Split Pea Soup

So... All comments about myself not being able to or liking to cook should be revoked as of now. Considering the fabulous job I did making a pot of Split Pea Soup... I did good. I started out with one of those dried soups in a cellophane (very low impact) packaging with just the peas and some other stuff in it, not so much in the flavoring department. I added some leftover pork loin, cut into small pieces, as well as two different packets of Sazon Goya (one Con Azafran and the other Sin Achiote) and some freshly ground pepper. I ended up bringing it to a boil and then simmered it for an hour. I had to add at least a cup of water at the end because it had simmered off a great deal of the water I had started with. And I put more water into the leftovers because it had thickened even more so I get to have it as a yummy lunch tomorrow.

W00T!

*dances around the kitchen*

Tomorrow I get the ingredients for another couple of soups - one being a nice, thick and hearty corn chowder and the other being a shrimp/kielbasa & chicken gumbo. Yum. I'm actually starting to feel more excited about getting balanced meals together and not doing the typical "what do you want" back and forth crappola. When that happens hours go by, we (the CoB and I) both get cranky, and no food gets made until late late at night. And lemme tell ya, the CoB gets SUPER crabby when he doesn't get fed regularly. *smirk*

Damn, now I feel like baking.

*imagines the Who's celebrating*

All hail the mighty tasty Split Pea Soup! Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

Ahhh, pretty good Smallville, and now: Bring on the CSI! WASH from Firefly is in this episode!!!111

Yay! I'm summart.

Thanks to sunfell and crabbyolbastard for making me want to take this... I had seen it before and resisted but, hell, I wanted to belong to the group.

You paid attention during 97% of high school!

85-100% You must be an autodidact, because American high schools don't get scores that high! Good show, old chap!

Do you deserve your high school diploma?

Edit:

The only question I got wrong was (True/False) Did Christopher Columbus land his ships in/on North America in 1492. I, taught with the old "In Fourteen hundred and ninety two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue" sing-song telling of his discoverty of North America. More recent scholarship has Columbus only landing as close as the Bahamas - which doesn't count apparently. Besides, the Norse may have been the first discoverers... while the settlers of North America had crossed the land bridge in Alaska long long ago.

The arguable one, According to the CATHOLIC religion, who is referred to in/as The Immaculate Conception Jesus or Mary. The answer is Mary. (I recalled this from a while back... that Mary had to be born without sin to be the mother of Jesus to begin with, so she was born free of original sin.) CoB complained that this question biased the test for those who attended Catholic School. I agreed.
