I am munching a lovely (sorry, not mm) bean dish.

8oz dry butter beans (large dry limas)
3oz chopped salt fatback
1 Pho Seasoning cube*
water to cover plus 1.5 inch water

Use a medium crock pot and add it all in.  Cook on medium or high until
simmering then low.

*Pho seasoning cubes are just salt and a common mix of spices added to Pho
broth.  Bit of garlic, black pepper (some use white pepper), crushed cardamom
seeds and other minor notes.  Can be omitted or just add a bit of garlic and
salt to taste.

Alternative: powdered Pho broth is an outstanding flavor match!

Call it 'xxcarol's butter beanies!  

I just gave Robin (Don and our friend) 8oz dry beans, a Pho cube and she has
some salt pork, this after she tasted mine.  I get the Pho cubes from a nearby
'American Asian Grocery' for 2.89 for 18 cubes.  They may have gone up but I
like them so will replace.
