On Monday a prandial predilection that boiled over into dining discord led to an encounter with the police for one elderly N. Ft. Myers man. Things got hot when instead of a requested and anticipated dish of lima beans, a gentleman whose name rhymes with "Hurl" was instead brought a bowl of cereal with fruit -- most likely raisins-- swimming in Ensure. "Hurl" dashed the bowl to the floor in protest, prompting Mrs. Hurl to get on the horn to John Law.
Mr. Cracker and I feel that law enforcement intervention should have taken place only if Hurl's behavior occurred in reaction to a bean substitution; say, pintos for limas, as that would have just been unreasonable. What is your own opinion?

And giving me a bowl of ensure will definitely make me hurl.
Free the beans, free the lima beans!!!
And thats all I got to say about that!
My preference is the large white lima, seasoned with a hamhock of course.
My husband only wants pintos and cornbread.
I can see his disappointment when he lifts the lid, but his reaction is a bit more controlled.
Old timers called the broth "pot liquor".
Neither one of those dishes makes my stomach feel too happy. I don't like any of it: cereal with raisins in it, lima beans, and though I've never tasted Ensure, anything touted on TV by Angela Lansbury has got to be gross, right?
I do like black-eyed peas though, with cornbread of course.
Cut her head off.
