ENGLISH PEAS
It takes a bit of effort to shell these little guys, but it's worth it for their sweet, delicate flavor.
SHOP They're most commonly found at farmers markets (or in your own garden!).
Look for plump, firm pods with no browning.
STORE Keep them for just a day or two in the refrigerator in an airtight container. The sooner you cook them, the sweeter they'll be.
EAT Shell the peas (compost the pods) and blanch them in lightly salted water. Toss with chopped mint and extra-virgin olive oil for a side, or smash them and pile onto toast.
They're also irresistible lightly sautéed in butter or eaten straight out of the shell.

Go With Your Gut - Each of us has a little voice inside that knows more than the conscious mind. It's called intuition, and it deserves your attention.
Cognitive scientists, who study how human beings think and reason, generally define intuition as knowledge gained without rational thought, and they believe it's a natural part of how our brains work. Humans have two main ways of absorbing information. One is a slow, deliberate process, in which we methodically analyze details for instance, comparing two laptop models before buying. The second happens almost instantly, and the insight feels like it came out of the blue. In fact, though, it's based on data we've gathered subconsciously over time and, in a flash, connected with our past experiences.
