Bean Casserole
I’ve been staying with my son and his lovely wife for the past two weeks, enjoying their spacious yard and pleasant company. Nick & Sara don’t like to cook, so I am having a good time feeding them. Nick is a picky eater, and when I told him the casserole I planed on making for them had lima beans in it, he turned up his nose. I don’t think Sara was overly impressed, either…
To be honest, I had the same reaction when I first saw this recipe. The combo of so many different kinds of beans, along with the maple syrup and brown sugar, rather turned me off. Believe me when I say I am glad I took the plunge and tried it. I think you will enjoy this as much as we did. The recipe got rave reviews from both Sara & Nick…
Enjoy…
Peace,

You also have started a blog called Everyday Citizen, but, Charlie I think you should change the name of that blog just in the interest of being a good neighbor and Internet Citizen.
There is a site with the registered domains of everydaycitizens.com and everydaycitizen.com that is called the The Everyday Citizen and has four trademarked names with disclaimers on every page.
I know you are a good guy, so, please change the name of your new blog so it’s not in conflict with the other popular site….
PS. I like your recipes.
