Clam chowder

Since it is Lent and it is Friday, this means that Chuck cannot eat meat, which means that I have to become creative in my cooking. I enjoy being creative with my cooking, but I have very little experience with cooking seafood. I have been thinking about trying my hand at clam chowder for a couple of weeks now and tonight's the night.

I have searched the net for quick clam chowder recipes and have found several that I think I can work with and create my own recipe, which I like to do. I have all of the ingredients at home so there is nothing stopping me. I just hope that Chuck likes it. There have been very, very few things that I have made that Chuck has not liked, but I still worry that "tonight will be the night" that he HATES!!!!!! what I have made, and will take what is on his plate, throw it away and pour himself a bowl of cereal for dinner.

On a completely different note, at Amelia's check-up Dr. B said that we can start her on solids, just a tablespoon or two of cereal twice a day. We can add applesauce or bananas to it after a couple of days or so, and see how she likes it. So we will be taking our first steps into real food (as close as you can get with rice cereal and applesause) tomorrow night. I cannot wait to see her face as she gets to try something new, and since she loves to eat (drink) as it is right now, I am sure that she will love the cereal too.

Well, that is all I've got for now. I will try my hand at posting picture this weekend if I get the chance. It may have to wait until later in the week, we will just have to wait and see.

Have a great weekend. It is suppose to be warm (at least tomorrow).
