I used to snap the tips off green beans with my mom.

Not quite the same, but similar.

All that stuff. And cracked walnuts and pecans. Hard work. We had a huge garden. We were poor growing u, but we always had fresh, home grown, or home made food.

My parents would be somewhat disappointed at some of my spending habits, especially in regard to food.

Very similar. Used to do that, too, for my Mom. I still do it at home.

I'm sort of sad that peas now come shelled.

Iowa, I can remember we always had a big wooden bowl of pecans and walnuts out. It was sort of treat to get to try to shell them.

Everything today is mechanized, computerized, or otherwise "ized" and way too fast. It's convenient and since today's world demands instant or quick, it's necessary, I guess. I miss the slower days, sometimes, though. I also miss not being able to be instantly found.
