I have some partially completed projects floating around right now:

An advertisement that’s finished in my mind, but not on my computer screen.

A pile of merely thumbed through magazines sitting next to the new ones that won’t stop arriving.

A stack of manuals for a new camera that I made a weak attempt at starting.

I’m guessing… 5 loads of laundry I only got down to 3.

Multiple lists of things to cook - at least I’m at 9 out of 16 on that one.

Getting to this point in this very post was done over the course of 2 evenings.

And now you’re looking at some beautiful fresh peas that are in no way part of this recipe, but were going to be at one point!

Last week a friend and her daughter came over for an afternoon of foodieness, during which the peas would become a puree, served with the pan seared cod and rainbow chard.

As we started shelling them, we noticed them getting smaller and smaller. Slightly discouraged, we kept on shelling. Then some got crushed at the hands of a hilarious 2-year-old. We were left with barely a handful and figured, “eh”.

I just couldn’t let their lack of involvement sentence them to the “whoops” folder where my failed recipes (& their accompanying photos) go to die. Live on through the photos, you lovely little peas, LIIIIVE!

And so, this recipe also goes on my growing list of partially completed things.

Maybe it’s best this way. With my brain in a million different places at once, a two-part dish is a little more my speed. Pea puree can be done another day.

For now, simple pan seared cod with sauteed rainbow chard that is exploding with flavor. Mmhmm!
