Fall Corn Chowder

October 5, 2009

It is starting to feel like and look like Fall around here!
The mornings and evenings are quite cool and the leaves are looking a little yellow.
We had our first fire in our fireplace Saturday night....not because it was so cold, but because it was cold enough to justify it;) When the seasons change, I start thinking soup and bread.
I made this a couple of weeks ago and it is a keeper!
We added cornbread and a salad for the perfect Fall dinner!

that looks yum, but does it make you have to go to the potty?

This looks good. However, I have about given up cooking. I enjoy Pedaling and the big guy's cooking when I visit them. I love to read your blog and I like farmers. When a young city girl I always looked forward to visiting my Indiana country cousins for a week during summertime. I am grateful for farmers--what would most of us eat if we did not have you? I hope both of you have healed and your family is well.

Love, Grandma Lax

That looks really good! Unfortunately I will probably have to wait a little while for it to be cold enough for a fire.
