That may have been the first time I've ever done that. It was something
that occurred to me while I was looking at the freezer wondering what I
wanted.

Once in a while it's kind of nice not to have to kill for dinner.

I feel the same way. Although I really love corn and baby limas together,
otherwise known as succotash, at least that's what they used to call it.

Same guy I always have been - Did I forget to mention the White is Boudines
sourdough from San Francisco and the Bologna is Veal Bologna from
Schreiners smoked meats in Montrose CA.

& Kraft Mac N Cheese is just comfort food. It's been a long time since I
made it with Campbell's soup and crushed potato chips on the top maybe it's
time. to make a tuna casserole with crushed potato chips .

It's best made with hand cut corn kernals and baby limas. I add butter and
cream, a light sprinkle of thyme, and cook until the cream has thickened a
bit. I've never had it made with actual "creamed corn". It can be made
with frozen corn, but it's not as good.

This is a good recipe...

2 cups fresh lima beans (about 1 pound) (frozen is okay)
4 cups fresh corn cut from cob (about 6 ears)
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Cook lima beans in boiling salted water about 15 minutes or till almost
tender; drain. Add corn, butter, whipping cream, salt, and pepper; mix
well. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, 7 to 10 minutes, or until
corn is done.

You're a baby killer, that's what you are! Those poor corn and pea
plants were just trying to propagate, and you ate their babies!
