A New Blog for Food!

I love searching out and trying recipes from the internet. Sometimes I make some changes to it, and then I need to remember what I did differently. For the last couple year, I've been keeping my recipes on notecards stuck to the fridge. However, I'd like to have a copy of my recipes that won't be in danger of having water or food spilled all over it.  My other blog, Birds and Food, is a mixture of photographs and recipes that have nothing to do with each other. The writing style is a bit silly, and I may well rewrite some of them for this blog. I suppose I should probably take some pictures of the food I make too. The name comes from my internet name, Oatmealmonkey. I usually go by Oat when I'm online, and these are the things I like to eat.

Clam Chowder

I have this recipe memorized, but one day when I'm old and forgetful and lose my recipe book, it will be handy to have it here too. I used to use bacon, but now I use ham because it's cheaper. If you use bacon, cook it in the pot first thing and keep the grease to saute the onions. Dice and saute one onion. Add several diced potatoes and the juice from two 5 oz cans of chopped clams. Add water until the potatoes are all submerged and cook. Meanwhile, melt 3/4 cup butter in a saucepan and stir in 3/4 cup flour to make a roux. When that's cooked, whisk in three cups of milk and one cup of heavy cream. This is the same as four cups of half and half. Stir until thickened. When the potatoes are tender, turn off the heat and add the thickened milk mixture, the clams from the two cans, and either four slices of cooked bacon or an equivalent amount of ham. Add salt until it tastes good.
