A big reminder of childhood is whenever I eat peas. This humble little legume is such a reminder, because I spent every summer picking the pods and then shelling the peas at my grandparents farm.

I always remember this as a lot of fun as my cousins also lived on the farm and helped myself and my siblings with this too. We all must have eaten our body weight in pea’s every year, or that’s how it seemed at the time! That is before we had peas (as well as other home-grown vegetables) with my grandma’ fabulous cooking.

Eating peas always reminds me of being a kid and spend time with spent time with many of my favourite people, especially when we got up to too much mischief!
