Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for July 02, 2023

Custards last stand!

A sitting bull of Lima Bean’s

The custody of who gets the children. Lots of mustard on The Custard slider pitch.

If dry Bean’s, then the coffee bean grinder word for me. LL Bean said so. Lama Dama Drama and Debate Class… A Human Chess game.

I am now inspired to create the world’s first Lima Bean Smoothie.

I’ll get right on it. . .

Maybe after the Holiday.

Lots to consider.

They have to be cooked, obviously, or they are poisonous. And then, just the mushy inside part is needed. Then it needs to be pureed and combined with the ingredients that will really bring out that lima bean flavor. And the proper sweetener has to be found. Then there is the serving temperature to be considered. Room temperature? Heated? Chilled? Ice cold? So much to do. Maybe I’ll get on it after Labor Day.

Lima beans….UGH!!

Teresa:. Do you really look like your profile picture?

or a mushroom bendy straw

Looks like Dung Beetle is headed for the Lima patch! Whatever they like is contraire to what humans like. Aaaacckk!

They know crap from shine-ola!

Let the feast begin….suck it up in a bendy straw, hoping all the skins were strained out! Nothings worse than a clogged bendy straw.

Legume-inating

You need corn for your suffering.

Bean there

A friend showed me the way to palatable limas: Microwave frozen Fordhook Limas in water- but do not overcook. Meanwhile sauté chopped onions in butter (and/or a bit of olive oil.) Add limas, salt, pepper and chili powder and mix while continuing to cook on low heat. Add barbecue sauce if you like, and anything else to increase the spiciness; cayenne, hot sauce, etc. Mmm- now that’s… tolerable. You can always add corn to the limas when microwaving for Southwestern Sufferin’ Succotash.

That’s the last straw …!

( just in time )

A new found Joan Miro painting?

A lot of Frog Applause cartoons are pieces of artwork. I could see this blown up and hanging in a gallery (and not literally blown up… you know what I mean!)

If you had a bendy straw that had enough diameter, you might want to make a slurry of curry. Anything to hide or disguise that awful flavor and texture.

One word. limascicle. We don’t need no stinkin’ straws.

…I am at Gilligan’s bar & grill…

…guess where I am …(town, not place)…

The Atlas Beetle Shrugged.

As I rode into Tombstone on a horse his name was Gilligan…

I ordered a drink of red-eye and I had to ask…

Is a castaway around from the other side of the island?

Barkeep said the other islands are mostly head hunter natives…

I tossed a coin on the bar and grabbed my bottle with a single shot glass and sat down at a table where men played cards at a high rollers rat pak…

A salon girl wisked by and said, care to go upstairs a take a load of care right off your back…

I whistled and my companion for the last three days nayed, for he carried my load apon the saddle with a bedroll sack.

The rest is just a tale of how and when us old bums and drunks won the west,..

Momma don’t let your cowboys grow up to be children!!

C’mon, give us Froglandians some credit! Why would I even want to eat lima beans with a bendy straw? Some might elaborate, why would I even want to eat lima beans, period, but I happen to like them as long as not too often. Life is complicated enough without actively seeking out new complexities to befuddle the masses yearning for their lima beans! They have a God-given right to lima beans!

Chop Chop Stix w/your double bubble straw. Chew, Swallow, digest, dispose, transport waist. Man oldest preoccupation.

I WAS struggling with a fork. This is helpful.

Pneumatically.
