Do you like Lima Beans? Or Yams (Sweet Potatoes)?  

Should be ready in about a half hour. But I can warm it up in the microwave if you're late.

I just love Sweet Potatoes, too.

I shall get my broom out and warm it up.
May be a tad late, but gee you need not even heat the sweet potato for me.

Oh, I just love it all mashed up, with loads of margarine and salt and pepper. Yummmmmmy

Oops forgot to let you know.
Hold the margarine on mine please, it makes me sick.
I will have mine with just salt and pepper thanks.

Okey, dokey, Goodie.

Lima beans are light green, come in a can.......um,,,,,

In the UK a 'butter bean' as they are called there.

They are sold dried and can be rehydrated or are sold canned as I bought them here.

Does that help any?

I can't upload pics yet or I would give you one.

They are kidney shaped, but flatter.

I would almost call thema potatoe type of vegetable, because they are so meaty and filling.

Sorry, P1ke for being so scattered. Must still be stoned from 420 earlier.

I know what a butter bean is. Good in stews etc. Thank you Annie, I've learned something new tonight. I'd stick with the Sweet Potatoes still.

Limas, aka butter beans, are much better if cooked from a dried state rather than canned. I know it takes longer most of the time up to 2 hours, but the taste is incredibly delicious compared to the can. I add lots of cracked black pepper and instead of salt some chicken bouillon granules. Or better yet cook them in chicken stock. Now this can be canned. I just forgo the salt... It gives the beans amazing flavor.

LMAO just my 2 cents here!

Thanks Angel, that was a useful 2 cents worth. I always have chicken stock in (I make my own - such a housewife. LOL). I shall give it a go.

That sounds rather tasty, Angel, thank you for that suggestion. I will try them that way next time. Mmmmmm, pepper is good and I think it can also be somewhat of an aphrodisiac, too. So killing 2 birds with 1 stone. hee hee

Sure, why not. I don't make people eat things they don't like. How about I make you some regular white potatoes and mash them up and put gravy on them.

Sounds good to me.

Thanks for coming to my discussion. (chomp, chomp, munch, slurp!)

Ismokedsome at 420 and then again just a few minutes ago. Company showed up, so had to be polite. Trouble spelling ,,,

COuld it be that the 'magical weed fairy' has just deposited her weekly ration to me. Mysteriously, a couple of little teeny cigarettes appear magically almost every Friday. It's strange, but true. lol
Did you see the biglongword. haa haaah a aahha

I'm considering being polite to myself this evening. Hmmmm.... I have so many brownies... but no one to share them with. :( **wishes Annie lived closer to London**

Well, it is looking like I may actually make it out your way in July this year. For a few days, too. So, maybe we will get that chance. Who knows, eh?

Ah yes, I remember you mentioning something about that around 420, in another discussion. You definitely need to let me know when, and maybe you, me, and Jeff can get together for a brownie night.

Well, I just committed to going to Ilderton on July 17th - 19th. How long of a drive is it from there to your place.

So I now have to consider sleeping arrangements for that time frame.

Maybe I could just throw a mattress in the back of my little S-10 pick up with the cap on and park in your driveway or backyard. That way, when I come back each evening, we can party up a storm. Well, at least I would have someone to socialize with instead of all the stuffies that I will be stuck with all day. It would definitely be a welcome addition to the trip.

My first problem is telling the husband I am going. He may not want to come because he would be bored at the event I am going to. But if he knew someone out that way, he would just go and hobknob with them until I was done each day. It will be interesting to see what happens. I may be able to bring my Wiccan girlfriend, but not sure.

Me, too.

The meat pies aren't that crusty, though and packed with solid (ground) meat. So thin crust.

I almost considered them as a potatoe serving, if you know what I mean. Yeah, starch.

And yes, (munch, munch, slurp) burp! Very good it is.

Hate them that much, eh? Well, of course, we'll make you tacos then. No problem. Can't have anyone going hungry here on the farm. Never a shortage of food.

Thanks for your opinion, kbourgerie. You are a welcome addition to any discussion.

Yep, I really like sweet potatoes, too. But I don't think that many people like to eat Lima Beans. They are more of an addition to a soup or stew, sort of a potatoe starch substitute. But I think they should be high in protein.

I don't think they would have been one of my choices as a child, when my acceptance of food was often based as you say, "it doesn't look like something I would like, so I don't eat it". But as I age, I seem more willing to try new or different things. At least once anyway.

But I actually enjoyed them as a vegetable side dish with the meal.

Thanks for responding LilYorkieBear. Glad to see you.

I love them the way my mom makes them at Thanksgiving, with marshmallows melted on top. Lima beans just never looked appetizing to me. If I find them in a stew or a soup, I am always pulling them out and putting them to the side. All beans are high in protein so Lima Beans are very good for one to eat. I will say this though...I have grown a plant from a Lima Bean. (lol)

Interesting. So we will make you a different vegetable, or maybe a salad then. How's that?

Thanks for coming to my discussion skinny. I appreciate it.

I would have made some corn or any other veggie but those too. Maybe a salad?? That sounds kind of good right now. :)

Ahhhh, someone like me. Yes, I also like both of them, but think I am in the minority. This discussion will tell me though.

Thanks so much for responding. Pass the green beans, too, will ya?
