I’m back in love with Giant White Limas. As I’ve said many times, limas are great, but most of us grew up with mothers who had no idea how to make them. The dried aren’t starchy and actually are light and slightly sweet.
I had them for breakfast this morning with some scrambled eggs. These beans are huge and filling and make a great “approved” carb if you’re watching that kind of thing. I think it’s just a great way to start the day.
Did anyone notice that Mark Bittman was singing the praises of Rancho Gordo in his NYtimes column on popcorn for Oscar-watching?
More work for Joan, no doubt!

joan’s happy to be busy! Really!
thanks for the heads up on Bittmann. I love the popcorn but I wish he’d write about the beans!
… and most of us grew up with fathers who had no idea how to make them, either!
