And the Manhattan has you frying bacon as the first ingredient. Having said that, I bet it would be fine. And the big can of clams has lots of clam juice. I would use clam juice over fish stock, because clams don't taste fishy... they taste seafood-y. But that's just my bossy Ruthy opinion...Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-29727550580774584422012-03-22T20:00:17.440-04:002012-03-22T20:00:17.440-04:00YES!!!!

That's "THEIR" swing because the front porch is too close to our country road and they're not allowed out there. Now they can swing with me on the side porch. And Missy. And the dog.

And because the leader dog behaved, the rest learned to. Isn't that weird? That they have that pack mentality and the alpha dog rules?<br /><br />So now the kittens hop into the laundry room with the dogs. And no one dies. ;)Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-21595754599586940902012-03-22T19:55:59.242-04:002012-03-22T19:55:59.242-04:00I know, Kav!!!!

Have you ever tried it with fish stock rather than the chicken?<br />My supermarket sells both so I wondered if the fish would increase the seafoody flavor or it. Hmmm - or clam juice.Mary Curryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173540875518117671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-64081740355204556342012-03-22T12:10:45.306-04:002012-03-22T12:10:45.306-04:00LOL, how cute!

I'm w...Thank you for a recipe for REAL chowder! I'm with you on the normal restaurant/canned chowder. It's like eating wallpaper paste compared to what chowder should really be.<br /><br />The cat we had for 17 years ruled the house. She was a small cat, declawed, elderly...and the dogs listened to every word she said (and we have big dogs). She'd play with the dog - but only on her terms. When she decided it was time to stop, the dog would just lay down and mope. And whenever we got a new puppy she'd have him (or her) trained in a matter of days.<br /><br />Then after KC died we got this new kitten, Maggie-cat. Maggie is a demon cat who thinks she's a dog, even to the point of "barking" at squirrels and other dogs going by. She sleeps like a dog, eats like a dog, plays like a dog. She has the dogs completely confused.Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-42145963960047469602012-03-22T08:13:36.563-04:002012-03-22T08:13:36.563-04:00I'm with Kav on this one, Ruthy!

So thanks for sharing!<br /><br />LOL, Kav! My dogs think our cat is something to chase and terrorize. They never have gotten along.<br /><br />Glad you're enjoying the corn/cheese chowder!! Anything with lots of cheese in it is good. :)Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-28945482206408637212012-03-22T07:55:11.419-04:002012-03-22T07:55:11.419-04:00I forgive you, Ruthy, since you posted that yummy ...I forgive you, Ruthy, since you posted that yummy picture of the kitty. I want him!!!!!!! I wonder what Simba would think if I came home with a kitten one day? Would he think ahhhh, a little friend for me or Yum, kitten chowder for dinner tonight!<br /><br />Guess what I made at the beginning of the week and am still eating? Corn/Cheese Chowder. I LOVE that stuff! So satisfying. I'm drooling just thinking about the left overs tonight. And who knew there were so many variations of chowder out there in the world?!Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.com
