Split pea soup. It is sleeting here and supposed to snow (eeek!) late this
afternoon. I'm making split pea soup... I seem to have lost your recipe.
All I can remember is the pepperoni. I have that. I have no ham hocks so
I'm browning slices of salt pork until crisp. I have onions, garlic... does
your recipe call for carrots? I have some "baby carrots" I bought for the
bird

My recipe actually calls for a lot of carrots. Just toss some in
until it looks right. You can skip them altogether if you want to. I
know you're not a huge fan.

Holy cow! I'm so glad you like it, and like it so much! Always gives
me a smile when someone likes my recipes. Thanks for this morning's
