I like green peas, and purple hull peas, and dried, ground chick peas HUMMUS, and prettyuch every other pea I have encountered. You can keep the mustard and collard greens.
Come Monday I will be celebrating 27 years of wedded bliss, tempered by the fact that green peas (sometimes with horrors! carrots) will be regularly served in this house. Forgive me for hoping beyond all hope there might actually be a tasty green pea out there.
I have had two little old ladies, complete strangers, offer me their unsolicited rave reviews of HEB brand canned green peas while I was standing in the canned vegetable aisle.
I can now report they taste just like every other damn peas I’ve ever eaten.
Consider yourself forewarned.

Saw something different near Brookshire yesterday. Some sort of mass spider migration. All sorts of spider silk was blowing in the air. Clumps, strands, some of it well above the power lines.
