Ok, our weather radio just sounded. All the counties around us are now under a tornado watch. It's 70 degrees and we're supposed to be in the upper teens overnight. This could be a rough afternoon!!

Thanks for the warning...guess it's heading our way tomorrow. I hope there's some moisture involved. Tell me there is!

Another from the commish kitchen

SPlit Pea Soup

2 Packages Dries Split Peas
1 lb chopped ham (Or using a ham bone during the holidays)
1 whole onion
1 smal package baby carrots
Seasonings (to taste) - Season-all, Garlic powder, seasoned pepper.

Soak peas overnight (you can soak them with or without the ham -- I soak with a Ham bone, but not when I just have chopped ham.)
Finely chop Onion and carrots
Combine peas, ham, Onion, Carrots with 12 cups water.
add seasonings to taste (you may wish to add salt to taste as the soup gets done)
Bring pot to a slow boil
Reduce heat to Medium (if you want soup done in 2 hrs) or Low if you wish to simmer it all morning/afternoon
Cook until pease are completely Mushy and the soup has a thick consistancy.

Serve with freshly baked Bread, crackers or my favorite German brotchen.

[luvie]

Take care...hope you get no tornadoes. I guess we're part of the same system...probably not as cold though.

[AZamericonnie]

You to Diva!

[TASMANIANRED]

I need to go back and rank some of my other recipes.


You are now famous. LOL.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, commish, for your recipe. I see HOT!! More than a few are able to handle hot, me not being one of them. LOL!!

[AZamericonnie]

WOO HOO, Connie, thanks for Hank and the other guy!

LOL...I never heard of him either!

[luvie]

I always seem to get famous for the weirdest things! LOL! But this one is a winner. Everyone knows how I am! :o)

[TASMANIANRED]

I hate to depart such splendid company.

Lunch is over and I have a date with a ladder.

[commish]

Kathy --- Change the Andouille to smoked sausage, Drop the Cajun Seasoning and change the Rotel to 4 cans of Diced Tomatoes (I like Basil, Garlic & ORegano style), and just lightly season and youhave a mild version. :-)
