Monday was Presidents' Day so it was a short work week for many. How is it that the shortest weeks can also be so busy?!

My week was a whirlwind of activity: new bus routes, tupperware lunches, library books and dinner in my (messy) kitchen.

But I made it through.

Sure, I didn't go to the gym and there were a few nights that I went to bed early and when my alarm clock rang in the morning I thought: hurmph. Luckily this wasn't anything that couldn't be cured with coffee.

I made soup and ate it.<!--more-->

It's split pea. It was so good and ridiculously easy. I just followed the recipe on the bag.

Two things. First, a full recipe was a <em>little</em> too much for my crock pot causing it to overflow slightly when the dried peas soaked up the liquid. Ops! Second, I really don't know how much kitchen got so messy. Aren't crockpots supposed lend themselves to one pot meals?!

Split pea soup isn't very sexy but it's darn good and that's good enough for me.
