Thanksgiving Dinner - Pass the Peas

Peas always were a staple on my grandparents' Thanksgiving table. Somewhere between the turkey, stuffing, dumplings, mashed potatoes, and casseroles there'd always be a little dish of peas quietly minding their own business. They kind of filled the space between dishes, like some kind of table decoration or a dish of obligation. I'm sure someone ate them, either that or they wound up in a stew concocted of leftovers that got served all the way through the New Year.

Green Giant Peas!

In honor of the recently passed St. Patrick's Day, may the luck of the peas be with you...
