Cis...I saw those muffins and thought...HMMM? Soon! Which chowder are you doing? When I did a search, I got two...
the one where the blogger used a recipe from a book that I think JEAN (and me) might be interested in...."Anya Von Bremzen's "The Greatest Dishes: Around the World in 80 Recipes" is perfect for anyone who wonders what makes a ratatouille a ratatouille vs. a caponata, a relish, a chutney, or anything else.
Every recipe comes with a narrative detailing the author's quest to figure out the dish's "life story." The narratives include history, lore, and a description of the characters Von Bremzen encounters as she searches for authentic recipes for some of the world's favorite dishes."
And another..."New England Fish Chowder adapted from a recipe by Margaret Woodworth D’Arcy of The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of New Hampshire"
I specifically brought this up for three reasons:
-I would love to know which one...if it's good! It's almost that time of year when fish prices go down at the docks in Southport.
-I thought JEAN might be interested in that cookbook.
-I wanted to comment(and brag) on the second recipe's origin. My mother has gotten into genealogy since she started (and finished) working on her Daughters of the American Revolution application. One of the "higher ups" encouraged her to dig further so she could be admitted to the National Society of The Colonial Dames of America. (She's almost finished!) I won't comment on the amount of research and documents she has printed out. Her house is getting taken over by CDs and PAPER! Luckily, she is remodeling her kitchen and putting in hardwood floors. Her house is beginning to look like some of those "hoarders"(sp?) on those shows!
