    Default Well, supper tonite was GOING to be......

    split pea soup. I had the onions, the carrots, the celery, the garlic, the broth......
    and I went to get my split peas soaking for a bit this afternoon, and uh-oh... only 1/2 cup of them. UGH I needed 2 1/4 cups.
    soooooo, I used lentils to make up the difference!!! then, I went to go get a potato for my soup, and uh-oh, NO POTOATOES~.... so I used cauliflower instead!!

    and it was de-lish!!!
    that, and homemade cornbread!

    but the part of this whole thing that really struck me is how I have learned to "drop back and punt", or make do, over the years. It saves so many ways, time, money, less waste. I really felt good about our meal tonite.

    ~thanks for listening~

    Mahalo for sharing - it sounds delicious!!
    Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.
