From this point on, this entry will read as a conversation between two friends whilst making dinner.
Mary Mudskipper: Hey CicadaLacewing, what would you like for dinner tonight
CicadaLacewing: I was thinking something with fish.
M M: Thats what she said...okay fish it is.
...a few hours later...
C L: Let's just go shopping and see what strikes our fancy.
M M: A fine plan. Shopping it is.
...a fine fall day falls upon us, calling for soup of course...
M M: How about fish chowder!!
C L: Sounds delish!!!!
M M: Okay we need some kind of white fish or scallops, corn, clam juice, sherry, shallots, garlic, onions, potatoes, and parsley. Off to thee market.
...a long walk with a heavily laden grocery cart and an epileptic haunted house later...
C L: Tonight might call for an N'Sync Pandora station-your thoughts?
M M: Throwback tunes and a bottle of wine = happiness.
...N'sync "god must have spent a little more time on you" cues up as we open Imagine Moore's Gratitude (props to Al). We are grateful for the company and jamz...
Simmer Shallots, garlic, and 1 large onion in olive oil (or butter or bacon drippings-highly recommended). Once translucent, add healthy splash of Sherry. Allow to return to heat. Add spices-Salt, Pepper, Fresh Parsley, Bay Leaves. Add 8 Oz. Clam Juice and Large can of Chicken Broth, bring to a boil.
...in the meantime, Christina Aguilara "What a girl wants", Backstreet Boys "I want it that way", Britney Spears "Sometimes"...
Add 5 small cubed potatoes (I used Yukon Gold) Allow to return to boil.
...Rock out to Dream "He loves Me not", Usher "Yeah", and another glass of wine...
Once Potatoes are softened (about 20 mins), add fish (flounder in this case) and 1 can corn. Return to heat. At this point, add the cream to make a chowder. Usually people use heavy cream. We forgot to put it on our shopping list and will be using sour cream and milk and butter instead. You do what you have to do when wine is the number one thing on your mind.
...Mandy Moore "Candy", 98 Degrees "because of you"...
C L: (in reference to "because of you") I don't know this song-what the hell is this?
M M: It's 98 Degrees "because of you"
C L: Oh no wonder i hate it, no talent ass clowns.
M M: You sound like your dad.
C L, M M, and N'Sync: Hey Heyyyyy, Bye Bye Bye
Yum, dinner time
PS: Mary Mudskipper (Megan) and CicadaLacewing (Lilly) encourage you to watch Green Porno and choose your own green porno name (as we have done) at http://www.sundancechannel.com/greenporno/
PPS: Dan was not involved in the making of this post but his green porno name which he prefers to be called by from this point on is Atlas Parnassian.
PPSS: dont judge us, worship the great music of our past
PPPSS: J T: I'm bringing Sexy Back
BEST POST EVER!!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I was there with you ladies!! And no judgement passed as I spent the whole day selling grape pies and listening to a mix Cd including Bring in da Noise by NSYNC. It also included some oOOOO child which a man insisted on singing to me at the pie shop. also i agree that 98 are "no talent ass clowns" and my green porno name is Brassy chub... not appropriate.. and neither is the amount of missage I have for you all!!
BEST COMMENT EVER. oOOO Child Brassy chub. MUCH LOVE. From MM and CL.
ReplyDeletedude, mine is brassy chub too@#*(#$. I like it. you can have my other name (when I type in hannah damico). that one is Carolina Sphinx.
ReplyDeleteas an aside, you'll never get any judgement from me about n sync. I love n sync. I recall once having a beastly dance party to n sync, mase, and all saints. the n sync is always so necessary.
also miss mary mudskipper, that sounds a-maz-ing. I need to try out some chowders/soups soon. SOON.
god i love you all.
ReplyDeletedude i totally want Carolina Sphinx, charming yet sexy. im seriously thinking about some chowder soon as this cold weather sets in! wish there was more time to cook! soon enough young grasshopper.
ReplyDeleteSoo I tested this recipe and what can I say but DELLLIIISSH!!!
ReplyDeleteI made a few additions which I believe were beneficial to the outcome:
-A few strips of bacon while simmering onions and garlic.
-A can of chopped clams for more of a seafood chowder.
-Etta James/Sharon Jones Pandora Radio station
