Good call. I still diligently push them around on the plate into their own condemned pile when presented with them in a dish. My excuse, when questioned, is that they give me the heebee geebees. Being sent to my room no longer carries the shame that it once did.
PS, who has their black eyed peas soaking?
Nothing incites bodily violence quicker than a Duke fan turning in your direction and saying 'scoreboard.'
I love lima beans. I will be eating some (in place of collard greens cause the store didn't have any) on New Year's Day with my black-eyed peas.
Look. Lima, butter and black eyed peas are 3rd rate beans. The hierarchy is pinto, black, green, white and great northern. Any other bean is just ok to substandard. If we can all agree to this I think we can do a lot to heal this nation.
Weezie is an absolute genius. I would like to subscribe to her newsletter.
And the OPK bean acronym was TOP TIER. He wins the thread for the day. Let's knock off and pick back up tomorrow.
Since lima beans are named for Lima, Peru from whence they originated, shouldn't they be "Lee-muh" beans and not "Lie-ma" beans? Or am I just saying it wrong?
I have a meeting with a consortium of top GNALBGA producers this afternoon and damn, it would hurt my chances of getting the contract if I screw that part up.
Oh, and would it be the same in Spanish? Asking, y'know, for me.
I was going to subscribe to your newsletter before I saw "black eyed peas." Swap them out for a kidney bean and I will support your cause.
I put kidney, lima, butter, and garbanzo beans in the same category of "too grainy."
And let's not even discuss the topic of pears.
A perfectly ripe pear is exquisite.
Unfortunately, that's really about a 15 minute window.
But damn, when you hit it you hit it.
Upon reflection, I believe I used kidney beans in my chili. Lima beans kinda suck.
Anyway, sorry.
