This is what we ate for lunch today. I found a recipe for Corn Chowder on the web and changed it to my liking. All the bowls were empty and kisses were given all around. I'll definitely make this again.
Julie's Corn Chowda (You have to say it like a New Englander.)
1/2 pound bacon diced (I use lower sodium)
2 small onions finely chopped
1/2 butter or margarine
1/2 cup flour
4 cups potatoes peeled, boiled and cubed (I use Yukon Gold)
2 cups reserved potato water
4 cups milk (I use 1/2%)
1 lb. frozen corn
salt
Boil Potatoes for 15-20 minutes. While potatoes are boiling cook bacon in a large stock pot until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and drain. Cook onion in bacon grease and butter until translucent. Add flour and mix well. It will be pasty. Gradually add milk stirring continually. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes or until thick. Add potato water and corn. Heat through. Add potatoes. Season with salt according to your taste. I use about 1 1/2 teaspoons. Garnish with bacon.
Now I must go and clean those pots!

Sounds good.
It was! When you and Cheryl get back from your trip come over for a bowl! It would be great on a chilly night.
