Snowed In

At least 14 inches so far, on top of the 24+ inches last week, and school has been canceled for the whole week.

What to do?

I make soup. I just put the blending stick to split pea soup.

I got a soup/pea packet at the grocery store, and followed the recipe, adding onions, celery, carrots, and (my Sharon's* suggestion) a parsnip.

I also added cubed pastrami, which I cooked in cheese cloth, so that the meat flavored the soup, but II could pull the meat out when I blended it, and then I add the meat back to the soup.

Off to a late lunch.

*Love of my life, light of the cosmos, she who must be obeyed, my wife.
I know that ham and a ham bone is traditional for split pea soup, but if I were to use ham in my house, on my wife's dishes, my continued ability to breath would be in doubt, so no thank you, I like breathing.
