Thursday #320-Soup to Nuts?

[RICHARD]

I also love Lima Beans.

However, instead of something murky to drink, would you please fix me an Amalfi Cocktail?

Yes!

1-1/2 oz citrus vodka
1/2 oz Limoncé Limoncello
1/2 oz fresh lime juice
2 sprigs lemon thyme or regular thyme

Put vodka, Limoncé, fresh lime juice and the leaves from one sprig of thyme into a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously. Strain and pour into chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a sprig of thyme.

And a bowl of beans.

DONE!


Happy,

I had a huge piece of pork loin that I boned. I set the bone to cook with water, onion and garlic. I let it sit over night then, took off the small pieces of meat still stuck on the bone. Today I did a quick boil of the beans, rinsed then drained them. I took the pork broth and tossed in a diced potato, diced onion, diced bellpepper, S and P....

Real butter, cannot go wrong there!

DONE!

Sounds yummy, but I was thinking more of this recipe -

4 flavored vodkas
blue curacao
mango and strawberry purees
Frozen and powerful . . . .


At least that's the way they make it near Narragansett Beach.

Oh, I love Lima beans too. Smoked pork ,Lima beans with crusty French
bread & butter sounds great. Perfect comfort food for rainy,cool weather.

Sounds great, as the food here has no allergens! I miss soup, frankly.

And soup is the most basic food. I am sorry you have to be soo careful...But, that said? Bring your bowl over!

DONE!

Liz,

You grab your favorite bowl/cup, butter up some bread and sit down at the table wrapped in the throw off of the couch?

DONE!

Grace,

Only if you promise to give me your car keys.....The Malfi recipe I got off the 'net. For a minute there I thought I was pouring Tony Soprano's therapist!


DONE!


LP,

LOL, cook like a Texan? I am flattered, But, like Texas, I'd have to be HUGE.

I barely fit an XLL.

Two bowls, two drinks and a fire extinguisher.

When David shows up you came change assignement?


Gini can vouch for me about the weather, I am sure she really hates the trip in the morning to get to her office!

At least that's the way they make it near Narragansett Beach.

Where do you live? I grew up on the Narragansett Bay-that sounds like home! I also used to frequent a place called the Narragansett Cafe, but...

In any case, Richard I LOVE limas but I have never had them with pork, either - it sounds good to me, and your drink recipe sounds perfect!!

Orc, serve some of that up and try not to wear too much!

[smokey the elder]

It's so danged cold and rainy here that I want to make a New England staple: corn chowder. One batch full vegetarian (this does have cream) and one carnivore with bacon and shrimp!

I'll do some carnivore, in exchange for a drink?

DONE!


PM,
Sweat pants!

I was really surprised at the flavor of the soup-I did put a tad too much salt into it though...I bought a ham steak and used that to make some pea soup a month ago....It was a Farmer John brand product, but the meat was rubbery...So I thought to try lima beans and some pork!

One bowl and a drink...

And a b-day cake!


DONE!


LOH,

A brownie in exchange for a Mulled? And some Mushroom soup!

I am done mulling!

DONE!

Last night I was out to pick up the paper at 4 a.m. the sky was totally clear and I thought we'd get some sun.....it's cloudy this morning!

C&S,

A 'mulled'?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulled_wine

It's a really neat way to drink wine and the same can be done to cider!

Rice salad?

DONE!

CM,
It has been miserable, cold.

One mulled cider? DONE!

Hi, sorry I'm late, but life got in the way. I'm not usually a fan of lima beans, but cooking them with pork does sound petty good. I'll get the ceement mixer going (I was wondering, can you mull a slushie?). Orc, if you're done flinging lima beans around, I can use your help. There will be NO flinging slushies!

[KYS]

Count me in.
I have never had lima beans with pork.
Always a first!
The weather is sure crappy. I don't remember June being this glum.
At least ROcky is enjoying the cool weather.
