Pea Sou...California, southern San Joaquin Valley.<br />.<br />Pea Soup Andersen restaurant "...in the friendly little town of Santa Nella off Interstate Five near Los Baños..."<br />.<br />One-price all-you-can-eat split pea soup.<br />The thought of unlimited any kind of food has a certain appeal to a kid raised on a farm.<br />.<br />I got close to nearly finishing most of one bowl before it nearly killed me.<br />.<br />And 'yes', the nearby landmark of the thriving community of Los Baños translates as 'those toilets'.<br />Residents seem to merely shrug at any suggestions for up-dating their image.LargeMargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01530497760743766465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365858055267871677.post-26686745309522837192021-11-29T19:25:56.834-05:002021-11-29T19:25:56.834-05:00Irish - Quite an operation - U R ready to feed the...Irish - Quite an operation - U R ready to feed the multitude - I had (neighbor gift) venison steak, and garden fried potatoes with chopped beet greens & warm pesto sauce - all (except salt & olive oil) was home grown.

My experience has been that going from cheap to good to better to best on knives is how long they hold that edge.merhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05311918223393197143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365858055267871677.post-76570072945068324332021-11-28T01:58:51.090-05:002021-11-28T01:58:51.090-05:00I have a huge stockpot.

Scoop out the chunks, save the meat for turkey pot pie, discard the bones and skin, then boil it all down big-time, until it's only about 4-5 inches deep. Pour that into a regular big bowl or pan, refrigerate, it'll gel, scoop off the fat and then distribute the gelled stock into ziploc bags and freeze. Best turkey stock ever for pot pies or soups.Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293778848879361153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365858055267871677.post-85698846715717987552021-11-28T00:43:00.461-05:002021-11-28T00:43:00.461-05:00Now throw a bag of noodles into that cooker and ma...Now throw a bag of noodles into that cooker and make Turkey soup!Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15695733883033137146noreply@blogger.com
