"rookie cookery" news and stories

I only like peas in one form: whole. I can't take them smashed or mushed in any way, and I can't even stomach smelling pea soup (though my mom used to love it - I'd usually hide in my room when she made it). I'm always looking for something interesting to do with peas. I've never had them in a salad before, and I certainly have never had them be the salad before.

But the fun Rookie Cookery site has a recipe for Pea Salad. She makes them with frozen peas (just running cool water over them to thaw), mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper. Add a couple of chopped green onions, chill for a bit, and you have your lunch. Here's the full recipe. I'm sure it's better than the pic makes it look, and it sounds like the perfect light meal for the summer.
