You do it once and you are bewitched, and you simply must do it again :)<br />We always buy some fresh peas at the farmer's market and freeze them to have plenty. They are on the menu, almost every week.

I would help my mom take the peas out of the pods and probably ate more than I gave her. Although, we always seemed to have enough for dinner. Hmmmmm. I wonder. Mom must have bought extra. She steamed them and back then we ate real butter on them. So yummy.<br />Thank you for the memory.<br />♥♥♥<br />SueMYSAVIORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04119980089443631515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767368008487835849.post-11124074462270756562012-07-09T06:56:43.093-04:002012-07-09T06:56:43.093-04:00Yum!

There is something satisfying about doing tasks like this, even though I could not name it.<br />Gotta say I'm with the little Mister on the salad issue, too little cheese, egg and Jalapeno for my taste. (hey, I try not to overdo the whole healthy eating thing, can't let my system go into shock!) But then again, the walnuts and fresh spring onions are so much of a redeeming feature that I might just be tempted :D With a side of scrambled free range eggs this might just about be acceptable. Or even a favourite in the making! :)lisbonlionesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199372003999708772noreply@blogger.com
