Peas N Carrots
The other day, I was hungry and began digging around in my freezer trying to find a wayward fudgesicle or perhaps a bag of tater tots that had slipped into a deep crevice. I found this. Peas N Carrots.
I'm pretty damned sure that I never purchased this item. What would I do with it? I certainly wouldn't eat it. Poor-man's marbles? Maybe that's what I was thinking??? But no, because the carrots are squares. Perhaps I thought those carrots could double as the little real-estate in "Life" the boardgame? Maybe I was going to string them on a thin wire -- alternating colors -- and create a festive bracelet?
No, I never bought these. I'm sure of it. So, they must have been given to me as a gift. "Thank You" to whomever gave me these if you're reading this. I'm sure that I've at least nursed a sore ankle with my bag o' Peas N Carrots. So thanks.
By the way, I checked the date on my Peas n Carrots. I'm proud to announce that my babies are turning FOUR this January! I know, huh? They grow up so fast.
These Peas N Carrots are the "Encino Man" of the frozen veggie world. By the time they finally thaw out, they will feel shame over their antiquated ways and will marvel at the modernization of the new world.

You are welcome.I think I left those with you when I left Arizona. I am happy to see you are getting a lot of use out of them.
Emmy's Mom -- You know, I thought that might have been you who gave me the frozen Peas N Carrots. REmember you spent the night over here that last night before flying to CT? Did I ever tell you that I'd left a piece of chocolate on the pillow for you as a joke, but you didn't see it, and then when I moved the pillow it was all smashed under there and for a split second, I thought it was smeared poop.
Like the new format. You have too much wit to relegate you posts to just hate. This item, like some I have in my cabinet, is one of those things that if you ever eat them, it means you (and you husband) have been unemployed for a few years. So be thankful the peas 'n carrots remain.
Marc -- Thank you!
As you might remember, I was unemployed for a year and STILL never had to bust into those Peas n Carrots but I do remember being one of those annoying housewives who'd clog up the grocery store line with a bucketful of coupons.
I saved some sweet money with that shit. But I felt really domestic and common while doing it. Now that I'm working again, I can bask in my feelings of grandeur once again as I pay FULL PRICE like my other middle-class peers.
You must have purchased them for an injury and forgot you had them.
Many people use them for ice packs when they have an ankle sprain or tennis elbow.
Nobody eats frozen veggies do they?
And please ask your hubby why the hippie gives him a link but he ignores me?
Man...
