Buttery biscuits
Menu Group: Food
Section: Baked Goods
Category: Biscuit

Vendor: Rasmussen Farm

6" Cheesecake, frozen
Menu Group: Food
Section: Baked Goods

To defrost, simply leave in the fridge for a few hours or at room temperature for an hour or so. Cheesecake is easier to slice cleanly while still partly frozen.

English Shell Peas: Enjoy raw, in salads, or as a side dish-boiled lightly with touch of butter, and salt.

Snow peas


Vendor: Rasmussen Farm
.
English Peas (shell peas): Fresh green peas for shelling. You don't eat the pods but can use them to make a soup base. 1 lb may sound like a lot, but once you get the peas out of their pods it isn't so much after all.

(pictured) Sugarsnap peas - edible pods: Peas with edible pods, just pull off the stem. Snap peas are bigger and sweeter than snow peas.
According to the Fedco Seeds catalog, Sugarsnaps are, "One of the very best raw treats in the garden, far tastier than the dwarf varieties. Pods reach superb sweetness only when completely filled. Then they are incomparable." Most commercial growers grow "dwarf" snap pea varieties, since the shorter plants require less work to grow. Try these Sugarsnaps for a real pea-lover's treat!
