--------  ------------  --------------------------------    
  15 1/2  ounces        French-style green beans --         
                                                            
   1      head          iceberg lettuce                     
                        red food coloring                   
   6      tablespoons   almonds -- sliced                   
                                                            
	Heat the beans in their liquid according to the directions on the can.  Wash and dry 
the lettuce and arrange the leaves on a serving platter.  Pour the beans and liquid into a
glass bowl.  Add red food coloring, drop by drop, until the liquid turns the color of blood.
Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.  Using a slotted spoon, remove the
veins and place them in a veinlike pattern on top of the leaves.  Sprinkle almonds over
the beans for and added bony crunch and flavor. Penny Halsey (ATBN65B).
