Look at the peas we picked from our garden! We've never grown mangetout before, but next year I think we will be growing more. They were so sweet and crisp, we were eating them straight off the plant. K loved shelling them, popping the little peas out of the pod and eating them like sweeties before eating the shell too. While she was busy picking them, she started singing:
'Five little peas
in a peapod pressed.
One grew, two grew,
And so did all the rest.
They grew and they grew
Till they could not stop.
Until one day that pod went...
POP!'
It was so good to be eating peas that evening fresh from the garden, I baked a creamy macaroni cheese to go along side them. All the plates were empty by the end of the meal, which considering Little L's tendency towards fussy eating, was great to see!
