The weather forecast is predicting sunshine for the next
four days! Woo-hoo! We had busy plans for the day – get the
motorcycle out, clean the Irv a bit, make a dish for a friend’s potluck
house-warming party/bonfire tonight and get out for a walk to enjoy the
sunshine.
I made smoked salmon chowder for the potluck (recipe here),
and it was a smashing success. Of course
it was – there was 6 CUPS of heavy cream in it.
That’s grossly decadent. I will
definitely make it again, but will start to replace out some of the heavy cream
with milk/whole milk/half-and-half and see if I can get a recipe I still like
but can justify making. Two changes I did make to the recipe was to add 3 T of tomato paste (I wanted it to be the color of salmon) and swap the white wine for chicken stock. If we ever move
out of Alaska I’m going to be devastated by the last of great smoked salmon and
fresh fish. It’s so easy to find good
stuff here (though it’s not cheap!).
