Fall Off The Bone

Mmmm mmm fall-off-the-bone soup!!

IMG_7883

Tonight’s soup was a twist on split pea. Whole Foods was out of split peas! We had about 3/4 a cup left in our jar, so we mixed in half lentils and made split pea soup with ham and lentils!

IMG_7865

This was a "fall off the bone" soup made with a small ham shank. I picked this up from Whole Foods. Would have liked to get something local, but alas, we ran out of time on grocery day. I put my trust in Whole Foods and Wellshire Farms (which I Googled in the store) on this one and from what I read on the website, it was acceptable. You have to just do your best.

Mmmmm soup!

IMG_7871

RECIPE Here: Ham, Lentil + Pea Soup

IMG_7886

We served the soup with homemade croutons (oven at 400* for 10 minutes) leftover from my dinner last night. This was GOOD BREAD!

IMG_7887

So was this!! Dakota on the side. I have to have something dry to enjoy with soup or it’s just not enough texture contrast!

What did the masculine man eat?

Soup, lots of bread and a bone. Mmmm….bonnnnne.

We are CRUSIN’ through our Nexflit queue these days. It’s because we’ve been eating dinner at 6PM! Suddenly we have the whole night to watch a movie. We watched Man on the Moon earlier this week and liked it a lot. Love period films, if you could call 1969 "historical"! Tonight we have Monster. I know absolutely nothing about it!

With the movie, we’re sipping an Imperial Stout from brewmaster Evan here in Cville (and Matt’s new friend!)

IMG_7912

This beer is SO sweet and SO dark that it’s like wine. Hence the wine glass.

Nite!

    As for Monster…I was seriously traumatized by that movie. I felt grossed out and violated just watching it. Charlize Theron does a great job acting but other than that it was often hard to watch! It’s even harder knowing its a true story…hopefully it won’t scare you as much as it did me!

    I went to rent a movie the other day (hubby hasn’t seen Coyote Ugly) and realized that video stores are becoming obsolete, so we’re considering Netflix. Of course, I’m worried that we would end up spending more time in front of the TV so I feel like we’re getting our money’s worth. . . .

    That wine-like beer sounds yummy based on your description 🙂

      Haha, okay, I just need to say that when this movie was in theaters, I was on a spontaneous first date with a guy I’d had a crush on for years. We randomly went to the movies and just picked something that was playing soon… and happened to pick Monster, without knowing what it was about!!

      Good movie, but so awkward on a first date, we walked out!

    Hi, I love your blog and I am now a freshman in college trying to become an RD too! I am having problems though with stress/boredom eating at night in the dorms. I will have cookies and stuff at night, but in the day I eat pretty healthy. I try not to keep cookies for this reason but for instance I got frozen yogurt downtown tonight and now just had a cookie. I also have been getting baked goods at this amazing cafe place downtown, but not going there for awhile because it costs a lot! I was wondering what tips you had from experience in college that would help stress/emotional eating because I feel like I am developing a problem with it. Especially because right now it is hard for me because a lot of people are starting to develop friendships but I have yet to really develop any except my roommate and a select few in classes. Thanks, I always look forward to reading your blog every day!

    I love split pea soup, and didn’t realize you could buy a ham bone just like that! I’m not a big ham person, but I do like it as a flavoring feature in soups. I’ll have to check this out at whole foods the next time I’m there. 😀
