    Is that why you look so slovenly?

    Was there ever any doubt there was no such dish? I make
    them frequently tossed with oil and a generous addition
    of a spice blend leaning heavily toward garlic powder.

    Did you know that you were also 25% Slovenian?

    No central European ancestry here, just western Europe.

    I'm probably close to a quarter Slovenian from my maternal grandmother.

    Roasted potatoes with garlic?? Yum, but be careful... It's a slippery
    slope from there to making "Sweet and not so hot beans" for dinner every
    night ;)

    Morton's Natures Seasoning with extra granulated garlic
    and onion powder thrown into the bottle. Shake well to
    combine and then generously sprinkle onto quartered and
    oiled potatoes. Toss using hands to get well coated and
    roast. Mmmmmmmmm

    I do baked beans occasionally but they're never hot
    with spice/pepper but definitely on the slight sweet
    side. Another mmmmmmmmm.
