Can't open the bar #450 - it's locked

Wom, thank goodness. To kill the time I was reading about whether you should allow your dog to pee on the neighbor's lawns. Glad you came just in time to get me away from that one.

Bagels - hot with fresh butter - and cream cheese coming right up.

Thanks for opening up!!

Bagels and cream cheese??? Count me in please.

I have a pot of corn chowder on the stove, freshly made this morning, if anyone would like some for lunch. Any nice fresh crusty bread around here to go with it???

I've often wondered what corn chowder is, so I finally looked it up. Seems there are quite a few different recipes on it. Which one is good? I might try it some day.

If you like seafood, then Seafood Chowder is the BEST....no kidding.

Thanks for the recipe, that sounds easy. Not sure I can get a can of cream style corn, though we do have a supermarket that sell American and British products. I usually buy frozen corn.

When I saw the pictures of corn chowder, it reminded of this:

I do like seafood, so I'll look into that, too. Gotta keep away from shrimps at the moment, though. My cholesterol no. is 7.3.

I edited the recipe a bit - you might want to check it out. I imagine you could "cream" your own frozen corn too - must be a recipe somewhere on how to do that. It's just so easy to open a can tho...........

Our corn chowder always had little bits of bacon in it, too!

I don't do anything fancy or time consuming - just pretty basic. What I post below will serve 2. You can always increase it.

2 or 3 boiled potatoes - peeled and diced. I leave mine more in chunk size - I like the bigger pieces.
1 can cream style corn - 14.75oz or 418g
milk
onion
ground black pepper

Brown a small chopped onion in butter. You can use dehydrated chopped onion in place of fresh - just rehydrate first.
Add in the corn and potatoes, and just enough milk to get a desired consistency - just however you like it. I prefer mine somewhat thick, so don't use much milk. Pepper to taste. Then just heat and eat.

This is a nice quick fix, yet homemade without a lot of fuss. You can extend it a little too by adding a can of drained whole kernel corn. Makes it a little "cornier"

Oh my Lord, that's sounds wonderful I have some frozen corn that I can use in place of the fresh corn. All I need is the creamed corn which I don't normally like but in this recipe... well let's just say I know what I'm having this weekend. Richard, that cornbread recipe is to die for. Thanks for posting that. Luv ya

Hey, this weekend is Thanksgiving weekend for us Canucks - anyone want some turkey and stuffing?? Pillows provided.

For now, please may I have a Gin and Tonic???

[RICHARD]

One G&T for the slickster and I'd love to have some turkey.

DONE!

Wom,

You shouldn't be so 'vocal' while people are sleeping....

[Pinot's Mom]

Hey y'all! Sorry I've not been communicating, but my on line time is limited due to VACATION!! We're in Manitou Springs right now. It's been amazing.

Could I please get some corn chowder, some jalapeno corn bread and my usual vodka & diet ginger? Thanks; appreciate it!

[wombat2u2004]

Corn Chowder ??? Awww yeah. Last time I had chowder was in a little place in DEL called "The Chowder Pot"....so count me in.
