Tonight we had the Split Pea Soup V+ (pg 54) for dinner and Date Pecan Squares V++ (pg 176) for dessert. Both were very good. The soup is very hearty and very much like the pea soup you might be used to. I cooked it a little longer than recommended in an attempt to get the peas a little mushier but I guess you would have to cook it for hours to get that consistency. So I ran 1/2 the pot of soup through the blender to give it a creamier consistency. I also added a couple of potatoes which I think helped (being Irish I believe potatoes help everything).
The Date Pecan Squares were scrumptious. It is hard to imagine that such a super healthy dessert could taste so good. I used walnuts, as I was out of pecans and they were wonderful. I served them to company tonight and I will make them for company at Christmas and New Years Eve. In fact, I think I will go have one or two right now...........

Oh, I hope you did two. You deserve them. I have been having Sam and Ruth withdrawals. Miss you both and our times together terribly. Hopefully we will be done by Christmas with the house and can get together after Christmas when things settle down for you.
