Been absent from the list for ages (don't ask). >Send 'em to me. I'll eat 'em. Butter beans, too. mmmmmm... butter beans, slow-cooked with bacon and chipotle. As for limas, at dinner last night, bread was served with a spread made of pureed (cooked) limas, fruity olive oil and raw garlic: a pale green variation on hummus. To wander back OT, one could certainly add some cayenne or other chile powder of preference... Gary
