Mmmm, that reminds me of one of the old chain restaurants in L.A., forgetting the name but they made a delicious split pea soup served with a tiny carafe the size of a shot glass with sherry in it. Even when I was quite underage they would serve it that way, making me feel very grown up. Split pea soup simply has to have sherry in it.
I think that’s one addition that might make me actually LIKE pea soup :-)
Ooh, great story. I know you felt so sophisticated. Hope you are not in any danger zone.
