Thanks, Sheila. You've really put my mind at ease. I did another

search looking for what I had seen before, and I think the message

that I panicked on was

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/pecanbread/message/33953. It's

a message saying that green peas are legumes and needs to be soaked

first. I never soak & throw away the water before using frozen green

peas (before giving it to the kids straight, crockpot cooking it, or

stir-frying it). Because I didn't do the soaking thing, I thought it

was illegal.

Thanks so much,

Angie
