Afternoon.

Respect a Lima Bean today, Darks.

[JustAmy]

Hi, OESY ..... I found another easy way to Respect the Lima Bean today .....

LIMA BEAN HOT DISH

1 lb. hamburger
1/2 lb. salt pork
1 can peas
1 can tomatoes
1 can lima beans
Onion
Croutons

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brown hamburger and salt pork with chopped onion. Drain grease.

In casserole dish combine peas, tomatoes, lima beans, hamburger, salt pork, and onion; thicken with 3 tablespoons flour.

Bake for 1 1/2 hours. Top with croutons.

Good afternoon, Meekie. We are having wonderful weather but there is a possibility of rain this weekend. I'm sure it will be warm again next week and we will be complaining about the heat in another month. :)

Hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday.

[JustAmy]

LOL

Do I dare admit to liking lima beans?

[Victoria Delsoul]

Evening all.

Happy Lima Bean Respect Day, everybody.

Now if you're feeling miserable, if you're feeling blue,
Here's a little ditty that'll help to pull you through.
All the clouds will disappear and the grey skies turn to blue,
Just stick your finger in your ear and go ting-a-ling-a-loo.

Now suppose you've got a fowl pest, the gout and gooser's cough,
A severe attack of hiccoughs and your kneecaps just dropped off.
The surgeon said, "We'd operate, but the anesthetic's gone,"
You just look up and smile at him and say, "You carry on,

I'll stick my finger in my ear and go ting-a-ling-a-loo,
My finger in my ear and go ting-a-ling-a-loo.
I'll be just like Nelson at the Battle of Waterloo,
I'll stick my finger in my ear and go ting-a-ling-a-loo."

Now in '14 and in '39 war raised its ugly head,
The bombs they fell on England, and one fell on my shed.
But we fought and beat the Germans 'cause we knew just what to do,
We stuck our fingers in our ears and went ting-a-ling-a-loo.

Prince Phillip said, "Get your fingers out, and that cut me to the quick,
We got our fingers out, but that didn't do the trick.
So follow your true leaders with all your might and mane,
Be like Jenkins, Heath and Wilson and stick 'em back again.

Oh stick your finger in your ear and go ting-a-ling-a-loo,
Your finger in your ear and go ting-a-ling-a-loo.
Remember what old Gladstone said in 1892,
Stick your finger in your ear and go
[slowly] Ting-a-ling-a-loo.

Lima Beans..
When dried, they make nice slingshot ammo.
;-)

Good evening, Victoria. Hope you've had a great day today (and no, I'm not gonna eat any lima beans in honor of this "holiday!").

[DollyCali]

I like lima beans too.. dull & boring as they are (plain).. and good for sling shot? sure, if dry...

but as a boring vegetarian I don't add meat for flavor but do "other things"... lots of herbs/ spice..

One thing I do is saute garlic/onion in butter... make roux, then thin white sauce (w sour cream) and add heavy swiss cheese...throw in a handfull of slivered almonds & can of sliced waterchestnuts... put in casserole with more swiss cheese atop

get a lot of compliments on it..

big storm brewing here.. heavy winds. my two table umbrellas just headed up the street so I better chase them & get in Oliver who is out chasing raccoons away..(guarding the house?)

I will work a bit on my HTML while I have power.. It was out for w few hours again this afternoon...

such great posts, graphics here Amy.. you & the contributors are so great. I wish I had visited sooner.. and maybe someday will have time to catch up with prior threads..

[Darksheare]

We just had strong winds here, but light and sporadic rain.
Then it quit.
*????*

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi AC! I'm still tired and trying to catch up on my classes.

Hope your week is going well.

[Victoria Delsoul]

HI Dolly,

The white sauce sounds delicious. Good to see you.

[Alberta's Child]

Well, that's what you get for flying all over North America last weekend. LOL.

I can't wait for this week to end. It's been a chaotic mess with all kinds of meetings, field work, etc.

[Victoria Delsoul]

End of April is kinda hectic anyway. The good thing about it is the weather, which is improving daily so you should be smiling right now. Imagine doing what you just mentioned under cold, freezing conditions, LOL.

[Alberta's Child]

Well, thanks for putting things in the right perspective. LOL. But I think I'll wait until Friday evening before I start smiling TOO much!

[Victoria Delsoul]

OK. :-)

[JustAmy]

Good evening, DollyCali. Thank you.

Your lima bean casserole sounds great. Since I really like the lima bean flavor, I'm sure I will enjoy it.

With lots of pre-school homework, I haven't had as much time to spend on the threads as I would like. Hey .... there is a lot to coloring, cutting and pasting. :)

Hope you had a good day respecting the Lima Bean.

[JustAmy]

LOL ...... Thanks for the cute poem, Victoria.

Glad that you took time to Ting-a-ling-a-loo in tonight. :)

Did you have any butter beans today? My hubby had some fresh fava beans.

Hope you are having a good week.
