Cozy, but a little cursed, a satisfying meal for a cooler summer night. Split pea soup is easy to make and this one is no exception. I used Ina Garten's recipe and substituted/added ingredients that were more on the Halloween side. A store-bought rotisserie chicken provided the necessary bones that you would expect in a witch's stew. Our local market carries a nice German Westphalisches Pumpernickel, so the hearty bread will have a touch of toad pesto butter. For dessert, Chris & Shayne will get to taste test one of the desserts for this year's Halloween dinner. They have no idea that another Summerween dinner is being conjured up!
Silicone toad mold is available on Amazon. Melt one stick of unsalted butter with 2 Tbs. of good quality pesto. Pour into mold and let it freeze until completely frozen. Butter needs to be frozen to remove from mold. After removing from mold, keep in the refrigerator for several hours to soften prior to using.
