What's For Dinner?

Honey Mustard Turkey Tips with a side of Green Bean Almondine. Man, I love the ready-to-go meals section of my local Shaw's. Its a lazy bachelor's dream come true.

While buying this earlier tonight, I figured some vegetables would be the healthy thing to do, so I picked up the green bean almondine. The problem, though, is that I have no idea what an almondine is. So, for any other cuisinely-challenged folks out there, here's what almondine is:
Almondine is a culinary term indicating a garnish of almonds. The French term is amandine, but the 'almondine' spelling is probably more common in America.
I feel so much smarter now. Don't you?
