So the other night my ol’ lady made delicious corn chowder. It’s definitely one of our favorite winter meals. This time, she decided—on a whim—to add chopped up peppers (green, red, yellow), after reading up on such practices in days of yore. Well, it was really good. We went buck wild eating it up! Here’s the recipe, as I know it:

  1. Chop up an onion, and some red and green and yellow peppers (one of each of these)
  2. Sautee that shit up in a pan
  3. Throw some bacon into your soup pot and get things started
  4. Chop up some potatoes, and throw them in that pot
  5. Put various corns into the pot (1pkg frozen, 1 can creamed)
  6. Milk goes in there too, I think?
  7. Throw the stuff from step 1 in that pot
  8. ???
  9. Eating time!

This is actually pretty close to the recipe that A-anne uses in her Mind, since she doesn’t go in for all that measurement stuff. It works out pretty nicely, if you have the knack for it that she does. I tried to cook up some rice a few weeks ago, and while I didn’t ruin it (for once), it was still very stressful and I needed guidance. What I really need is a rice cooker, or to not have mega rice cravings, but we’re getting off topic.

Anyway, that’s it.
