Ruth Haffly Said to Dave Drum about Posole

RH> RH> I was half thinking it did, but this one had kernels of corn,
RH> RH> not hominy.

RH>  DD> According to Jorge Patino (another Mexican-heritage friend)
RH>  DD> posole does not have to have corn nor hominy in it. But, when I
RH>  DD> told him my texture quibble with hominy he replied that hominy

RH> So maybe if you had it cooked according to the proper Mexican way,
RH> you might like it? Doubt it, but worth a try, but I suspect you
RH> probably won't.

Ah, but I will - even if it's only to prove to myself that I have tried 
another way and it failed. But, if it turns out I like (or can tolerate) 
hominy done that way I will be pleasantly surprised. So far the only way
I have found that I like lye-treated corn kernels is as parched corn or 
the commercial salty snack "Corn Nuts".

RH>  DD> I hereby bequeath whatever grits allocated to me that I don't
RH>  DD> use as wallboard spackle.   Bv)=

RH> OK, I'll take them, as well as all the okra you feel like tossing my
RH> way. In exchange, I'll send you all the coffee and coconut I don't
RH> consume, saving the peanut butter and lima beans for Steve.

Dang! I was hoping for the lima beans.   Bv)=  They are one of my 
favourites - from the little green baby limas to the big, tan butter 
beans.

RH>  DD> BTW - the recipe is one I have adapted and adopted. The
RH>  DD> quantity in the header is from the original recipe - but,
RH>  DD> that's a guesstimate at best. I had my best friend, Dennis, and
RH>  DD> his son Stephan over and there were no left overs.   Bv)=

Freshwater or saltwater? They do both in the Carolinas I have learned.

      Title: Butter Bean Soup
 Categories: Soups, Vegetables, Herbs
      Yield: 4 servings

      1 c  Large lima beans; soaked
           +=OR=+
     30 oz (2 cans) butter beans
    3/4 c  Fine chopped carrots
  1 1/3 c  Fine chopped celery
      1 c  Chopped fresh tomato
      6 c  Water
      2 tb Butter
    1/2 c  Fine chopped onion

  In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine soaked
  lima beans, carrots, celery, tomatoes and water. Bring to
  a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, partially covered, until
  beans and vegetables are tender, about 1 hour. (If using
  canned beans, add at the end of recipe.)

  In a small skillet over low heat, melt butter. Add onion
  and parsley; cook until onion is soft, about 5 minutes.

  Stir in flour and cook 1 minute; stir mixture into soup
  and simmer until soup is slightly thickened, about 5
  minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  Recipe can be doubled.

  Makes 4 cups; serves 4
