DD> O.K. you made me go look. I had never heard of "hemp milk".
It happens to be my favorite non-dairy "milk" of the bunch to add to
black tea.
DD> I've some questions about this recipe though. As I made it in my

My sister made the recipe, so i could ask her if you wish.
DD> I could NOT find buttermilk in the ingredients listing.
I am pretty sure she adapted a recipe from a Better Homes & Gardens
cookbook and substituted hemp milk + vinegar for the buttermilk.

I agree. Moar yunz plz!
DD> What size cans? 14 oz? 28 oz? Or a #10 (96 oz)
14 oz cans of corn

The recipe called for 1 head of celery. Seems like a lot to me too,
but maybe it was a small head? Shall i ask?

Good idea to change the recipe from 1 tb liquid smoke, to "to taste."
Thanks for the chowder recipe!
Yesterday i made a yellow split pea soup in the crockpot. The split
peas did not get soupy like i expected them too. They are edible but
the texture is slightly chewy. I didn't add any salt while it was
cooking. My theory is that they were simply too old and dried out.
The bag did not have an expiration date printed on it.
