Mmmm. And that wine is mighty tasty. And cheap. Both of these features of it make me happy. :)

I find it telling that your heading for the picture mentions the chicken and the beans, but not the towering glass of red wine…

Not that I’m one to talk, but even so…

Pshaw. Tell that man that if he’s not happy with the dinner you cook he can damned well make his own. (And beans are most certainly not veggies. If they were, I’d have a whole heck of a lot more veggies in my diet than I do!) I’m ‘thinking that serving this alongside some grilled veggies – asparagus in particular – would be delicious.

I’ve not yet tried your clam chowder. I will definitely try it at some point this fall/winter. I’m trying to perfect a chowder recipe myself – one with grilled poblanos and spicy Portuguese sausage. Once all of the wrinkles have been ironed out, I’ll post that recipe. (And S. will be happy – it has meat, potatoes, and peppers.)

Ooooh, that does look good. I’d probably have to serve it with mashed potatoes to keep S. happy (seeing as he doesn’t regard a meal without a definite starch as a complete meal at all, and beans don’t count as “starch” as far as he’s concerned, they’re “veggies”).

Since you’ve said you’re appreciating seafood more these days, have you tried my clam chowder recipe yet????? You should! It starts with “crisp some bacon”!!!! and ends with “add cream or half & half”. *grin*

Love ya!

Michelle—Thank you for [a] making my recipe, [b] doing such a lovely job of it and [c] giving it such rave reviews. And you’re absolutely right: Any dish that begins with frying bacon is already off to a great start.
