Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
One of Grandpa Ernie Fossum's favorites and a favorite of the grandkids on the farm. There are several white sauces, but this is best with fresh shelled peas. Grandma would have my brother Rick and I shell the peas, and she would sing hymns while making the rest of dinner or supper.
