Eyes and mind are fading, I fear. I read "1/4 pound bacon", "1/2 pound peppercorns"! I thought, my God she did mean spicy! I had a good laugh all to myself afterwards. -- Wayne Boatwright ____________________________________________ Give me a smart idiot over a stupid genius any day. Sam Goldwyn, 1882-1974 |

It's good without it, too (I love the spices), but the pepperoni was missing from the first batch. It just seems more complete now. Carol -- Coming at you live, from beautiful Lake Woebegon |

I originally called it Chunky Split Pea Soup, but it's spicier than it is chunky. This is the first and only split pea soup that I've ever actually enjoyed. I just plain wouldn't eat it before. I hope you like it! Carol -- Coming at you live, from beautiful Lake Woebegon |
