Simple Spring Pea Soup

June 29, 2010

Greetings from Tuesday night. Before I say another word, those were some amazing responses to my last post. Blogging is so funny; one never knows which posts will strike a chord.

Usually, writing about food is the toughest part of my job. Today, it’s the easiest.
