Mrs Punkin is making something I haven't had for a long time. Some sort of home made corn chowder with potatoes and BACON and celery and corn and onions and butter and milk and.... Did I mention bacon? :drool:

That sounds delicious. I love corn chowder.

Morning snow was a bust. Not even enough to get the snow blower out. :lol:

That's a GOOD thing, right?

Sorry for not asking Stretch, I just assumed it was very similar to what Mr. V said while wrestling the range hood. :lol:

No bacon with the fish, so it was super boring. I'll give it a bacon blanket next time. Tonight is taco salad.

Punkin, I have to filibuster cold over here. Last night was -25 with wind chills.
Brrrrrrr and no bacon...

Holy carp! -25 means us guys can't even go outside to take a leak, just saying... :facepalm:

OK Mrs Punkin gave me a scribbled piece of paper with a receipt for the corn chowder:

3/4 lb. BACON - cut into small pieces
5 stalks of celery - chopped
1 sweet onion - chopped
2 bags (14.4 oz) of frozen corn
1 lb. of small potatoes
1/2 gal milk
1/8 stick of real butter

Brown and cook BACON, celery, and onions.
Remove celery and onions and finish browning BACON. Set aside.
Cook (boil) frozen corn and drain. Set aside.
Cook (boil) potatoes. Set aside.

Dice potatoes and add to big pot with all the other ingredients that were set aside earlier.
Add milk, butter, and pepper to taste and simmer until hot and ready to serve.

P.S. (Punkin's Script) At your discretion: Add more BACON, more butter, more potatoes, more corn, less milk, and take it easy on the celery! :lol:
I,m making this on Saturday...Right before my Cardiologist appointment on Monday. I will definitely be adding the whole pound of bacon.How wonderful is this?

It's true..They're closed.I feel so alone.OMG. Why give up the ghost so soon? There will be a whole new team at the FDA soon if they're not there already.
It feels like a death in the family. :cry: I ran over to provarifuel and grabbed a cabernet radius while I could. *sobs*

Morning on this cold 22 degree day turning into 55 degree tomorrow. Tonight there will be an eclipse on a full moon with comets. Possibly End Times? Wouldn't be surprised.
There's a guy at work who's convinced we're getting all these signs of the end times. Sometimes he worries me. :unsure:
