well i made a batch of clam chowder tonight and i thought i would share it with my (fishing friends lol) as my fiance calls you guys. rac stay away from this stuff!

For a big batch,

1 large onion
5 celery stalks
6 carrots, all diced
pound of bacon
12 onces cream cheeze
3 pounds of clams from the can at costco
cream and half and half or milk
spuds
alittle bit of flour
salt pepper
what ever dried herbs you have on hand
bay leaf


cook down the bacon till crispy, take out of pan and set to the side. start to cook up the veggies in the bacon fat. adding herbs. when tender add some flour cook for a few more mins. so the flour is not raw. put in some clam juice from the can and reduce. do all this while your spuds are boiling. when spuds are done drain and give them a few mashes. put every thing in a huge pot and simmer.

sounds GOOOODD!!!! When we lived on whidbey Island we had to fight off the Racoons one night to be able to keep enough for chowder, i believe there was a family of 7. we had a good laugh watching them though.
