We have a tiny bit of fall in the air today, so I'm getting ready to put a big pot of split pea soup on. It'll have a bunch of nice big ham shanks, onions and bay leaves. It won't be long before the house smells wonderful.
I have dough proofing for a pair of baguettes we'll have with the soup and, after the bread has baked, the German Chocolate-Pecan Pie Bars will go in the oven. Those will complete our meal. Iced tea is the beverage of choice to wash it all down.
Thank you for the bar cookie link, Katie. I wouldn't be surprised to see these show up at my house in time for Christmas.
My step-niece is getting married today in the Outer Banks. We'll head that direction in a few and have dinner there at the reception so I haven't a clue! But we'll be in the Outer Banks so it will be good! One of my favorite places to be!
