Something new for supper

[Forty Rod SASS 3935]

A can of Progresso New England style clam chowder (I prefer Ivars Puget Sound, but they are a small outfit and it's hard to find it much of the time.

 

Pour in a pot.

 

Add a half dozed medium sized cooked shrimp with the tails and veins removed, chopped into quarter inch bits.

 

Take two jumbo scallops cut to the same sized and precooked in butter.

 

Two slices of bacon cut up and cooked until firm but not crispy an about a tablespoon of the grease, more if you like it, are added.

 

I finally finished it off with Real Brand Salt from Utah, Tabasco Sauce from Avery Island down in Louisiana, and about a half teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.

 

Stir it thoroughly and continuously over medium heat until it bubbles for about three minutes.

 

I washed it down with a bottle of Sioux City sarsaparilla at room temperature (my personal choice.)

 

That's one of the best meals I've made in a along time and makes me enough for two meals.

 

There 'tis, Blackwater.  Give it a try.  The rest of you have my permission to try it, too, and you're welcome. 

 

I'm always open to other variations and new recipes,

We discussed this on the phone, night before last, and I figured that you’d try it before the week was out!!

 

I’ll pick up the makin’s next week when we go to town!! I got’s me a place where I can get fresh scallops and shrimp!!

[Subdeacon Joe]

That sounds GOOD!  I'll have to save it and give it a try, or as close as I can get.  I will give the "Arizona Room Temperature" beverage though.  I like my beverage with a meal to not be as hot as a cup of coffee.  

Did you have biscuits with it?

[Pat Riot]

That sounds great. Oh how I miss seafood. 

 

Gout. Nuff said.

Yeah!! For that matter, you can get anything in Nashville that you can get in New York City or Los Angeles!

 

I have an acquaintance who owns the local fish market…

I am SOOO jealous.  One of the very few things I miss about California is the fresh  sea food.

 

Some of the others are my friends that I'm unlikely to ever see again, some amazingly great restaurants (many that were mostly unknown to anyone but locals and people like me and the Grumpy Lunch Bunch), the Grumpy Lunch Bunch,  a few museums, and some little "back alley" shops that had some really great stuff...but I doubt that most them are still in business.

 

Oh, well, I'll just sit here and moon over your fresh fish. Let me know how it turns out.

Try adding some chopped fire roasted anahiem green chilies.

Don't you dare! 

 

Save those chilis for one of several hundred recipes that don't involve seafood....like almost any kind of Mexican dishes, hamburgers, breakfast scrambles, some Italian foods, Cajun stuff, even a few recipes for steak.
