Recipe Notes

Sugar snap peas are so easy to find in the grocery now. There was a time when you really had to hunt for them. They are wonderful as a side dish like this but go great in salads and are really best just eating raw as a snack.

"Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation's tears in shoulder blades."
