Sort of a Foodie Day

 No visit to Marie's would be complete without a trip to the Jolly Cow.

What is the Jolly Cow, you ask? An ice cream place, of course. I generously offered the cow a lick, but she declined.

We spent the morning with each of us doing computer tasks. I got the final approval for the draft of How to Hike the North Country Trail, and I ordered 100 copies. I'll have it at the Celebration!

Then we needed to get groceries if anyone was going to eat for the upcoming days, and there were other errands too. Then Marie had a meeting, so I cooked dinner. We tried a new recipe that I had brought with me. She's eating more normally now, but when she wasn't feeling well a couple of weeks ago this looked like something she could have. It's Zucchini-Corn Chowder. It's really good. I forgot to take a picture when the pan was full. We might tweak it a tiny bit the next time, but we both agree it's something we'd make again.


And we also had fresh salad with homemade herb dressing.

We have some adventures planned, but it was rainy today, so it was a good day to get some of these tasks done. We did find time for a couple of games.

See Chillin?

After reading about your corn zucchini chowder I looked up a recipe and tried it myself. Looks like it's not the same as yours as I see carrots in yours. Mine has potatoes, corn, zucchini, onion, garlic, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Also a few bacon bits and cayenne pepper. It is yummy. Thanks for the idea.

Lorana! how cool. This one only has milk (fewer calories), and I think it could stand more onions and a little sausage or something, but it's a keeper.
