 We’re just about at the midpoint of winter and there’s one soup I can’t stop making, because it is perfect to warm me up on these cold days. A few weeks ago I was at the grocery store and there was a family pack of short ribs on sale. I put them into separate bags […]  Every January it is time to rejoice in the return of the Meyer lemon season! I have written before about Meyer lemons, last year when I made Meyer lemon curd from Marisa McClellan’s awesome book Food in Jars. (If you buy it through this link I make a few cents.) If you’re not familiar with these […]
 I don’t make meatloaf often enough, but tonight as the snow was flying outside seemed like a good night for it. One of the things I like about meatloaf is how versatile it is. you can toss in just about anything you have around. You can load it with veggies (I didn’t this time) use […]  I hear there is a BIG GAME this weekend, and I may be the only person in the USA who won’t be watching it. I can’t think of the last time I watched it, and I’m always a bit impressed with myself when I know what teams are playing. This year it has been almost […]
 She was a regular customer the summer I worked at Bruno’s Bakery on LaGuardia Place, but I never knew her name. She came in each morning with her dog and sat at one of the outside tables. Both she and her dog were remarkably tiny. He would sit on her lap as she drank her […]

Quirky Chrissy - I always make split pea or lentil soup. Or chili. I make chili ALL. THE. TIME. And that’s different every time.
nrlowell@comcast.net - Chrissy, I think chili may be my next mountain to conquer! I do really love lentil soup too, with sausage, or spinach, and always with lemon juice!
Peggy Gilbey McMackin - Hi Nancy, your soup sounds good and nice and warming for these cold days. I just bought some nice barley at Whole Foods Kimberton over the weekend for preparing, a worthwhile stop off once realizing the Phoenixville Farmers Market was closed for a break, and being my second visit aiming at a single ingredient that I seem to keep coming up short on! But alternatively now, there is always soup!
nrlowell@comcast.net - Yes, SOUP!! Did you go to the new Kimberton WF? Very nice!
Andrew M. Potterfield - Great story, great-sounding recipe! Split pea soup has been my go-to this winter. I have gotten into roasting chickens as well, and have been using the bones for stock. Let nothing go to waste!
nrlowell@comcast.net - Andy, split pea sounds good, and I love the idea of saving the bones! Very thrifty 🙂
Meatless Monday Recipe Two-fer » Chefs Last Diet - […] but there are plenty of soup recipes already here. Some of my favorites are, in no particular order: beef barley, carrot sage, senate bean and split pea. I’m already thinking out clam chowder for […]
