Jim planted the garden kind of late this year, so we only have one kind of peas - snow peas. He chose them because they come on earlier than other kinds and because you don't have to shell them. I've been picking them all week. There are six large bags of snow peas in the freezer and tonight's stir-fry peas sitting on the counter. I also took a gallon to some friends of ours.

When I picked the first row for the second time, the calves were leaning on the fence begging for a treat. It was time to pull a few vines anyway. I pulled the whole row, salvaging the pea pods, and fed the vines to the calves. They're about 200 pounds now, and quite cute. They're old enough to not be afraid of us and too young to knock the fence over.

We also brought in two gigantic heads of Chinese cabbage. Some of that will go in the stir-fry, but most of it will go into Kimchi. Yum!

Last night I made a giant batch of egg rolls. We had several for supper along with some frozen berries and cream, and more of them for lunch. The rest are in the freezer. We used up all the soy sauce except the Lite. We ate on the patio, and the smell of the ground turkey and soy sauce brought all five cats to politely beg for treats. We were happy to oblige.
