Pea & vegetable soup

Good morning, everyone..... It is morning in Israel you know....LOL



I came to know (that is virtually of course) William Anatooskin, aka Uncle Bill a while back around 2002 when I had an e-journal via yahoo. We co-op then and sure will continue .


BTW, the e-journal archive still exist should you want to look and find good recipes.
