The vegetable garden yield this season is less than we hoped, but the corresponding weight loss has been a pleasant surprise.
Yesterday's count on peas was 44. That was actual peas, not peapods.
The grandkids, taking great interest in the garden, were the ones who picked and shelled the most recent round. When we sat down to lunch, there were the 44 peas on the table in a small glass bowl, cooked and seasoned with butter, salt and pepper.
