We are in our 8th day of icy weather (unusual for this part of Oregon), and DH has expressed a wish for pea soup with ham; I have some in the freezer from the last time I made it. As that is off my menu now I think I will defrost a couple of the lamb kidneys I bought the other week, and make this recipe for me this evening, as I happen to have everything needed in the house. How nice, on a snowy, cold day to be able to stay indoors, and play in the kitchen. And not have to brave the roads getting to the shops.
