Hi everybody! Hope you're doing well these days. We've talked about pea salad in the past here on the list, but I can't recall if I've ever posted my mother's recipe. As we were making it today, I wrote down her ingredients. Enjoy! Rick B MY MOTHER'S PEA SALAD RECIPE 6 hardboiled eggs chopped 1 small onion chopped 1 cup of shredded cheese 1 bag of frozen peas Family Size, boiled mayo Mix all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl or pan. Mix in mayo until moist. Chill in the fridge for awhile and serve. This makes quite a bit so you'll have plenty for 4 people for 2 days.

Salutations from the frozen Midwest region!! We are finally getting a bit warmer here in Iowa--up to 40 degrees finally!! We have had 96 days of below 40, and most of that was even way below 30, so that is long enough!! Rick, I have a totally different recipe for pea salad, so I will send it along here. 2 cans of peas 6 hardboiled eggs chopped onion to taste sweet pickle relish to taste a couple squirts of yellow mustard Miracle Whip to taste sugar to taste salt and pepper (ditto) Mix altogether and yummmmm!! I like it a bit sweeter than some folks, but also like that little bite of mustard. I mix the onion, relish, mustard, Miracle Whip, sugar, and salt and pepper together first, then gently add the eggs and peas to the mix. Turns out pretty doggone good!! Hope we don't have too much flooding around here. We have had way more snow than we have had for 25 years!! We got way over 6 feet of snow altogether I think. Naturally that wasn't all at one time!! But somehow it seemed like it at the time!! We had about 1 1/2 months where it seemed like every couple of days we would get another 2-5 inches of snow!! And some ice to begin with!! Our soil really never got a chance to have a hard freeze, because we had an ice storm, then lots of snow on top of that. So we are praying that the snow cover will melt slow enough that it will just soak down into the ground. That would be wonderful! I am quite sure the farmers around here would be thrilled!! Run-off can be awful---takes the top soil right down any river or stream. Not good!! Hope everyone is getting springlike weather---I am thrilled to not need to bundle up anymore!!
