The "I don't want to talk about AI" thread, and the new topic is: we seem to be back to cats

[Bamagan]

Seems like the new stories are a couple of hours behind normal posting schedule as I type this. I wonder if the Activity Feed change broke that, too, or if they're so busy trying to right that ship that they forgot to throw the normal switch.

I made clam chowder for work last night and I was reminded that I fucking loathe seafood. It reeks and I'm unhappy.

My clam chowder was one of the reasons why my.wife married me.

I'm going to dress as an AI Detector for Halloween, and when the kids come to my door for candy I'll give them a rejection notice telling them they're not real and send them on their way, gleefully calling "Trick!" as they leave.

No one can convince me Candy Corn is real and not some nightmare inflicted by BigCandyCorp.

 

[NuclearFairy]

Most of my household loves candy corn.

Recipe?

If I could make one that doesn't reek of clams, I would be happy. I make it traditional New England style.

Perhaps his reeking clam was the selling point... assuming he married another cat.

Time to change thread title to clam chowder, thoughts?.

On a side note, eye dilation absolutely sucks.

Plus side is my prescription hasn't really changed.

Mine is derived from my mum's version that she had growing up in the North of England. Steam some bottled clams in white wine and garlic. Fry up onions and bacon. Add potatoes and veggies. Then add vegetable stock and the clams, together with the juice from steaming them. Cook, add milk or cream. Preferably leave overnight before eating.

That's basically it, if I remember rightly. It's been a while since I made it.

And yet, it's one of the reasons why your wife married you? Are you now taking your relationship for granted? (HHOK and all that.)

You have a point... @StillStunned you should go make your wife some chowder!

 

[StillStunned]

Yes, I was thinking earlier that she really deserves some. It's the weather for it too.

Wtf are bottled clams??

I just got clams from the fish shop, lol. Did steam them in some white wine, butter, and garlic, though.

Onions and bacon, yes. Also celery, carrots, and potatoes. I used clam juice and chicken stock, a mix of cream and milk, some flour, thyme, parsley, bay leaf, hot sauce, and paprika (roasted half the potatoes with seasoning and added half to the soup to cook.)

In a jar, with vinegar and onions, rather than fresh in the shell. Where I grew up fresh seafood was pretty impossible to find. The effect is a slightly vinegary taste and smell, which overpowers anything too fishy.

I dunno if we have those. Will look for next time, though.

 

[StillStunned]

Mussels work too.

During my second pregnancy I craved clam chowder like crazy. But we couldn't trust any of the local seafood places and I did not want the house smelling like clam chowder so I just never asked for it.

 

[Five_Inch_Heels]

NE Yay!

Manhattan red slop ... eeewwww.....


Whatever that is up there seems to be some kind of a mix between.


NE is thick and creamy, sticks to the spoon and no onions. Never onions. Carrots? Celery?

It's clam chowder, not minestrone.

We all know it's your fault.

I'm incapable of making a soup without onions.

This is the recipe I used. The picture was from before I thickened it up by adding the flour slurry and roasted potatoes. The yellow hue is from a little paprika and butter, and the pan itself.

I was cooking in the dark as I usually do.

Maybeeeee

Hmm, I think I should refrain from participating in this thread until the topic changes…
