  The classic green bean casserole has long been a staple on holiday tables, with its rich blend of flavors and satisfying crunch, thanks in large part to the iconic French fried onions. However, if you find yourself in a pinch or simply want to experiment with alternative ingredients, there are several creative substitutes that can elevate your green bean casserole to new heights. 1. **Homemade Onion Strings:**    Embrace the DIY spirit by making your own crispy onion strings.

Cunningham asserted that the incident occurred after he raised concerns about child poverty in the constituency. During the parliamentary exchange, Cunningham asked, "Why are 34% of children in my constituency living in poverty?" After Prime Minister's Questions, Cunningham made a point of order in the Commons, stating that Cleverly, the Home Secretary, added his input by reportedly saying, "because it's a shithole."

The speeding vehicle hit a curb, then a guardrail that sent the vehicle airborne and into a secondary screening area, the sources said.

The crash occurred after the couple left the casino, the sources told CNN.

Kathy Hochul said. “I want to be very, very clear to Americans and New Yorkers, at this time there is no indication of a terrorist attack,” the governor told r
