I will admit to not being the best vegetable eater on the planet. Unless they are slathered in some sort of fat. I hope to instill better habits in my baby girl -- and if she's anything like her daddy (who is helping display a snap pea crisp above...), she will!
My cousin had told me about these quite some time ago, but I'd never seen them (and never looked really hard for them; because snap peas are among my least favorite vegetable -- especially raw).
And then we went to Alabama. And my dad had a couple bags of these. Expired, because a lot of his stuff is... But sealed shut. So we decided to try them (ummm... because we generally try expired food...).
And I loved them! (even expired!)
But I still hadn't ever seen them around here. (I'm sure they were there, but not where I had seen them!) Then one day I noticed them at one of the grocery stores... They were sitting above the produce (where the sprinklers are!). I didn't buy any that day... But then I noticed them at another grocery store where they were quite a bit cheaper (again, in a spot I wouldn't have usually looked, but just happened to see them). So I bought a bag. And yum!
And then last week, I noticed there was a coupon for these at Costco! Which meant Costco must be selling them! And so I put them on my Costco list (with a *star* -- meaning they were important to buy that trip ;))... And I bought a nice big bag of them :)! For cheaper than usual :). (More bonus points for Costco, by the way)
And sometimes (like tonight), these are my vegetable ;). (Yes, I know that's naughty, but still! They are 70% pea, after all :)).
What are you grateful for today?
