I absolutely love lima beans...have since I was a kid. I’ve been known to eat them straight out of the can (how embarrassing:) Didn’t see a recipe for Calico Beans posted; this is close to the recipe my Mom uses; all the guys love it:

Her new enterprise seems to have been a really big show.
Or, as DJT would say, Yuge!
The above is hardly a fraction of the you tubes available. More are listed on the sites above.
I think you're right. That's probably why cabbage gets such a bad rep. Too many people have bad childhood memories of boiled cabbage stinking up the house. But it's another vegetable that benefits from a nice pan saute or roast.
A girl close to my own heart :-) Cream of tomato soup is a favorite. Grilled cheese, popped corn or oyster crackers (perhaps a pat of butter) on top - all of these contribute to a stick to your ribs meal.
Ree has certainly left her mark on a small Oklahoma town. I remember seeing a video of the building just as renovation was beginning. That she has come this far is truly inspirational. A future Paula Deen, perhaps.

DH once lived in that small Oklahoma town before coming to Texas. There is little he sees in the videos he is able to identify. Town Square and a courthouse - the common factor of all small towns.
Except for Cole Slaw, I was never a cabbage fan, until I found this recipe in a Shaker bookbook:
Cabbage in Caraway Cream
2 tsps. Butter
1 T. caraway seeds
1 small head cabbage, Shredded Coarsely
1 tsp. Sugar (opt.)
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 tsp. Salt
1-1/2 T. Vinegar
½ C. Sour Cream
Heat butter in skillet. Add cabbage, salt and garlic, and stir well. Cover tightly and steam 10 minutes, or until tender (a little water may be added, but if you cook slowly, the cabbage will wilt and give up its own water.) Add caraway seeds, sugar (if used) and vinegar. Stir in Sour Cream, and serve immediately
That’s a lot like the ‘Barbecue’ Lima Beans that my husband makes. The problem with getting his recipes is that he ‘eyeballs’ everything, and it’s like pulling teeth to get him to give measurements. I’ll have to get him to make them soon, and watch over his shoulder ;-)
Wow, that’s a grown-up version of Kid’s Favorite School Lunch :-)
I once read that Frank Sinatra’s performance contract always included a bowl of hot tomato soup in his dressing room.
Probably cleared his throat :-)
Oh, Sinatra took very good care of his throat.
Even on non-performance days, he’d vocalize to keep those golden vocal chords vibrating.
Happy Birthday! Your cake looks lovely and delicious.
Thanks! It was gone in 24 hours! Which is good.
