It only got up to 45F (7.2C) today, but it's supposed to warm up a little over the weekend. The basil got frosted a bit, but I think I rescued it in time. It'll stay inside now.
I'm back to oatmeal for breakfast, now that fall is here. Made a pot of yellow split pea soup, and put half in the freezer.
Swedish Yellow Split Pea Soup (Ärter med Fläsk)
1 lb (2 C) yellow split peas 8 C cold water 2 finely chopped medium onions 1 whole onion, peeled & studded with 2 whole cloves 1 lb lean salt pork in one piece (I use 5-oz. Hormel canned ham, shredded with liquid) 1 teaspoon leaf marjoram ½ teaspoon thyme salt to taste
Throw everything in the pot & bring it to a boil. Turn the heat down so it simmers for about 2 hours. Serve with rye bread.
