Clam Chowder! Yum!

Elizabeth and Josh were here when we got home. Elizabeth had just started sauteeing the aromatics for the clam chowder. Josh was just finishing up dicing the potatoes and they had the water simmering to put the potatoes into.

I finished the roux with the aromatics while the potatoes were simmering. Then, when they were tender, we put them into the roux, water and all, poured in the milk and the undrained clams, and simmered that together till it got creamy and bubbly.

We served the chowder with shredded cheese to put in it. It was VERY tasty and really hit the spot on this damp, chilly evening.

Brandon doesn't like any kind of chowder so he begged off eating this tonight. He later got some other leftovers out of the fridge and ate, though, so it's not like he missed a meal..lol
