Give Peas a Chance!

I like peas. Especially raw, popped right out of the pod, fresh off the stalk.

And I remember years ago when we were house-sitting Marion and Berneice Schrock’s house in Hubbard, Oregon. They’d told us to help ourselves to stuff in the freezer. I fear we launched a Bigger Than We Should Have assault on their stash of frozen peas-and-baby-onions. Wow, those were delicious!

I also like split pea soup, especially with bacon and/or ham in it.

Not only are peas delicious in so many settings, they’re alleged to have nutritional benefits for your bones and cardiovascular system and who knows what else.

So, parents, be good parents and train your children early to eat these little round marvels. If you start early enough, you’ll have unusual children — who like peas. (And you might learn to like them as well.)

I thought I coined “Give peas a chance” as a unique, lightly-mocking spin-off of “give peace a chance.” Google dissuaded me of that self-inflicted, self-aggrandizing notion. 😆

Being of the suspicious, determined-not-to-be-gullible sort, I wonder if this image has been photoshopped:
