Eats: Corn Chowder
A delicious alternative to its more famous seafood cousin from New England, Corn Chowder has its own life these days and hails from the best Southern Food tables.
There are lots of different ways to make corn chowder, with the constant ingredients being corn, potatoes, onions and a cream based soup.
The most typical corn chowder is a mix of fresh corn kernels, diced Yukon gold potatoes, Spanish onions, heavy cream, sea salt, black pepper, diced red pepper, smoked bacon bits and a few other mixed-ins.
A favorite corn chowder recipe can be found in, dare I say, a very New England cookbook - Morning Glory Farm: A Family that Feeds and Island, a wonderful book about the Morning Glory Farm on Martha’s Vineyard with unbelievable recipes.

Book Rec: Tunneling to the Center of the Earth: Stories
Kevin Wilson’s first book of short stories is a wonderful collection of Americana. Each of the stories carries a unique narrative that makes Wilson’s writing shine.
The stories take you through parents who spontaneously combust, a teenage girl’s awkward introduction to a new town and infatuation with an odd 12 year old boy, and a college graduate who can’t see what’s next so he decides to live below ground in his parent’s back yard.
Wilson’s stories can be odd, interesting, enlightening, disturbing, quirky and wonderful all at the same time. Don’t miss out on “Grand Stand-In” a amazing story about grandmas and kids for hire.
