Default REC: Split Pea Soup

<well, nothing positive really>

We went shopping late yesterday. Among the things we wanted was fresh
produce. Alas, that is hard to come by in this area. The stuff at Walmart
always seems to go bad after only a day or two. Dillons (a Kroger store in
Kansas) has better produce and the improvement is worth the price.

But, there just isn't anywhere to get a good selection of quality produce.
Even the farmer's markets (in season, of course) are a real crap shoot.
We'd do more "grow your own" but our yard is not shaped well for a garden.
We have a creek running through the back yard and most of the yard slopes
down toward it. If I till that up, I'll have erosion problems. I guess
I'm going to have to terrace part of it - if FEMA will let me do that.
