So, I had this left over ham hock

[compuwiz1]

Guess what I did?

Damn, I wish I had a digital cam.

Anyway, I put the water in the pan, threw in some chopped onions, chopped celery, garlic, salt, pepper, and the split peas, etc. I boiled the stuff, then threw in the ham hock. Now it's simmerin, slow and aromatic.

This is gonna be so good!

Yeps, but damn it's hard to wait! I did go stir the pot, and fork out a little taste of ham.

You are going to be "aromatic" for the next day or two.

Sounds delicious. It's a testament to someone's culinary abilities when they can take a handful of ingredients and make something great out of it w/no recipie to follow.

Email me a bowl when it's done.

Call up Carl Weathers. He's always up for getting a stew going on.

Next time throw in a bay leaf or two. Really adds to the flavor of split pea soup......
