There are possibly 80 billion galaxies in the universe, so that means that there are about 4Ã1068 Ã 8Ã1010 = 3Ã1079 hydrogen atoms in the observable universe. But this is definitely a lower limit calculation, and it ignores many possible atom sources such as intergalactic gas.
Bring the water to a boil and steam the peas for no more than three to four minutes. Steam the peas for less time if you plan to incorporate the peas into a heated dish. Remove the pot from the heat and plunge the steamed peas into a bath of ice water to stop the cooking process and to help the peas retain their color.
Melt a dab of butter in a heavy saucepan and add the shelled peas. Cover the peas with heavy cream and cook gently until the peas are tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Just before serving, add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.ou will need 3 to 4 pounds of peas in the pod to yield enough shelled peas to serve 4 people. Preparation: Fresh garden peas should be shelled just before cooking. Rinse the pods under cold running water; rub the pods gently to remove soil. To shell peas, snap off the stem end of the pod.
