    I had roast beef & swiss sandwiches before the game ...... the ZITI are next week now.

  • Sick person in the house so we made plain ole breast of chicken & rice soup and some made from scratch rolls from a local deli.

  • The baby backs just started their third hour on coals. Seasoned with salt, white pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and smoked paprika. I don't wrap and just put some honey on. They'll probably go another hour or so.

    The beef was dry brined with salt, then seasoned with coarse salt, coarse pepper and coarse garlic. I just pulled it sliced an onion, cut butter into TB pads, placed the butter and the onion on the beef three layers of wrap and a foil pan. The beef probably has 2-3 more hours.

    Here we go Brownies, here we go! (Hoo, hoo!)

    Dear MJP, what blasphemous mockery is this?

    Split pea soup is part of Dutch heritage, and made with 'rookworst' (smoked sausage)! Having it without is like having a grilled cheese sandwich without cheese. You might as well have left out the peas!

    Better yet just leave out the peas and give me a smoked sausage sandwich. I'll decide which BBQ sauce to use.?

    Well HI to our  Korsou Dawg  and others,  I recently came across several  split pea soup and different variations  so I wanted to get out some of my normal  simple, easy to do and understand to our friends and followers here  PLUS  they  must  be delicious for the average  of my 35 to 40 usual email viewers and my  TBB  group here. ...... not always easy to do. 

    Sometimes it is very easy depending on the recipe, afterall how complicated can  SPLIT PEA SOUP be ?    We are in the casserole, chili and soup season right now ..... one of my favorites of the year ..... and it makes the house smell so good.

    I  will  follow this rather simple  SPLIT PEA SOUP  recipe with a few additional variations that first I  (and my scratch cook wife)  like  and follow my normal  easy to do and of course always   delicious .

    SO   " hang in there "  I've got more to do on this  simple but delicous soup and related recipes.

    ~AND ~   Bon Appétit ,  good appetite   (also bon appetit ) a phrase, originally from French, meaning  "good appetite". said to someone who is about to eat, meaning "I hope you enjoy your food".     mjp.
