I was up at 4:30 this morning, what a way to start a 4 day holiday weekend. So here I sit a little sleep deprived and logy trying to get myself motivated to start a batch of Split Pea Soup. May need a nap prior to embarking on that project.
Up until yesterday, the temperature had been in the mid forties. I was hoping that warmer weather would hold on a couple more days so that I could have gotten a chance to clean up the garden area in the workshop, vacuum out the car and get rid the pumpkins from the front porch. I surely don’t want to go out in this twenty degree weather to do this. Such a wimp!
Opting for a nap and a little reading I did not get around to the Split Pea Soup, so that will have to wait until tomorrow.
I did however manage a simple soup for dinner tonight – served with whole wheat french bread and a mixed green salad. You may make this a little more “spicy” by adding a touch of hot paprika. Enjoy!
