Day 36 and recipes 28 & 29 (Day 35 is lost in cyberspace)

Sorry, I did post day 35 last night with the recipe that I promised you, but it got lost somewhere. I'll have Josh find it tomorrow and republish it.

Tonight, I cooked Bill's Corn Chowder (pg 27). Unfortunatley, I was talking to Josh and cooking at the same time and I completely skipped a very important part of the recipe which said to puree 2 cups of the chowder and add back to the pot to give it a creamy consistency instead of the watery one that I achieved. So, I will give a report on this recipe after I remedy it tomorrow.

For dessert, I made Almond Banana Delight (pg 171). I added a few pecans on top and put in a little extra maple syrup. As my mother would say, I gilded the lily! May has always been very practical and thrifty, so any slight excess is "gilding the lily!"

Now, Lewella, always believed in gilding the lily. In fact, she believed lilies were made to be gilded. She always lavished everything with cream and butter. If a vegetable could be creamed she creamed it. If it could be buttered she buttered it (often to May's horror). But she lived to be a 101 so who is to say.......................
