Ham, Potato and Corn Chowder, Chicken Breast Duo and Honeycomb

[a_boleyn]

It's fall time again and with the nip in the air, and my kitchen, I'm planning more substantial cooking projects that will warm me up.

Like this ham, potato and corn chowder I found on someone's blog. The ingredients are similar to a previous soup I've posted, other than using a roux to thicken it up to the consistency of a chowder. You can add

I've never honeycombed anything; that looks worth trying! And, as usually, you've made me hungry at a time when I have no right to be. :P

Thank you for the compliment.

Speaking of honeycomb .. I'm a bit of an anglophile and ran across the name 'honeycomb' in a book I read. Always wanted to make or try it.

Just ended up pitching a test batch of brown sugar/molasses instead of white sugar/corn syrup. Burned the sugar. Oh well, it's only sugar. :)

I have no business trying the honeycomb, but I'm going to, anyway.

Regency romances, especially Chesney's, are full of recipes I'd like to at least see. The number of courses those people used to eat is staggering.

(I'm off to walk Albus, but I'll be back.) :D

I don't remember reading anything by Chesney. Do you recall any dishes in particular?

My last Xmas dinner was British themed especially the mincemeat tarts. Though I cheated and bought the mincemeat. Some things I don't bother making from scratch. :)

Oh, I've made that chowder and it's wonderful.

We tend to do macadamia nut brittle around Christmas time. People like it as a change. This looks very light and airy.

The chicken tawook looks yummy and pretty straight forward. I might just try this the next time I'm looking for a chicken dish.

Thanks as always for making me hungry for breakfast! :D

I've made other chowders in the past and they're always tasty. I added my home dried thyme to it and boy was it good.

Brittle is a nice treat every once in a while.

As to the chicken, I was debating on using one of the many jars of sauce from my fridge ... mole, black bean, vindaloo, satay, and ended up with pesto and the middle eastern skewers. You can wrap up the chicken tawook in wraps with tzatzki etc. Or serve it with seasoned potatoes.

Always happy to get your juices going. :)

Chowders are always great, but especially so in the fall and winter. I made clam chowder this week. I can't eat it, but TBG seemed to enjoy it.

I have no idea what to make for dinner tonight, so I might have to go wander through some of your old posts.

I'm making pan fried pork chops, mashed potatoes, swiss chard sauteed in olive oil and butter with garlic (powder) and red pepper flakes. A squeeze of lemon or (rice or ed wine) vinegar. Romaine lettuce with some kind of dressing.

Everything looks delish but my fav is the Kale Pesto!

[a_boleyn]

It was tasty. Next year, I'll have to make more and freeze it away in portions.

Thank you.
