Pea Pods and Beef with Rice

I sent R to the store to get a bag of frozen pea pods....he came home with a bag of green beans. I specified on the list.......pea pods. So back to the store he went and then he came home with a bag of sugar snap peas. Ladies....he's all mine.....you can't have him.

While I was preparing the food he walked by and said, "those aren't pea pods." Then I gave him 'the look' and he went away.

Even those the pea pods weren't pea pods it was still very good.
