Things that Happen When Grandmother Comes To Town

We bought lima beans in the shell at the Farmer's Market. Then we sat on the back porch and shelled them into a bowl while talking. It was all very Fried Green Tomatoes.

Impending yumminess:

Piles of deliciousness:

So we shelled them, then we soaked them in water (still doing that. They'll soak overnight). Tomorrow, I'll heat them up in a mixture of water, olive oil, salt, pepper, sage and garlic. Slow and low, they'll cook for a while (about 3 hours), then I'll EAT THEM UP!!!

P.S. To 899: Phhbbbt!! Butter beans are delish.
