Diversify with English Peas
By Olivia Fowler
For the Courier

English or green peas have a distinct sweet flavor whether they are fresh or frozen. There are a number of different delicious ways to prepare peas, but it’s important to remember that the key to success is in the quality of the pea.
If you can get fresh peas, make sure you know how fresh they are. The longer they’ve been picked and the bigger they are, the less flavor they will have.
Canned peas are not recommended for these recipes. They are inferior to frozen or fresh peas, as they’re full of sodium, are usually large, with tough skins, and are an unappealing color.
The key to optimum flavor for this week’s featured recipes is to buy baby peas in the freezer section and to be very careful not to overcook them. The cooked peas should be a bright green and should be slightly firm.

PICKENS — Although some residents showed up to voice concerns, the Pickens County Planning Commission approved a land-use change for a proposed 324-lot single-family gated community located along Midway Road north of Pickens.
The commission’s meeting Monday night drew a crowd with questions and concerns about the development.
William Findley, one of the three owners of the property, said Laurel Creek Plantation will be built on a 288-acre tract.
“It is a 55-and-older gated community,” he said. “We choose to do 55 and older, gentlemen, because we felt it was less intrusive on the

Man sentenced for rapes, kidnapping
PICKENS — A Greenville man was sentenced to 30 years in prison last week after pleading guilty to crimes, including criminal sexual conduct and kidnapping, that occurred in Easley.
Antwon Marcees Rogers, 31, pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, kidnapping and armed robbery, 13th Circuit Solicitor Walt Wilkins said in a news release.
Assistant solicitors Doug Richardson and Brandi Hinton presented evidence establishing Rogers entered a woman’s room at the Quality Inn in Easley on July 27, 2015, pushed her onto the bed and raped her at knifepoint, Wilkins said.
He then forced her into a bathroom and robbed her of a cellphone and $250 cash, according to Wilkins, who added that video surveillance showed Rogers running from the room after the crimes.
A little less than two weeks later, on Aug. 9, 2015, a second woman was renting a movie
