Waking to a cloudy, cool Paris Monday in the aftermath of a migraine headache, we decided to just take it easy and stay in till later in the day. A light breakfast was eaten as we talked about the things we each wanted to address while we were staying in.
There's always a little laundry since the machine is small and the loads are long. And then, for my things, there's the drying rack which takes considerable time. I had some snail mail I wanted to write and also some emails I wanted to take care of.
At the market on Saturday we had purchased some fresh peas for a new pasta dish we wanted to try. I've never cooked with fresh peas, green beans yes, but not peas. In the US I never needed to since I could get frozen peas. I couldn't find them here so....fresh peas! So one of the things we did that morning was shell peas. I actually enjoyed the process and they looked beautiful!

Early that evening, before we went to BSF, we prepared the recipe "Lemon and Pea Carbonara", compliments of one of the bloggers I follow. The recipe was pretty easy. We used fresh pasta from the market and our fresh peas and, voila, a pretty, very tasty light dinner!!!

We buy the pasta for "deux" (two) so don't really expect much left but there is, so it looks like we'll have a nice little lunch some afternoon! And I'll be looking for other recipes where I can use fresh peas again!!!!
