Step One..Boil any smoked bone that you may have..

Smoked Neck Bones
Or Bacon for that matter..for one hour!!

Step Two..Add a pinch of..
Salt

Boil that for another 2 1/2 hours till all the peas boil down to a thick mush!!

Step Three..Enjoy!!!

    Pigs should stay out of bars, meat markets, and kitchens! I will say no more at this time...

    I get all my meat at Cows, Pigs and Beyond. Yep, it's right next to Bed, Bath and Beyond...

    That looks great and, to your credit, doesn't remind me at all of The Exorcist.:)

    Is it lunchtime yet? Yum - nothing like it on a cold day - (or any day!) As said by Anthony Bourdain - all roads lead to pork.

    Do peas make you fart? Maybe not if they are already split.

    'cockles'....

    SUCH a good word.

    Warming them sounds even better.

    What if you don't have any smoked bone?

    Mmmm...pumperknickel. I haven't had that in soooo looong.

    I need to get my piggies painted tomorrow.

    Oh, my God! I love the Exorcist!!

    I always try to come up with interesting things in my head for the mysterious acronyms in Serena Joy's comments.

    Today's was:

    I Have A Ham Bone In Heaven.

    Not to be a jerk but when do you add the split peas? I think you left it out unless I somehow missed it.

    I love split pea soup. It all looks so yummy.
