Hello to all my foodie friends out there in web land its MadJon again coming to you from the great state of South Carolina hope you are enjoying the cooler weather and with the cooler weather comes something that we have learned to call winter foods, comfort foods, what a name. Very Southern and meant to warm your belly along with your outside body. One thing that would also help keep you warm this winter is when you are outside remember to cover your head because that's where your heat goes out so I've been told. Any who we've been busy with a food show last Tuesday and selling products to buyers. Excited about that and also selling to a distributor in Japan, way to go me. While I've been sitting around here thinking I was thinking about life events and I've had a few of them. One is living in Dallas when the president was shot and our dad knew Jack Ruby and watching Jack Ruby shoot Oswald right there on live TV. My older sister was at the parade when Kennedy got shot, talk about a life event. We lived in Ca when the watts riots were going on and we could see the fire from the hill where we lived and the national guards coming out to make sure we had our lights out. My dad moving us from Ca. when he closed down his furniture manufacturing plant because the mafia was wanting some protection money. I was living in Houston and listened while B.J. Thomas recorded his first album, Rain Drops Keep Falling on my Head and I was waiting to use the recording studio after him there in Pasadena, Texas. I have so many life events that I could share but I'll share more later. Right now my life event is going from TV host to production host of my own food lines. Tomorrow I need to figure out how to ship my products to Japan, any who that's for tomorrow right now we are going to talk about Green Pea Soup. When I was little my mom used to make this soup whenever we had a left over Ham bone and it was yummy for our tummy's. It is a very healthy dish and easy to prepare not to mention that its a cheaper meal to serve your families. If you have high blood sugar you may be should hold off on eating it because green peas do have a high sugar content. The peas cost me about two dollars and the ham was 3.99 for the piece I bought. Any who let me know how you like this recipe by emailing me at madjon51@aol.com and come like my fan page on Face Book at Cooking With MadJon & Friends.
