Creole Garlic Peas

Peas lightly cooked with a little butter and garlic plus Creole mustard and mushrooms. Tweaked from my 1959 "Farm Journal's Country Cookbook"... they actually call it "French Peas", but that makes me think of the lettuce leaf thing; this title is more descriptive of the yummy taste.
