In Season: Green Peas
While they freeze better than many vegetables, green peas are definitely at their best in the spring when they can be pulled straight from the pod.

On the last day of the 12 Days of Dumpling, he was a fuzzy peapod. Snow pea? Sugar snap?In Season: Peas
Starting in May, just as we shed our own outer layers, it is time for green peas to jump out of the pod and be gobbled up by pea fans nationwide. Here are some recipes and tips to help you make the most of pea season.The Great Pea Controversy: Mushy or Snappy?
There's a very serious pea debate happening right now. Actually, it's been going on since, mmm, the beginning of time? Peas. The little green pebbles that roll around all over the plate, making your utensil go on a wild chase. (Yeah, the rolly part doesn't change whether mushy or snappy.) If you don't like them turning into army green moosh, you know to just barely blanch them, so they get warm but still maintain their snap. But then you have people like Francis Lam, food editor of Salon.com, leading the Mushy Pea movement. He points out that peas, by nature, are beans, which means we should cook them like beans "until they soften again and show off their creamy, complexly, maturely sweet selves."How Do You Build Your Shepherd's Pie?

[Image: disney.go.com] Today Disney revealed two new characters that will appear in Toy Story 3, coming out on June 18, 2010: Barbie's boyfriend Ken and, more importantly, Peas-in-a-Pod! Plush, smiling, rosy-cheeked peas in a pod! The official description says, "Peas-in-a-Pod will quickly become a parent's favorite on-the-go toy," but I think it's also appropriate for people like me: adults who are kids at heart.

[Photograph: Weelicious] If your kids don't like peas, maybe it's just because they haven't had them in frozen popsicle form. Weelicious shares a recipe for Peas In a Pop, a popsicle made of frozen peas and water. Apparently kids go crazy for them. Curious to see what other pea-centric popsicle recipes exist, I came across Minty Pea Pops (also made of cream cheese, chocolate chips, and sugar) from The Toddler Cafe by Jennifer Carden. The recipe says that they taste like like mint chocolate chip ice cream. Related Ice Cream on a Stick: Homemade Fudgsicles How to Make Homemade Bomb Pops...39th Annual World Pea Shooting Championship
