You're right, very funny! I guess we think alike.

I'm going to have to try kale. I don't know if I like it or not, but it sounds like it's worth a try. Sometimes I use spinach too.

Oh, and if you haven't tried edamame (soy beans), you might want to use them instead of lima beans sometimes. I just looked up the nutrition info on both. A cup of edamame shows as 298 calories with 29 grams of protein. And a cup of lima beans is less at 216 calories with only 15 grams of protein. I like both kinds of beans, but since I'm not a meat-eater and I'm always on the hunt for more protein, I tend to choose edamame more often than lima beans.
