Thursday's #515: One week closer

[Lady's Human]

Is there any cake left? Or did it all get scoffed up last night? Sounds like a goood breakfast to me. (now that the kids are off at school!)

[Karen]

It's no longer warm, but there is some left, have a chunk!

I have had a hankering for some lima beans with ham and a crusty bread to sop up the broth with.


Anyone?

[Lady's Human]

Ham? Check.

Crusty bread? Check.

The lima beans you can have for yourself. They're the one "vegetable" I refuse to touch since childhood.

[Karen]

I can vouch for that!

Soup, I'll have - and some nice crusty bread sounds marvelous!

Hokay.....split pea it is!!!!

Karen,

Crusty bread with REAL butter!

Done.

I have to agree with you - YUK.

But have you ever tried baking them? Make a sauce like you would for regular "baked beans" - molasses, brown sugar, tomato sauce or a mild BBQ sauce, chopped onion and toss them in the crock pot or oven. Delish! I detest limas any other way but this.

I don't think he'd even bother to eat them that way!

Oddly warm weather today, most of the remaining ground snow evaporated in heavy fog, but as I am now able to eat peppers, I was very excited, as that now means stewed tomatoes are just fine! Made a whole mess of bowtie pasta with stewed tomatoes, oregano and basil, with parmesan cheese on top - anyone want some?

It's very exciting when I can eat things I have had to avoid for so long!

We were fogged in here all day yesterday - it never did clear out. This morning it was 61 at 5 a.m. - unreal for mid-January. Temps dropping thru the day tho, and the 10 day forecast has us back to more normal temps in the 30's and 40's - still not real cold. I'm still waiting for that big snowstorm!

Coffee anyone?
