(no subject)

So, seriously, when did it start to be socially acceptable and even normal to greet the news of someone's death by convening an inquiry on the spot to decide whether they "deserve" sympathy or not?

Ok, actually, forget that question. how do we make it stop?

An unusual culinary goal

I am attempting to make enough pea soup to feed exactly four people, with no leftovers.

As dried peas appear to be directly descended from Napoleon (la soup du jour de gloire?) this is something of a challenge.

I think I've cracked it, though:

One small hambone or a handful of cooked, diced ham (omit if desired)

1 1/2 C dried green peas
2 medium carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
2 3 C veggie broth
4 6 C water
1/4 C onion flakes
2 bay leaves
1 t Pepper
2 T Ozark seasoning

Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, stir every so often for 3 hours or until the peas are correctly mushed)

So far so good ...

ETA

Exactly four servings. Happy slurping has ensued.
