jsharr ★ Posted August 22, 2019 Share #10 Posted August 22, 2019 Polar Bears love peas. Eskimos know this and use it to trap polar bears. They chop a big hole in the ice and surround it with peas, placing one every few feet. When a polar bear comes to take a pea, they sneak up behind it and kick it in the ice hole. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you keep a steamer bag of frozen peas around, you can put portion for one in a microwave save bowl with a pat of butter and cook them for about 2 minutes. They will still be crisp at that time and it's easy for one. Don't use any water they will cook just fine on their own moisture and a bit of ice crystal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes cook a bag of frozen vegetables and eat them all myself. I can put away a lot of veggies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted August 23, 2019 Share #19 Posted August 23, 2019 As a kid I was never a big fan of most vegetables, but I liked peas. My Mom would get the mixed peas and carrots and I'd pick out the peas and my wild sister would pick out the carrots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstar Posted August 23, 2019 Share #20 Posted August 23, 2019 I love sweet peas. I had them last night...scrambled eggs, onions, abit of mushroom, peas...together. I will miss peas.

According to a 1975 edition of the Mariner's Mirror, the term pea coat originated from the Dutch or West Frisian word pijjekker or pijjakker, in which pij referred to the type of cloth used, a coarse kind of twilled blue cloth with a nap on one side. ''Jakker'' designates a man's short, heavy, coat. Even though I wore one for years I had to look it up. And now you too know. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

late Posted August 24, 2019 Share #38 Posted August 24, 2019 One of the secrets to mint is growing an heirloom variety. They were worlds better than the stuff you buy, and you can grow it in a bucket, it's not fussy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s time to explore. Maybe. If it has the aggressive aroma and flavor of modern mint, then kill it. It will crossbreed with whatever heirloom variety you get and ruin it. My fave is chocolate mint, followed by orange mint. I think most would prefer the orange, but the choc has a dark side I really like. Maine salsa Tomatoes rough chopped Onion and lime juice A few peppers, both hot and sweet, whatever you like. Heirloom mint A dash of maple syrup, a pinch of salt.
