Mushy or Garden?

We don’t eat mushy peas in the states. We still have our teeth.

I consider all canned peas mushy but maybe I'm wrong?

Mostly use frozen peas.

Growing in up Mom always had cans of LeSueur baby peas that were for Sunday dinners.

Oh, brand name!
You're from South Jersey if you eat ShopRite brand canned vegetables you bought at the Can Can sale. Yes, the Can Can sale was in January.

Humm.. I'm in my 30s, which are considered the golden years by scientists. To put it simply, I am still figuring out many things while also getting a nostlagia kick somedays. Still being romantic, passionate, optimistic, and curious. A bit more grounded and reflecting more, I guess, compared to my earlier years and I love that.

While I wouldn’t have liked exposure to the easy access of cyber porn in my youth. In the 60s it was perfect sneaking Dads playboy maybe saw a boobie, was that some pubes, then the 70s spread eagled hustler, sneaking behind the Xrated drive in to catch a classic hairy 70s porno.

But today, I can pick up my porn pad and with it I can completely re-live my sexual exploits. I lived in perfect times!

Order more SunSweet prunes from Amazon.

What, an old geezer like you can handle ordering on the Internet?!?

It's been years since I had canned peas,, but I do recall them being a bit mushy at the best of times. The thing I really vividly recall was they just were never any good--frozen was so much better. My mother used frozen only, but I do remember my grandmother using canned, at least at the end of her life.

It's a bit of a puzzle to me why canned peas still exist as a product.

Well, given the trajectory things have been on for many, many years now, it's increasingly reaching a point where the only golden age choice is to forget any hope of retirement, and keep working until one drops dead.

We can get mushy peas at a specialty food store still.

Every once in ahile we will get them for a 'memoriam' meal we used to make for our neighbour...she loved them.

Frozen is much better.

However I make this elbow macaroni cold salad with tuna, grated onions and Hellman's mayo.

And peas. My Mom always used canned peas in the recipe so it's a comfort memory thing.

/\ I could only use frozen for that. Add them raw and still frozen to speed up the chilling process.

I could easily toss my cookies thinking about tinned peas. I knew women who put them in gelatin and cut it into squares like it was something fancy. Yuck!

Understandable.

There are things my mother did in the kitchen I raced away from ASAP when I was 20. Now, many years later, I find myself doing some of those things again sometimes out of nostalgia.

These are better than the store brand.

I already play guitar, bass, keys, and ukulele, but recently I have begun learning to play lap steel guitar, banjo, and mandolin. I like to think that learning new instruments, in different tunings, using new chords shapes and scales, might help to keep my brain active in my fading twilight years. It's great fun; I love it!. I also read a lot, mostly non-fiction on music, history, religion, spirituality, mysticism, occultism, etc.

I ate at a diner on the way back from Atlanta Wednesday, and had a fried chicken breast, stewed cabbage, and English peas. When the waitress named peas as a side, I thought field peas since it was a small Southern town. The peas were canned, and edible, and I ate them, but felt disappointed. I only buy frozen sweet peas at home.

My wife has been begging me to retire.
I'm not 60 yet but the wife wants me to stop, I have two businesses, one could continue with my minimal direction, other would not. However, I have worked 12-16 hrs a day for 40 years I can't wrap my head around how.
When I take off the few days at Christmas/ New years, I find myself pacing & agitated.

Only way I believe I can stop is death or if I'm ever blessed with grandchildren, praying for grandkids!

I wish you luck on your journey.
