Today was supposed to be District Meeting here in Selfoss. Sister Bremner decided she would provide a simple lunch - hum simple? It started 3 days ago with soaking the yellow split peas for 24 hours, then boiling the salted lamb to separate from the bone and fat. After the 24 hours you add the peas to the lamb and cook for another 12 hours or so. She had earlier made Icelandic leaf bread that stores for weeks but that was not enough. She needed bran muffins and then instead of the simple brownies for dessert she decide to make two pies just before we were do to leave for Reykjavík for the evening. The berry pie was done just as we left. We got home last night at midnight and she then made the apple pie. This morning we got up to continue cooking the soup as it was still not quite ready. Then we got the call - illness struck and the meeting had to be canceled. Well the soup will do fine until Monday but the pies and muffins had to go in the freezer. Oh how I was looking forward to that delicious simple lunch especially the apple pie.
