  it is one of those dishes that sounds ok, but likely i'll
never make it because i'm not a huge fan of rice (other than
rice pudding which i do like because of the raisins, nutmeg
and custard if you make an egg version).  Mom certainly won't
make it, she doesn't have the patience for that sort of
cooking.

  split pea and ham soup with toast.  not super special but
we both like it enough to make it a few times a year.
standard ingredients: peas, celergy, carrots, onions,
potatoes, tomato chunks.

  i think we're doing potato soup next.
