Now that the holiday season is over and there’s no more indulging in home-made goodies and sweets, it’s time we got back to our healthy habits of before. However, even if that not be the case, it’s never too late to turn over a new leaf – and Marco Pierre White’s pea and ham soup is as healthy as it is refreshing and tasty, therefore, just the thing we need to get things started.

What you need:

• 1 knuckle of smoked gammon (approximately 1.3kg)
• 2 sticks celery
• 2 large halved carrots
• 4 halved onions
• thyme
• 2 bay leaves
• 12 white peppercorns
• 1.2kg Bird’s Eye peas
• 40g unsalted butter
• salt (to taste).

Procedure:
Start by making a stock with the ham, the celery, onions, thyme, carrots, bay leaves and peppercorns. Put all of them in a large saucepan, top with water, add two pinches of salt, put the lid on it, and then let boil. Once the mixture has reached boiling point, lower the heat and let boil slowly for about 20 minutes. (more…)

I get so board this day. I am done watching television and have done other stuff. But, after a while my son offered me to use the net. It’s been a while since I put a hand in a computer. I felt very excited to surf the web again. The first thing I did is visit some of my blogger friend. One of them tackles about her wedding photos richmond virginia.

She moved to Virginia went she gets engaged with her fiancée. She even posted the date of her wedding. But, I was not able to follow her blog since I take a break from blogging. I am so happy to see that she is happy and I enjoy looking at several of her portraits richmond virginia.

Good thing they were able to get a good wedding photographer richmond virginia. The pictures turned out to be so good and with high quality. I think those photos will last for a long time so the couples can enjoy reminiscing even for fifty years.
