how to prepare dried lima beans ?

Are you making it into a sauce or is it mixed with rice?
Is it the green or dried white beans?
Either way, if it's dried, you'll have to boil it until tender.

Come, just as you are to worship.

Come, just as you are before your God.
Vini, jan ou ye la devan Bondye'w.


*Say kounye'a as a two-syllable word if you're singing this: Kou-nya
