One of my neighbors, around the corner, is an elderly gentleman from the south. He and his grandsons go to the farm all summer and pick vegetables. They set him up in front of his house to sell his vegetables. He has a cute little vegetable stand. I love to support his efforts. This summer I bought red-eyed peas that had to be picked from the shell. That was no fun! However, they taste great in this recipe.
