  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2 1/4   c            Water
     3/4   c            White Vinegar
   2       tb           Sugar
   1       tb           Crushed Mustard Seeds
   4       md           Garlic Cloves, Thinly Sliced
   3                    Bay Leaves
   1 1/2   ts           Salt
   1 1/2   ts           Tabasco Pepper Sauce
   1       lb           Trimmed Green Beans

  Zydeco Green Beans is actually a redundancy.  The
  exuberant music of Louisiana's black French-speaking
  Creoles is called zydeco, an idiomatic phonetic
  version of les haricots, French for snap beans.  Serve
  these green beans as a relish, or as "stirrers" for
  Bloody Marys.
  ~------------------------------------------------------
  ~----------------- In a large saucepan, stir together
  the water, vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds, garlic, bay
  leaves, salt and Tabasco sauce.  Bring to a boil,
  reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.  Add
  the beans.  Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, until
  tender-crisp.  Arrange the beans in a shallow dish and
  cover them completely with the vinegar mixture.  Cover
  and refrigerate overnight.  Serve cold.
