This is me trying to be somewhat festive. I made this for a St. Patrick’s Day celebration at work. It’s one of my favorites but is always a risk with other people. Maybe because the color is puke green. It tastes good I promise. Here is the recipe for Split Pea Soup.
Today is also my parents’ anniversary. They are visiting today and we made them a Italian Cream Cake, officially the most labor intensive cake that I’ve ever made. I haven’t experimented much with cakes but I definitely have a lot to learn! We got the recipe off my friend Nicole’s blog, Gateau Fille. She has some great tips on making beautiful cakes. I will share the recipe and photo soon. For now I’ll leave you with an endearing photo of my very sweet and extremely hilarious parents:

Can I have some soup and cake? Hope y’all are having fun!
congratulations Jim and Marilu. We were there with you 30 (?) years ago to celebrate it with you and we are still with you today!!!
Much love, Diane and JOhn
