Back on the thread topic, I'm almost afraid to write this so I don't jinx it. My wife agreed to let me make my homemade split pea soup for dinner tonight. She claims she doesn't like it, so this is a big deal. Maybe it's just that her taste is only about 85% back after COVID

.
Anyway, my company gives MLK day off, and her company doesn't. So I will happily start putting my soup together around 2:30 today while she's working. Can't wait to smell those ham hocks simmering.
I have a relatively short list of foods that I have permission to cook any time. Pea soup is on it and I am grateful for that.
