Beans and Toast

So I may have slagged off the Canadian side of my family regarding the turkey in my last post.  I can only offer this as evidence that holidays were not a pure culinary disaster.  This is in fact the king of holiday sides.  No matter the dish, no matter the holiday, this is a requirement.  In fact it was once remarked by an 73 year old woman, “this tastes like winning the Nobel prize for chemistry while at the apex of an orgasm.”  I’m pretty sure that old lady never had an orgasm, but it’s certainly not an inaccurate description.
