Yesterday, while watching Michael Smith on 'Chef at Home', I decided to make a split pea soup that he demonstrated. With the cold weather we've been having lately, a soup sounded pretty good to me. So, this morning, I took out a package of frozen bacon to thaw. It, with onions, carrots, thyme, and bay leaves, will be the flavour base for the soup. He used split green peas but I only have yellow on the shelf so I'll just use what I have. A nutritious soup and salad for supper, coming right up!
Today, I also hope to run a few errands. It's been awhile since I've been anywhere but here at home so I'm looking forward to getting out. I'm actually looking forward to doing a bit of grocery shopping and picking up a couple of small gifts that I still need to get for Christmas. As someone pointed out to me recently, there are only ten days left before Christmas!
Soup sounds good to me! Hope you had fun shopping after your time at home.
