I've never heard of doing that. How would you serve them?

I eat my peas with honey.
I've done it all my life.
It makes the peas taste funny, but it keeps them on the knife.

I have drizzled honey on peas before...used to eat them smothered in gravy when we had them with roast beef.

I've heard a bit of a variation on that one. Spoon instead of knife, not sure about the 2nd line but it doesn't seem familiar.

The poem is bugging me now, googling just brought up what Kay wrote.
Might just be a mismemory, where my sister and I would possible change it. I seem to have a vocal memory though of some child performer (Eric Nagler maybe, the voice is male) ending with spoon.

Either that or you're combining it with a different poem

Poe Muse'n?

 

[BethAnne]

Couple Jehovah Witnesses showed up - older gent and a really good looking guy in his early 20s...they weren't pushy and looked at the sale which actually generated a better discussion than their spiel.

I remember the poem the way Kay wrote it. It used to make us giggle.

No need for honey if you use a spoon.

Rough weekend...ate something that really disagreed with me Will see if the pickled peas are pickling in the morning.

 

[BethAnne]

Pickled peas worked!!!!!!! Have a nice dilly tangy flavour. I'll definitely be making more jars of them.

 

[Redbaron]

Would they go well with pickled honey?

In other news...it seems what I thought over the past 6+ years were "food" reactions, were actually "water" reactions It is our tap water that is making me sick and filtering it doesn't seem to make any difference Acupuncturist treated me Thursday and today to minimize my reaction to the water...muscle-testing today indicates a bit of improvement but not much He said the "best" advice he could give me is to avoid water but that isn't realistic as everything that is washed or wiped with it could potentially cause a reaction He's away for the next 3 weeks on holidays and when we comes back we'll see what direction we will go

What's in the water that you're reacting to?

What's in the water that you're reacting to?

Could be any of the chemicals added to treat it.

Sure hope it doesn't take another six years to narrow it down.

Since I've been dealing with this to varying degrees since I was 14 so this is at least some progress...at LAST we know what the trigger is, even if we don't know the specifics or the best "fix" yet.

 

[BethAnne]

The hardest part of this is that I have a hot bath every night before bed - obviously that hasn't been helping as much as I thought

 

[You just never know]

Hope your doctor can figure out a good course of action for you so your health improves BethAnne. Another thing this shows is we have something in common. I am allergic to all the rain that has been soaking me on this year's bike rides! Seriously though, hope finding the trigger is what you need to see the last of your health issues.

I would be tempted to test the theory-to travel somewhere and see if different water made a difference. I grew up on "raw" water from a well, and then from a spring fed well. Is your sister on treated water?

 

[Tabitha]

Another thought. We made a cistern -and put a front concrete porch over it. All the eaves-troughs dumped in there. It was what our hot water tank drew form. Very soft water-and no additives.
