Brad and Toni haven’t been married long…and things tend to develop slowly in the Luanniverse…but they’ll probably want to wait to become parents until Shannon grows up a bit or they don’t have her with them so much.
Fed them to the dog, squished them in my napkin, put them in the empty milk carton in the trash. Once I had to sit at the table till I ate my peas. Sat there for awhile, opened the top of the wooden salt shaker and stuffed them in. Went out to play. My dad came home for dinner and thought the salt shaker was empty, he opened it to refill and found my peas all squished in there. Ruh-ro! I had to come in and eat a serving of peas, and not gag or barf. To this day I won’t eat peas.
Remember when Brad and Toni were relevant characters? And probably had the best story arc in the history of this comic? And now they’re merely afterthoughts.
It’s nice that Brad has such good memories with his sister. They certainly had fun, together and at each other’s expense. This is how it must be for all siblings.
Peas are a bit easier to eat in a white sauce with baby onions. They are less likely to roll all over your plate or off your spoon/fork. Split pea soup is also a great option.
I put peas in my oatmeal in the morning. What, haven’t you heard of peas porridge? Problem is, you have to keep it in the refrigerator for nine days. Or, I could just eat it hot.
I’m 77 but when I was a small child I would watch my Grandad eat peas with a table knife. I didn’t care for peas back then and even now, so I never mastered the skill
There is a scene in a Marx Brothers movie (can’t remember which one!) where the character is at a fancy dinner, quietly, desperately trying to get his peas on a fork. They don’t quite make it to his mouth, so he is forced to chase them around his soup bowl on the platter underneath. No words, but hilarious.

Toni and Brad should be teaching Shannon correct table manners. She will not learn unless she is taught what society expects from her.

there’s no gravy on those plates to float the peas in, keep them glued together; everything dry and separate. Not sure this is a TJ meal.

That is why you serve peas with mashed potatoes. I usually put mine in a bowl and use a spoon though.
