Lima Beans and Kale

It all started with a can of Lima beans. I love Lima beans.

For lunch, I thought it would be a quick side Lima bean curry. Then my husband said, why not use up the frozen bag of Lima beans. Thus began our Stone Soup.

Then I thought how about some Kale. The Kale has been waiting to be used in Orechiette with kale and breadcrumbs.
Then I thought how about some green onions - playing on the green theme of Lima beans and Kale.

The next day I looked up to see how the rest of the world likes their Lima beans with Kale.

I love it when the introduction to a recipe talks something about the recipe like this caramelization of slow baked Lima beans with kale. You can add tomatoes and olives to make a stew like lima bean stew olives tomatoes kale.

She said that as she would shape the dough, it would spring back to its original shape. That makes me appreciate the complexity of dishes and the act of cooking. My neighbor impressed with my interest in he sweet, shared some Mohanthal with us. It is truly a sweet from heaven. I was reminded of a sweet from my marriage. Another neighbor quipped about the satisfactoin of eating when very hungry and not as much when you eat on time everyday, which resonated in the following lines of Charles Bukowski in  Wandering in the cage. "the best thing about near-starvation and hunger is that when you finally eat it is such a beautiful and delicious and magical thing. people who eat 3 meals a day throughout life have never really tasted food… "
