Sis came over so I made one of her faves, split pea soup with lots of carrots, some garlic and shallots, green split peas. Other pic is the ham that I was able to shave off and dice up, from the smoked shank that simmered in water all morning to create the stock.I added the ham back in and mashed up the peas after they got all squishy. Of course, I will give her a whole big bucket of it to take home when she comes back after work, since it’s too many carbs for me. Smells amazing in here.

It’s way too hot for soup here, but that is one of my favorites when it’s cold outside. :))
It’s been cool and rainy all day yesterday and today here. Not complaining AT ALL 🙂 Actual spring weather, for once.
Well we’ve gone full blown summer down here, it’s 92 degrees and 78% humidity. It feels like 100 degrees. I’ve not been very hungry since this heatwave started. I envy your cool, rainy weather.
YUCK
Ha ha don’t be too jealous. It’s still a bit muggy. We had QUITE a few days last month of 80+ temps and moderate humidity, but thank goodness it was breezy enough and the house I live in is very shaded…I say thank goodness because the a/c isn’t allowed to be turned on til June 1, which is when I pay a few bucks extra to the landlord (still very cheap). I have a portable unit on wheels that sticks a tube out the window. It works very well to cool my whole place which is pretty small.
I have one of those just for my bedroom, then I don’t have to cool the whole house at night. I try to keep the thermostat at 76 all summer and use the portable at night. I love that little thing, and now if I go stay somewhere else I have a hard time sleeping without the noise of it running. 🙂
Yeah, it can be a bit noisy, but it’s a steal for me at only a few bucks extra tacked on to my rent every month til October
