my stepmom insists on canned peas

they are NOT good

I have had canned peas

agreed

I mean, I can eat them

but I don't ENJOY them

Frozen peas, steamed in the microwave, S&P and maybe a pat of butter? Perfect veggie side

little bubbles of green & fresh flavor

they are perfect with my rosemary lemon chicken

Cat, frozen veggies everything. Seriously. They're flash-frozen so quick after picking it keeps almost all the good in. The canning process is a cooking process. As you have discovered, not the same.

frozen veg is better most of the year unless you can get it fresh and local

frozen corn is good too!

my mother does not like peas

therefore, I never had peas

corn, yes.

YAY FOR FROZEN VEG DISCOVERY!

15 minute warning before I run to class (then gone until about 8:30)

Frozen stir-fry mix is mediocre

I do eat a lot of frozen broccoli

I have leftover peas. downside of being single.

Frozen peas are the best

next time, I will hunt for the little singles packs

more expensive, but likely worth it

I have fine luck just wrapping up the bag

but I also am pretty lazy 😄

Mmm.. I nuked the whole bag?

It was a steamable

We wrap up the bag, but we're a fam. Oh. Ok, maybe a little over excited there.

maybe there is a bag more friendly to partitioning

ah, I put some into a tupperware, add a touch of water, and steam

ALL Frozen veg are steamable. They just don't tell you.

the rest get chip clipped back into the freezer

Well, excess peas will be solved tomorrow. Likely with angel hair & butter.

eeee

Carbonara is good with peas too

Carbonara REQUIRES peas.

it's not strictly traditional so I make peas on the side to keep the purist happy

We can pause there if you want, Rae. Whatever works for you

But we do ultra traditional carbonara - Just eggs, hard grated cheese, and pancetta and noodles

no cream sauce

oh, goody!

Never mind, it's fine

A trad carbonara makes it's own cream sauce.
