Pea Soup

I've never had pea soup. But I felt today was a great day to try new things. I went into the kitchen this morning only to discover that I pretty much had nothing in my pantry. In the back of my cabinet hiding behind the sugar (John never organizes the cabinets the way I ask) I found a can of generic pea soup. I shrugged and decided I should try it since it was there and because there was nothing else.

What I made was amazing. I suggest this to anyone who wants something filling and savory. I literally just combined a few spices in my spice cabinet and voula.



Recipe:
  • One can of Green Pea Soup mixed with one can of milk
  • Ground black peppercorns
  • Mustard powder
  • Nutmeg
I put the soup and milk on the stove and added my spices (to taste) until the mixture was blended. It took me a while to get it perfectly blended and creamy but by the time I was done it was the consistency of potato soup. Once I was done, I added more nutmeg and some thyme as garnish.

Daily Outfit- St. Patrick's Day 2011

 Daily Outfit:
  • Hair- Handmade flower wreath (Hobby Lobby knick nacks!)
  • Makeup- MAC Creme de la Femme
  • Shoes- Earth Shoes
  • Jewelry- Tudor Rose copper coin pendant, Large brass Tudor Rose pendant
I wanted to wear something casual today so that I can move comfortably from party to party. I can't do much with my hair so I settled on the flower wreath I wore at my handfasting yesterday. That way it looked special and pretty for the occasion. Although I sure wish I had a green Lolita dress for today. That would be awesome.

It looks like the batteries we got were messed up and the problem was never my camera. Luckily, I found my rechargables and posts don't have to be delayed until I get a new one! Hooray!


I hope your day is full of Irish appreciation and good food, and lots of fantastic green beer!
