Pepper Pot

...and an upcoming zoom talk on May 18. Just got an email from CHAA about the pepper pot talk, and wanted to get the word out. Several years ago I did a post on various pepper pot recipes and six different images of pepper pot vendors HERE. Being raised in eastern PA, I have enjoyed many bowls of the soup. Enjoy the talk!
