The kids and I took our new au pair to lunch even though she didn’t want to eat at all. We got chowder and it was pretty tasty.

It was thick enough and had a more than acceptable amount of very fresh and tasty clams.

ChowderBoy gave it a big thumbs up and then had a fit that we didn’t bring any for ChowderDad.

ChowderGirl started waxing poetic about chowders we have loved.
