Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 3/4 pounds green beans -- trimmed, strings removed
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 cup walnuts -- coarsely chopped
2 1/2 tablespoons green onions -- freshly chopped
salt -- to taste
garlic -- to taste
3 slices cooked bacon -- crumbled

In a 4 1/2 quart saucepan, bring 2 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add
green beans. When the water returns to a boil, cook green beans for 5
minutes. Drain water from beans. Set aside. In the same saucepan, add
butter, cream, walnuts, scallions, garlic and salt. Heat to a small boil,
stirring constantly. Heat until slightly thick. Return beans to pan and
heat thoroughly. Top with bacon just before serving.
To add a bit of Christmas color, if desired, sprinkle a few chopped
pimientos on top around the bacon. It adds only an extra trace of carbs.

'In this world Elwood, you must be oh-so smart or
oh-so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart.... I
recommend pleasant. You may quote me."
