What’s Cookin’ in Canadian: Parker's Split Pea Soup

Body
This base recipe is courtesy of Ina Garten, as found on the Food Network website. I liked that it had potatoes and carrots in it and that half of the peas are added in the last 40 minutes of cooking time so that they are tender but not mushy. I embellished this soup by adding two cooked strips of bacon and about a cup of kale that I had sautéed in garlic the night before, both chopped. That is the wonderful thing about soups—add what is on hand and make them even better. Enjoy!

The Postscript: Patron of the Arts

Body
MY LANDLORD, JORGE, is a patron of the arts. When I imagine a patron of the arts, I imagine some fabulously wealthy person in the past, supporting the creation of art in Italy or New York— someone with an impossibly luxurious lifestyle, maybe with a couple of designer dogs on diamond leashes standing at attention nearby.
