What to do with snap peas!

I've been getting my new zone 1 vegetable beds established, with a combination of perennials and rotating annuals. I didn't get them going until late summer, so I threw a handful of veggies in there, including some fall peas in about half the beds to build up healthy soil. I'll probably be planting peas and beans in all the beds every year, but I'm discovering that I have unintentionally been extremely successful this fall, mostly through benign neglect!

What would you do with an overabundance of snap and snow peas?? We love them and we've been snacking daily, and giving them to our parakeets when they get a little overripe and bitter, and I know we can use them in stir fries. But we still aren't eating them fast enough! Other suggestions??

Honestly just eat them straight is the best answer, snap peas don't need much help. If you really have more than you can eat, blanch and freeze them - they hold up pretty well in stir fries all winter.

Ooh, I didn't realize that blanching and freezing them would still hold up! And yes, we eat them every day and it's too much for us. I can start giving them away at work, but the school where I work is actually on break right now!
