Shelling peas from the CSA

As an experiment our family has joined a CSA (community supported agriculture) group for the summer. Every week we get to pick up a bag of fresh organically grown produce from a local farm. This has been an interesting experience for all of us as we are a little picky about veggies and I am not much of a chef. Often I find items that I needed to first identify, then find out how to store (I have a little cookbook about seasonal cooking that has been very helpful) the food, and then figure out how I'm supposed to prepare it. We've discovered some things that we don't like (radishes), but we've also discovered some foods we didn't know we liked (summer squash). It's also been lots of fun for Anna to get to know some of her foods in their more raw form. Tonight she helped Mommy make dinner by shelling some peas.
