My pea soup...
Well, lately I've been in a very experimental mood...no, not experimenting with drugs, but experimenting with food! I do not consider myself a pro by any means, but I'm also not fully incompetent when it comes to the kitchen. Like most people, I can follow directions on a box, follow a simple recipe, or just throw stuff in a pot or pan and hope it turns into something edible. Tonight I made some split pea soup, courtesy of Ellie Krieger.
I was so amazed (and still am) by the color! It's the most unnatural shade of green I've ever seen. Usually you don't put colors like that into your body, but, stunningly, this soup was delicious! I even tried to go a little fancy with the presentation:
Exhibit A: Single soup bowl
Exhibit B: Pair of soup bowls
While I don't think I'm going to become a chef at a 5 star restaurant, I also think I'm actually getting a handle on this "cooking" thing...but then again, this is coming from the girl who is content eating a can of beans plain.
I guess old habits die hard...
Hopefully new habits take over old habits and stomp them to the ground...maybe squish them to a bloody pulp...ewww...

recipe, please!
I'm not going to lie...the unnatural green color horrified me at first. :) Yay for cooking adventures--I haven't had many of those lately.
I cannot resist:
Visualize whirred peas, eh?
Soylent green is WHAT!?!?!
