I buy those big ole Limas now in a jar by DelMonte easier than the old way of doing them. DM's has a little pimento in them. You'al are talking about old fashion food here. So many of my receipes are Pa. Dutch. Lots of ways to use ham. I still make the ham, cabbage and potatoes. Living on the farm in Jersey we raised our own meat and its hard to find Beef that tastes like my husbands. Yesterday I got some Summer Balogne at Kroeger's to make fried sandwiches. Summer Balogne, sharp cheese on bread and dip the bread in beaten eggs and fry. I know its a bad thing, but my Chlor. is only 157, but we only have it once in awhile.

Dot, If you do get a chance to look at that cookbook and can find a recipe, I'd love to have it. I don't imagine my family will be too interested, though. I'm not sure I'd be too interested in it, but these types of things are important to me. I'm big into handing down traditions and it might be fun to try to put together a book for my kids with recipes from my childhood.
