Skipjack's Clam Chowder

I found a link to the Skipjack's Clam Chowder recipe: http://www.epicurious.com/run/recipe/view?id=104185

When I made it, it was a bit more like a stew than a soup (not much liquid). I haven't experimented to determine how best to make it soupier (more liquid). It's already delicious. There's just the slightest bit of spice to give it a gentle kick. Yum!

White Chocolate Raspberry Brownies

Submitted by Barb on Tue, 11/28/2000 - 23:45

I love the combination of raspberries and white chocolate! Here's my recipe for White Chocolate Raspberry Brownies. You can substitute almonds for the macadamia nuts or leave out the nuts entirely. Or for a festive touch, substitute shelled, unsalted natural (undyed!) pistachios.

Mini-Review: The Lazy Gourmet

Submitted by Roland on Mon, 11/27/2000 - 22:56

Barb and I finally broke down and gave in to our hamburger lust and went to the Lazy Gourmet for lunch on Sunday

David, one of our friends, has been recommending it highly and the burgers delivered. Filled with cheese, and seasoned with a BBQ sauce and topped with sweet roasted onions and spicy spinach, the burgers were delicious. They came with a pickle and a side order of thin cut fries that were accompannied by scrummy orange mayo.

We shared an order of herbed latkes which were like light hash browns.

East Side Culture Crawl

Submitted by Barb on Sat, 11/25/2000 - 19:00

Last night we participated in the East Side Culture Crawl. The Crawl is an annual event whereby artists open up their studios to the public for a grand weekend of gallery hopping and shopping.

How does this relate to VanEats? Several of the studios we visited had finger foods and beverages. Our favourite food spot was at Paneficio, where they served a variety of food and a tasty brie filled with tapanade...oh, and the art was great too!
