The other night, I found the Easter hambone... in the freezer.
Therefore: Split Pea Soup!
And it was just wonderful. I even froze two containers for future use.
You may remember, I brought home some ham from a Christmas party I worked, and I thought some lily-gilding was in order. I added ridiculous amounts of this gorgeous ham to our soup bowls last night... topped that with steaming soup... thinned with some milk... and then baguette croutons made with EVOO, smoked salt, and pepper.
Absolutely nothing else needed on a cool spring night!
OK! Maybe some wine!!!
