I would pick the ham out, and Mom would force me to eat the beans before I could be excused.
I was such a dumbass.. The lima beans tasted WORSE after the Ham was gone! LoL
I must admit...the Tina Fey/Sarah Palin skit on SNL right now is pretty funny.
Well, we never even got ham in our lima beans. Just butter.
But my brother and I could sometimes stack nine or ten of ‘em on a regular fork. Mom would get kind of exasperated, but Dad would sometimes sneak and compete with us.
