pressure cooker pea soup

Many years ago as in many families, my Mum and Dad had friends my sister and I called Uncle and Auntie. I just loved this one couple in particular as they would live outragously and just do things that my parents were to conservitive to do!.Uncle and Aunt were running the fish shop at the bottom of Queen Street in Auckland City and worked extremly hard and long hours. The off beat thing about this was they were renting a magnificent mansion opposite a prestegious boys school and many good memories I have of thathome.On this occasion There was there sons 21st birthdayheld at this palacious home and as a young child I can still see their daughter and myself sliding down the very grand bannister that was on the very wide curvacious staircase. We were standing on the landing watching and listening to the singing and fun and there was my Mother with the crystal drop off the very expensive chandaleir on the bridge of her nose balancing it while she sang something that was from a young Elvis Presley!!! I have no doubt someone would have had to stand on a chair to be able to retrieve this beautiful object for my mother to use in such a fashion. Thanks Mum for that memory and for the wonderful pea soup receipe. PRESSURE COOKER PEA SOUP.
