Why of course it’s [National Lima Bean Respect Day](http://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/days-2/national-lima-bean-respect-day-april-20/). Does that mean you’re supposed to eat 'em or not? I mean if you respected them would you eat them? 😕 Should I hold the door for them? Require you to call them the next day if they spend the night? They couldn’t come up with a better name than Respect Day? :o [This](https://www.punchbowl.com/holidays/lima-bean-respect-day) source says it’s also Pineapple Upside-down Cake Day, along with Grilled Cheese Month; you can celebrate all three in one meal! ---

It’s also the feast Day of St. Marian, who was noted to have great effect over animals. So a giant steak is probably appropriate as well. (As thought there are times a giant steak isn’t appropriate) ---

Love me some limas, but I didn’t see the porcine flavoring bits in the picture. You have to have something porkish cooking with the beans, you HAVE to! Some corn wouldn’t hurt, either. **::insert Sylvester joke here::** ---
