[...] school food. Funny, though, when you look at dry beans, they don’t even look like food. (See this) They’re hard, they don’t really smell good, (or bad) and well, let’s face it. [...]

Thanks for the info! Good to know.
The Damsel has heard of this before, especially with beans such as pinto, etc. Maybe they can be used for ammunition.

So glad you like the blog and hope you’ll stop by often.

Erica’s mom here! Fun blog and much needed. Must beg to differ on the peas keeping forever, though. If kept long enough, you could cook them through the Millenium and they wouldn’t get soft. :^0 Even in a pressure cooker. Please don’t ask how long is enough. Let’s just say it’s something shy of forever.

Dang! I will never again doubt the Damsel. That final product looks good enough to eat!

thanks for posting! I thought it was very tasty and it seems like it is the first time I’ve ever had split pea soup…Sheesh, now I will have to buy a ham bone just so I can make this yumminess! Ah the sorrow of it all….:)

Sprogs and Asians alike fear the humble split-pea. I have to be up for eating the whole pot myself when I attempt such a recipe. But I love it!

And I love your new blog!

I actually like split pea soup but haven’t even thought about making it. And I haven’t had it in forever. Another old school soup is scotch broth…love that one! Haven’t seen it in years on the shelves at stores. It has barley and either beef or lamb bits in it.
