I'm on my way! I love catfish and I love lima beans.

On another note, I also love butter beans. I looked for months and
months around here. I used to be able to get them here. I finally
had to order them from Prime. Fortunately I didn't have to order a
case of them. I mean, who doesn't carry butter beans?

We had another stir fy, something I had not been doing much for a long
time. It was delicious. I sliced up some celery,onion, red pepper, cut
carrots into matchsticks, trimmed snow peas and thawed a pound of
shrimp. I used a cup of chicken broth, made a corn starch slurry and
added some soy sauce and Sricachi. It was delicious, probably the best
stir fry I ever made.

There are people who will tell you limas and butter beans are the same
thing. I don't care about specific varietial differences. Limas are
green. Butter beans are tan or yellow. They don't taste the same to
me. At least you didn't have to order a case of them.

As I understand it, the small green limas are simply immature large
white Limas which turn yellow when cooked and are known, at least, in
the south-eastern U.S., as butter beans. Yum! One of my favorite meals
crockpotted with chunks of lean red ham carved off the bone and eaten
with chopped onions and chili peppers and lot's of Trappey's Red Devil
hot sauce along with a slab of cornbread with butter melting on top.
We po' folk heah but I think of it as a meal fit for a king!

Can I have my slice of cornbread split like a biscuit and a large gob of
butter spread between the split, please?

Yes, you may! They usually come out about the size of a quarter. I forgot
to mention the cloves of minced garlic. First, I start the quick soak of
the beans in a large covered pot while the chunks of ham are simmering in
the crockpot. After the ham has simmered for an hour or more, I pour the
contents of the crockpot into a large colander and run hot water over it.
This gets rid of a lot of the salt and some of the grease. After the ham
has cooled enough to handle, I remove most of the fat and a lot of the
"skin". It then goes back into the crockpot along with water and brought
back up to a simmer. The beans are dumped into the colander, rinsed real
well and added to the crockpot along with chopped onion, chilis, the
minced garlic and whatever else I might want to add. I then slow simmer
everything for two and a half to three hours. The longer it simmers the
soupier it gets as the beans break down. I like a lot of whole beans so
I don't over do it. Butter is then added to a large bowl followed by
ladles of the contents of the crockpot and everything topped off with a
generous amount of Trappey's. Works for me!

No corn bread for me. But, I learned at my mother's knee to eat that
kind of beans spread on buttered bread. Now that's good eats.

We had baked chicken cordon bleu. Green beans on the side.

Tonight will be grilled flank steak (since it will be a balmy 32 F at
dinnertime). Preceded by salad. Accompanied by a starch yet to be named.

In UK, broad beans are quite different, and distinct from, butter
beans.(I love and use both).

We buy (or grow) broad beans fresh in pods in summer, and frozen(out
of the pod) in winter.

I buy butter beans all year round either dried or canned.

Oh, then steak fries !! That would be great with a char-grilled steak cooked out on the patio. The grill will keep you warm out there.

I don't deep fry at home. The closest we would come is oven fries (or
Tater Tots).

If the old ball-and-chain feels energetic, he'll make home fries. Otherwise
it'll be bread drizzled with EVOO.

Probably leftovers for me, unless the gardener eats them while I'm out. I
have chili and a dish of ground beef, veggies and rice.

I've seen Lima beans here but not butter. I will look when I go to the store
today.

Shit, I'm too old to keep up.

In your last saga, I thought you and gardener had a big fight,
ending it.

You really should take Popeye in. He is an excellent crotch
groomer, and he can get rid of them mexicans on 15 min notice.

The gardener is still living off you, I thought he left months ago.
