I haven't made it in years. Susan, is a 5-hour simmer right? Seems like I remember the soup cooking in about an hour, but like I said ... it's been a few years.<BR/><BR/>Carol, do the hotdogs add much flavor? I don't eat 'em, but Mike has a couple pkgs. that have been in the freezer for a long time. Be a great way to get rid of them!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09331433586619898590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559496255453564057.post-58296519278061326292009-02-07T14:26:00.000-06:002009-02-07T14:26:00.000-06:00Love this post, Susan!

I was thinking when I first read, he looks like a rocker from the 60's in his self portrait :)<BR/><BR/>Enjoyed reading about Lievens, and the pictures, really interesting about Rembrandt's mother and yes, that painting at 14. Unbelievable!<BR/><BR/>Soup looks great! When I made split pea, I used to add hot dogs instead of ham, growing up my grandma kept kosher, so we used short rib and hot dogs to flavor the soup. Now I use ham, will have to try your recipe with knockwurst. It looks so good!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649792739059060169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559496255453564057.post-12620253797018939222009-02-07T09:37:00.000-06:002009-02-07T09:37:00.000-06:00Thank you, Marsha.

(However, after reading your post, I searched our museum's catalog and we have 1 pen and ink drawing by Lievens titled "Pilgrims at Rest".<BR/><BR/>I really like most Rembrandts and the Dutch Masters style. Sounds like an informative and wonderful time.<BR/><BR/>One of the reasons that John and I keep our museum membership is to attend the exhibit previews, special viewings, and other members only events. I've never been to one that I didn't thoroughly enjoy.<BR/><BR/>I have a friend who became a docent at our museum after retiring. The training was extensive and intensive, several months of training sessions and outside studies. She loves it.<BR/><BR/>Monique, how wonderful that you have paintings of your mother. You have such an artistic touch and style. You must have come by it naturally.<BR/><BR/>Susan, your split pea soup looks tasty, although, I have to admit that I have never developed a taste for it.
