The United States was elected in 2009 to sit on the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), which the U.S. State Department had previously asserted had lost its credibility by its prior stances and lack of safeguards against severe human rights violators taking a seat.
The lima bean plant (Phaseolus lunatus) is named after the city of Lima, Peru, where people have been eating them since 6000 BC. In the U.S., Native Americans grew lima beans before the English settlers landed. Lima beans are also known as butter beans or chad beans.
Iâve never cooked with dried lima beans before. In New England, we cook frozen lima beans with corn which is called Succotashâ¦. a Native American dish. We do eat baked beans and franks every Saturday noon, just like my parents did. Our beans are made with molasses and brown sugar.
