and they were glad

i made it. no one complained or stalled or asked for a hot dog. yes, our friend, "split pea soup", made my evening fantastic. you take these very common 9 ingredient, put them in the crockpot, pour in the boiling water, & let 'er cook for 5 hours. it's a low-stress night when split pea soup is slow-cooking. we took a walk around the block, talked to some neighbors, played in the leaves, jason tried to fix the washing machine. all of that with the calm & confidence that soon enough our dinner would be, as promised, hearty & delicious.

My Mom makes it and by the 2nd day it is forkable. That is the best part of eating split pea soup. I think it falls in the same category Guiness does in the realm of beer imbibing, but this being soup, it pales the whimpish chicken noodle with five hours of not even trying, here's my pinkey finger pushing your noodle over, don't mess with my green split peas SOUP!

All right - I'm done.
