The recipe makes six servings. My math's not perfect today, but that
looks like about a tablespoon of the "evil" onions. I'm thinking all
that stress would cause more damage than that.

Here's Alton "Hottie" Brown's Green Bean Casserole recipe -- with
"real" onions. Maybe between the two, a more "acceptable" recipe?

That looks good....but what is panko?

Hi, Gill --

All I know (without peeking) is that they're a type of Japanese bread
crumb. I went ahead and Googled "panko bread crumbs" and still
couldn't tell you more than that, though there's plenty of peeps
talking about 'em! LOL!

Apparently, they're lighter, for one thing, and made from wheat bread
(or at least from wheat flour). I've never used them myself, and
wouldn't even know where to find 'em at the grocery -- but amazon.com
sells 'em! :-D

You can find Panko at an Asian market. Mine come in a bag.

Well, I have several cans of 4-C Carb-careful crumbs ( they are being
discontinued, so I bought a case!!). They will probably work just fine.

My new daughter-in-law is from Japan , so i will check with her. It will
be fun, because she and my son will spend their first American
Christmas, as a married couple, here , with us.

They aren't kids ( 43 and 38) but a first marriage for each one.

Bryan,

I'm gonna be a straight shooter he bull****. Sir, you are a true addict.
Sorry to be offensive, but I gotta call it the way I see it.

I'm not about to cook a turkey this year, at least not a whole fricken'

WAY too much. The outside is like candy. You know, you can get
pretty darned small turkeys, and you can order one fresh, never
frozen. Which reminds me...

There are also ducks, and don't forget about baked chicken.

What's a good simple thing to cook other than steak and eggs? I have
a slow cooker, if that helps.

Steak and eggs are everyday staples. We're talking Thanksgiving.

Also, there's a lot of carby crap that goes along with tg, mashed potatoes
and so forth. What are some of the things you guys make, especially the
simple stuff? Also, what's a good mashed potato substitute make out of
cauliflower?

That cauliflower stuff is repulsive.

How was this cauliflower mashed prepared? Lots of us here eat it all
the time and think it tastes fine. I wouldn't say it's as good as
real mashed potatoes, but I think it tastes good. I've served it to
people not on LC, including kids, and they liked it and couldn't guess
what it really was made from.

My newest version is to add some shredded cheddar and chives/scallions
added at the end.

I find cauliflower, like I said, repulsive, One thing that could make
it worse is scallions.

So, I take it then the answer is you've never even tried faux mashed
potatoes made from cauliflower. Which is fine. But then you
shouldn't go around proclaiming them to be repulsive, because as I
pointed out, done correctly, they have little resemblance to
cauliflower. I've had picky kids eat them. They couldn't tell what
they were made from and thought they were some kind of mashed potato.

NO! NO! NO!
Any LCer should know better than to eat that trans fatty crap!

French's French Fried Onions (or Durkee's for that matter) are not fit
for human consumption.

NO!

I agree and have no problem with your recipe using the canned fried
onions. It's a tiny amount in a recipe typically used only for
Thanksgiving or Christmas, not a diet staple. No reason to get all
worked up over it.

I like mashed cauliflower a lot, but I could never mistake it for mashed
potatoes. It simply doesn't have the same starchiness, nor does it
cause the surge of "contentment" neurotransmitters like potatoes do.
Maybe if I were a kid who still had great insulin sensitivity, and my
brain were already wired up from the other carbs I'd been eating all
day, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
