I am so happy to see that you are out and about, Pattie. I wish I could have joined you to peruse the market for green beans (which I like) and the quilted items by your sister. I love handmade items like that. Do you mean bowl cozies? I bought a couple from Amazon, and I use them for hot soups and ice-cold ice cream. I'd buy some from her for Christmas presents if I was there with you, Pattie.

BTW...how do you make your green beans? I love them the way my mom made them with a spoonful of bacon grease added. I like my green beans soft too not crunchy like so many places serve them. Sometimes I add a can of diced tomatoes seasoned with basil and garlic. Added bacon bits is another favorite. How do you make them? I'll be they are really good as you seem like you are a good cook.
