On Sunday I shelled peas for the first time. [note: It is possible it was not the first time. It was certainly the first time in this apartment, though.]

It was fun, in that novelty sort of way, although I did spend the entire time thinking to myself ‘do I even *like* peas?’ What looked like a lot of peas in the pods turned into not so many peas all on their own, thank goodness. I dumped them into mac and cheese, because most vegetables seem improved with a hefty helping of cheese and salt.

I did, however, feel like perhaps I was not getting the full shell pea experience, given that it was rainy and I was standing in the kitchen. So I promised myself — if there are more shell peas in the vegetable delivery this week, I will pick a hot sunny day (should be no shortage this weekend) and sit out on the balcony to shell them.
