could respond, she said:
I ask because you look like someone who would make a green bean casserole.
And before I could respond to that, she added:
Oh, never mind. They’re bad for you anyway.
And then wandered off.
I was going to suggest the condiments aisle. I did see her later, crispy fried onions in hand. So I’m assuming: One, she did locate someone who actually has made a green bean casserole, and two, decided the health risks were worth it.
Also, this week, I attended an author business summit. Actually, I’m still attending it because it was recorded, and I couldn’t attend in real time due to work. It’s one of the things I’m looking forward to doing during the long Thanksgiving weekend. There’s at least three hours’ worth of video left, along with some homework.
I’m pretty sure crispy fried onions won’t be involved.
Writing Wrongs 
How interesting! What could be this woman’s idea of the ideal green bean casserole maker? And why couldn’t she wait for your responses to her questions? Do you think that once she started talking to you, she decided that she had accosted the wrong kind of person? Someone possibly more nutritionally evolved? Hmmm…
She should have accosted me. I ALWAYS make green bean casserole. In face, I even buy EXTRA crispy fried onions, just to have on hand. You know, for emergencies…
Hope you have a great weekend, catching up on your author’s business summit. Happy Thanksgiving!
