Do you guys remember that story that Mom always tells about how she accidentally called it spit pea soup? How embarrassing ;)
One night it was definitely time to go to bed, but Good Eats was starting and Alton Brown was talking about how to get people who don't like peas to eat their peas, and since my husband is one of those people, we decided to stick around.
I was glad we did, because he started out with a split pea soup recipe that sounded pretty easy--and would help me use up some of the split peas I'd gotten from WIC checks...anyway, it turned out really yummy, and even my dubious husband gulped down his share. Now the new mystery is how to make it look more appealing!

Actually, it the slip was "split sea poop!" And, yes, it was embarrassing.
ReplyDeletePut a dollop of sour cream, chopped tomatoes and green onions on top. Or sprinkle chopped crisp bacon. Anything with flavors and colors that would complement the soup. And I don't know if I spelled dollop or complement correctly. I'm too tired to go look them up in the dictionary.
