Other than in fried rice i like to serve fresh peas lightly and quickly
blanched in boiling water and finished in butter and a soupçon garlic.

So i do frozen peas for the elderly relative, every once in a while, for
her, in the same way.

I think she would prefere i use garlic powder but i never buy the stuff.
Even the halfway decent "granulated" garlic the local deli sell in
bulk, .75¢ per ounce.

I once stated to her with my gravest authoity, that: i CANNOT cook in a
kitchen with no garlic in it! we would have to go out for dinner!

20 - 30 minutes later after i had decided what to make for dinner she
came back into the kitchen all dressed up to go out for dnner Hat,
gloves, pearls, low heels, cloth coat & etc.

Apparently my complaint about being out of garlic was a more plausable
reason for eating out than i imagined
