You could use your hambone for limas, too. Just drop it in a pot of water, add the bone and a chopped onion, salt and pepper, maybe a teaspoon of baking soda to help cut down on the after-effects. Course, that’s a lot of beans for one person so you might want to consider inviting friends over. :) Have you tried the flash frozen beans? They taste awesome, and you can take out what you need and put the rest back in the freezer. Plus, they cook faster than dried. Pict-sweet is the variety we use.
My crowd likes to put crushed red pepper in their beans. Either that or they add hot pepper vinegar at the table. I just like to crumble my cornbread up in mine!
CHANGING GEARS ----------This is really neat......check it out................. Click on the link below and a playing card will appear on your screen...
wait a few moments for it to load,
then scroll down below the card and you will see a line that has a little red slider bar in it. Move the slider gradually to the right and stop and watch the show take place, then move it a little more to the right and stop and another show will take place and keep doing this 'til you are to the end.
The marvels of computer graphics.
Me too, except add chopped sweet onions in or on the side!
