If chowder for you means a thick, milky soup containing bacon and potatoes, then corn chowder fits the definition. While my late DH loved clam chowder more than anything else, he loved corn chowder, too. 6 strips thick-cut...

Grammasherri When I was a child, it was sledding. Boy, was that fun! I went to the same park this past summer (35 yrs later OMG) and the hill is no taller than I am now. Why do things look so much larger as a child? I, also loved making snowmen and snow angels.
