Corn Chowder (long awaited)
I made this corn chowder twice the week of the great blizzard of 2011. It was so good, comforting and just yummy. With the weather warming up and the snow melting, I know I am a little late. I’ve been super busy–which is a good thing for Ste Martaen. I have a to-do list a mile long and I purposely didn’t take the 4 year old to pre-k today so that I could accomplish writing to you at the very least.
