Day 6 'The Tour De Peas' 2011

The 'Tour De Peas'...well it makes a change from the 'Tour De Fleece'.  I do love fresh peas.  I don't have many but the ones I do have are very tasty.  I love them raw but am very wary of grubs.  I always inspect my peas and it gives me a shudder to see grubs in the pod!  These were steamed for about a minute and added to a simple pasta salad.  It is important that I sustain myself with 'Carbo loading' as all athletes need to pay attention to their diet.  Day six of the 'Tour De Fleece',  I sneaked in a bit of crochet today!  Before continuing with my 'Rainbow Bobbin'.  I think it is getting fatter.
I must admit my right knee is feeling a bit creaky but nothing too bad.  I am sure the rest day on Monday will help.  It is a good job I am not in 'The Tour de France'!  I am too much of a hypochondriac.

    Ohhh! I am with you on fresh peas. They are just so delicious. I got caught once when I was a little girl filling a pillowcase with fresh pea pods. I was intent on having them for a midnight feast --- all on my own! Took my Mum all of 10 seconds to investigate a VERY lumpy pillowcase as she was kissing me goodniht! Happy memories.

    I'm so sorry about your creaky knee -all that spinning catches up with a girl! Reading your comment on my blog, I was so sorry about you not being able to eat your first eggs -absolutely heartbreaking to not get to enjoy them. Lovely yarns here, and lovely peas! Ours aren't quite ready to pick yet, and I can hardly wait until they are!

I appreciate and enjoy reading all of the feedback from your comments. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and sharing your thoughts. Sadly I have found it necessary to enable word verification, something I was trying to avoid...but I am receiving an unmanageable deluge of Spam! We don't want that do we? xxx :)
