Starting this one early. I will be volunteering my time and contributing my annual donation and cooking for and feeding the Homeless at the local shelter.
You go ahead and talk about what YOU are doing for YOUR family. Do not be concerned about those that can't afford a meal.

Holiday Punch

• Orange
• Cranberries
• Pomegranate seeds
• Cranberry juice
• Orange juice
• Pomegranate juice
• Lemon-lime soda
• Rosemary (for garnish)
• Ice
• (optional) 4 oz. Ipecac Syrup

Step 1: You can mix everything except for the soda and ice cubes ahead of time. Add the soda and ice just before serving so it doesn’t start to go flat. For best results, make sure the ingredients are cold when you mix them together so the ice lasts longer and doesn’t water down the punch.

Step 2: Add pomegranate seeds, orange slices, cranberries, and a sprig or two of rosemary to garnish (for sophistication, of course).
Step 3: Get ready! (optional)

Not if it was real Shirataki.

 

[Tunafish]

Not if it was real Shirataki.

SCATKING,
Real Shirataki have calories.
97% water and 3% glucomannan fiber.
Now I know why you are interested in these noodles.
That 3% is not digestible.
The glucomannan in shirataki noodles may cause mild digestive issues, such as loose stools, bloating, and flatulence
That is what you are all about

 

[Unkotare]

....
Real Shirataki have [sic] calories.
....

Nope.

 

[Tunafish]

Nope.

Yep

Since a typical 4-ounce (oz), or 113-g, serving of shirataki noodles contains about 1–3 g of glucomannan, it's essentially a calorie-free, carb-free food.

The hypoglycemic effects are potentially dangerous to patients with diabetes. Glucomannan has been linked in case reports to cholestatic hepatitis and occupational asthma. Minor adverse effects are normally GI related and include diarrhea, flatulence, abdominal discomfort, and bloating.

Green Bean Casserole is delicious and I highly recommend it for Christmas.
So many recipes. Use your favorite.
Consider jazzing it up with diced Reaper or Ghost Peppers.

I can post a basic Green Bean Casserole recipe if you ask me to do so.
