    1. My can of peas

    3. Dear Folks, I guess it's obvious that I can't shut up my brain tonight and therefore I have to write another simple story. It's about my can of peas. Early this evening I had planned the basics of my dinner. There was my tender Swiss steak I've been storing in my freezer along with its tomato gravy and then there was a nice helping of frozen mashed potatoes. All that I needed was a vegetable to go along with them. Nothing really appealed me until I remembered my can of peas. Frankly, all my life I've thought canned peas were the dullest of vegetables. But this evening I looked forward to them as real comfort food. I opened up the can, dished out a nice quantity onto my plate, heated everything up and I was back home again. Swiss steak and tomato gravy, mashed potatoes and canned peas. You sure can't beat a menu like that! vee
