Middle east Quote by Jenny Chandler
““PEA (PISUM SATIVUM) Peas are one of the ancient crops from the Fertile Crescent of the Middle East, which have been cultivated for around 9,000 years. They quickly spread across Europe and Asia and became a key source of protein in much of northern Europe. Peas are a winter crop in the Mediterranean basin, thriving in the cooler, damper weather, and so they are brilliantly suited to the northern climate.””

![“We spend less time with each other now than we did during the presidency. When you're president, you're usually out and back in the same day - at least I was. I just came from a trip to the Middle East last week, where I was gone for five nights, and when I left, Laura [Bush] was out of town.” quote by George W.
