Sweet Peas

We've had pea shoots in our last three vegetable deliveries, but this week there was a surprise in the bunch: tiny lavender buds. Almost too beautiful to eat, really. As a delicacy, we've decided that the stalks of the pea shoots are a little too tough for our liking, and removing the leaves one at a time has proven rather tedious. The conundrum of what to do with these curly little vines is easily solved this time, though; artfully arranged in an old vase, they make a lovely centerpiece.
