Supping upon manna

The moisture from the skies has really been filling out the pods, practically hour by hour. Little Marvel (English) peas have been bountiful to us, providing perfect peas, evenly distributed in the pot and quite uniform in size. For the names, I love Lincoln, Telephone, Green Arrow, and especially Wando, but it's Little Marvel that always comes through for us. I think that the thickness and moisture-holding qualities of the pods have something to do with their success. These taste wonderful raw, but a quick pass through a pot of water at the rolling boil brings out their finest aspects.
