Default I'm sick of.....peas! What are you sick of?

Every 3-4 days, I have at least 13 gallons of peas to pick, shell,
wash, blanch, and freeze.


We're not doing anything on that scale, but we do have lots of hot
peppers (about 2 dozen plants, roughly, most of which are bearing
well). And, you see, one doesn't put very much hot pepper in each
dish.

My boyfriend assures me that we'll just have more to freeze this way.
I'm wondering whether he is planning on activating the currently
unused basement chest freezer just for his peppers :-).

As for peas, we planted only a short row of edible pod peas (reduces
the shelling, at least). Next year I'll grow more if I can think of
where to put them.
