I use about a quarter to a third that much.
The first time I made it the ginger was de trop.
But otherwise this is delicious!!!

I use that much ginger, but I do love ginger. You could start with less and add more to taste.

Is the one tablespoon dried ginger correct? I have never used more than one teaspoon of dried ginger at one time (fresh, yes, but not dried) so I was afraid to try this recipe.

Your dictionary is mistaken, Kate. I love lima beans. I have always loved lima beans! As a child they were my favorite bean, and I daresay they still are. Nutty pillows, indeed; plus they’re not as mealy as kidney, pinto, or fava beans. And peas! (Is that a bean?) Blech! As I child I liked Birdseye, heated and possibly buttered. As an adult, I have found them at Bone Lick Park on Greenwich Ave, served with chunks of barbequed ham. Deeeelicious!

I found you through Ree’s new site!
I must say I’m intrigued by this recipe. I just barely finished Laurie’s first Home Cooking book and didn’t care for it – I’m sorry if that offends. I was having a hard time – not too enthused about her cooking style at all and what turned me running in the other direction was the chapter on how to avoid grilling at all costs. I’m currently thoroughly enjoying the book Julie & Julia and lined up after that is Ruth Reichl’s latest.
Anyway it’s still nice to “meet” you and your lovely looking blog – I promise I’ll stop by again soon!

Anyone who’s a friend of Laurie Colwin’s is a friend of mine. My office is about five NYC blocks from where she lived in Chelsea, and I often think I’m walking the streets she walked.

MY recipe is for lima beans braised in cream. Delicious, silky, eat-more-than-you should lima beans. I actually like Fordhook limas better than baby limas, but they are more difficult to find in my neighborhood.

I’ve never made this recipe nor have I made the spinach with jalapenos and jack cheese that you made for father’s day. They are both now heading my list of new recipes to try!
