Kentucky Hot Brown

I LOVE 💗this sandwich.  I've even had it in Kentucky but not where it originated at the Brown hotel in 1926.  I also had it at one of Chef Bobby Flay's restaurants in NYC, which is now closed.  It was soooo good.  Comfort hangover food is how I'd describe it.  I don't have a picture of Bobby Flay's but I do have two.  The first one below is at a winery in Ohio.  We sat overlooking the Ohio river which is in Kentucky.

French Canadian Split Pea Soup

For some reason, this soup reminds me of being a very young child.  I must have ate it back then but I don't remember any details.  I don't even remember it in a favorable way.  I don't think it was at home.  Maybe church or something?  Maybe someone fed me Habitant soup from a can?  I always make green split pea soup but today, this popped into my head and  I went out to buy the yellow peas.
