PEAS TOO, CAN
APPEAR IN A
DIFFERENT DRESS

When a large assortment OF
fresh vegetables are not available
it sometimes becomes necessary to
serve one thing several times dur
ing the week-that is, if we are
DESTROYS of fresh vegetables. Take
for instance, fresh peas-some-
times you won't see them at all,
then suddenly that's all there ID
in the way of green vegetable in
your particular market--oh well,
Wen just give them a different
dress and they'll be as desirable
as ever.
PEAS In CREAM
Shell peas, wash and cook in a
small quantity of boiling water.
Cook quickly until tender, add salt
to taste, and fresh cream (using
II cup cream to eacn 3 cups of
peas). Let's boil up once and serve.
CREOLE PEAS
8 cups shelled peas
/ small white onion
2 tablespoons butter or
substitute
" teaspoon sugar
Salt
Bring pint Of water to boil;
add the onion and cook 5 minutes,
then throw in the peas, which have
been well washed and picked over;
add butter and sugar and cook
until peas are tender and the
water evaporated, leaving only
the butter. Add salt to taste, five
minutes before the peas are done,
and, if the water cooks away be-
fore peas are tender, add a little
more boiling water.
