Pea-pickings


I'm not sure of the etymology, but in the South "pea pickin" is sometimes used euphemistically-as in  "Bless your pea-pickin' heart" or "Not a pea-pickin' thing". Anyway, I've been picking plenty of sugar snap peas this week.

It's a challenge to find them all in the tangled vines, because these are the vining rather than the bush kind I thought I planted. Erroneous planting has not impacted their productivity from what I can tell. I prepared about six quarts for the freezer yesterday, along with another batch we enjoyed with dinner using a variation of this recipe.
