Glad to hear it all turned out great! You give us all hope. I would
have used canned limas and frozen everything else this time of
year.... cheese and chicken stock would not have been considered.

Cyber was joking... hope you are too. I don't know you that well.

Interesting combination, and probably very tasty. I usually make a classic
succotash with either fresh or frozen lima beans and corn, each cooked
separately until just tender, then combined with some butter, heavy cream,
and a light sprinkle of thyme, and cooked just long enough for the cream to
thicken.

Sounds good! Not 'classic' to my area but not bad at all!

I have a friend who lives in YellowKnife (Northern Canada) and he's
mentioned making something a bit like that before.

If you think about it next time, try using some stock for some of the
'butter beans' (dried limas are called that here) when boiling them.

I had to make it palatable for my taste to get past the dried beans. I'm
still trying to like them.

I didn't say I make this on a daily basis. :-) Probably a couple of times a
year, tops.
