King Kon 2018

[GNTLGNT]

Neesy, first you cross the rainbow, then you hang a right.
Find the stars and journey towards the second one all night...
When you reach the border between Granite State and Bay
Look along the side where baseball's Boston Red Sox play.

I know I said Bangor is just up the road from me...
Should have added I was speaking metaphoric'ly
We're about 4 hours south and so, compared to some,
We're much closer than a lot of those who plan to come.


I am also looking forward to our meeting Scott
And I only rhyme when sober... Thus, I drink - a lot.
Since you've volunteered to head this monumental task
If I can do anything to help, you've but to ask.

....let me know when you're tipsy-then I'll give you errands to run.....

....and I'm with Sunny-never been a fan of much seafood....like crab cakes, deep fried clams, shrimp and fried fish-but that about does it for this pizza muncher....

Salmon is it for me. Period. Don't like shrimp, clams, lahbstah, or white fish.

I like beef and chicken.....and some veggies.

Grandma and I like chowder, period. When we were in Ireland for our 25th (and tomorrow is our 43rd), we had a seafood chowder that just put everything else down in the ranks.

So give us chowder with tomato, or not, with potato, or not. We'll like it.

How can someone with such a discerning taste in scotch have such low standards in clam chowder? There is no compromise in the chowder war, no middle ground, no 'can’t we just all get along.' The chowder war is not some light fare... It’s Allies versus Axis, Ali versus Frazier, Heaven versus Hell (Purgatory is never the goal). Vehemence and genuine indignation are the instruments of war. Take no prisoners!

Clam chowder needs tomatoes for flavor. The merging of the colorful section of the garden and the sea is pure ambrosia.

Nuff said!

GIVE ME MANHATTAN OR GIVE ME DEATH!

 

[misery chastain loves co.]

Manhattan clam "chowder" shouldn't even be a THING! It looks like something Regan would have hacked up in the Exorcist.
This one's for you darling Dio...

Don't you get tired of being wrong? What you've described is clam soup, not chowder.

Ahhhh... Regan would hacked up something green. Good clam chowder is red. So much for your powers of observation and reasoning, my dear.

Tsk, tsk, I said it LOOKS like some thing she WOULD have hacked up. I didn't say she DID hack it up
I forget I need to spell these things out in cave drawings....

Definition of chowder
A soup or stew of seafood (such as clams or fish) usually made with milk or tomatoes, salt pork, onions, and other vegetables (such as potatoes)

I guess Mr. Webster is wrong, also. Eh?

 

[not_nadine]

Shrimp Bisque. Spoon standing up Shrimp bisque in Maryland.

Bushel of crabs with vinegar and a table full of newspapers, If someone will crack them for me, so I don't see the eyeballs.

As long as you serve the cave drawings up with a bowl of Manhattan Clam Chowder, all is good.

Absolutely! I suspect Mr. Webster was no cook or he would have known that chowder has milk or cream otherwise it's just soup. Your recipe had only the tomatoes so bzzzzzz....wrong, not chowder.

LOL. Could you go back and edit mine like you did yours?

I can solve this chowder business for all of you. Seems to me, it's mostly a thin flour paste filled with foul sea creatures. I'm thinking that DiO must add the tomatoes to mask the horrible taste, but I'm seriously doubtful that works.

The only acceptable chowder is chicken corn chowder.....and even that tastes a little pasty.

5000 miles! Yikes - you must really love driving

When there is time, I like the long drives, too. You don't get to see as much when you just fly from point A to point B. When I was 16, during the summer vacation from school, my mom, grandma, sister and I went on a long driving trip from South Florida to California to Vancouver and back (plus all the places in between). I think we were on the road for close to 2 months. Looking back, it was a great trip. During the trip, being cooped up for 2 months with everyone did get a little stressful at times. Driving all the way across Texas and Montana takes a long time.
