Here We have a delicious soup lunch! Every now and then, We get a freakishly intense craving for split pea soup. And no surprise. It's a delicious, protein-and-fiber heavy, warm food to eat during the sticky-cold FL winters. So here is a thermos of homemade split pea soup, which We make in the Crock Pot, some of the ubiquitous carrots, and a super-delicious bread that We made when We and Our friends had a Sherlock-viewing party.
Have you seen Sherlock? It's this fantastic reboot of the Sherlock Holmes stories, but the gimmick is that it's not set in Victorian London, but modern-day London. So instead of sending Watson aggravating notes, Sherlock sends him aggravating texts. Ha! It's charming. Watson is the dude that was Arthur Dent in the Hitchhiker reboot, which is very pleasing; We love that actor's attention to body language. And Holmes is played by--wait for it--Benedict Cumberbatch. Isn't that the Best Name Ever? Benedict Cumberbatch. It's absolutely unreal! And the dude does indeed do a wonderfully creepy/endearing Holmes, which We think is one of the benefits of the newer Sherlock versions--in the stories, Holmes is an utter jerk. Says the most awful, condescending things, besides being an addictive personality in about four different ways--which alwyas produces charming folks. It's why House works so well--they demonstrate the jerky side of Holmes and the enabling side of Watson. The Sherlock plots are new but full of fun easter eggs for people who are well read.
Here's the bread We made for that party: Garlic-Cheese Bread . It was really, really tasty.
