Creamy Peas with Bacon

I have this random memory from my childhood of one of us somehow finding out that my dad doesn't like peas.  Now this was a big deal because my parents seem to like just about everything.  And even when confronted with it, my dad denied it and would still eat peas when my mom served them.  In truth, I still don't know if my dad really likes peas or not, but peas always make me think of him.  Peas aren't really my most favorite vegetable, either, but when served like this I do not turn them down.  Bacon makes everything better, right?  And bacon is totally healthy when served up with mushrooms and peas.  So go ahead and enjoy.
