In Detroit I grew up enjoying something called a "Boston cooler" which is, of course, something people in Boston have never heard of. If memory serves correctly, it was Vernors soda (a type of ginger ale that used to only be available in the Detroit area, but now is more ubiquitous) and vanilla ice cream. My dad was a soda "jerk" as a teen, and would make these for us. And of course you can get something called an "egg cream" in NYC which doesn't contain eggs, so why not a milkshake in Boston w/o milk... But here's a gardening question: do you need to blanch peas before drying them (for eating), or can you just let 'em dry?? And if I was (hypothetically, of course, ahem) negligent and let a bunch of peas dry on the vine until they're practically little stones, can I save these to plant next year, or should I just throw them away?
