"Dear God, what is that thing?" The reveal!

I'm assuming you know where that quote comes from. The Princess Bride, of course--the most quotable movie on earth.

I had no idea what a kerfluffle my silly giveaway would cause. I had bribes, begs, and on-the-sly emailed guesses. I fear this will be a very anti-climactic reveal, but since all of my blog posts are, at least I'm consistent.

The weird item (refresher pic below):

A gimpy little green bean!

My eldest, to my foodie chagrin, will only eat canned green beans. It is like a stab to the heart every time she requests them and finds them delicious (as long as I don't *gasp* add salt or attempt to treat them with anything delicious!). When I opened the can and dumped them into the bowl for nuking, this little guy fell out.

No winners. I know you're all crying into your bowls of green beans, but it'll be OK.

  3. Now I'm glad I didn't win! Oh, wait was the prize better than green beans? Was it pecan pie? A girl can dream, right?

  6. Canned green beans = yum! Don't know why; but I love 'em. HOWEVER, please do NOT send that mutant thing which looks nothing like a green bean (What does the picture w/the can prove? That you buy green beans and blame it on E!)
