The perils of a CSA half-share!

A half-share of a CSA allotment is designed with at least two stomachs in mind and while I am a queen of vegetables, there are times when simply, I should learn to use moderation.

Peas for two people, meant a giant bellyache for this girl. Seriously, I felt like Cookie Monster felt after eating the entire type-writer while attempting to write Santa Claus a letter in the Sesame Street Christmas. You see, shelling peas in the pod look deceiving - in the bag they bulky - so I justified devouring the entire bag in a sitting, as I was not going to be eating the pod. While this bowl appears somehow empty of pods, please keep in mind that I started saving my pea pods for this picture after I had eaten two-thirds of my share!
