Quahogs

On Labor Day I went out to dig for quahogs. It's part of the "ocean/land to table series". I got my quahogs and made my chowder.

Steam the quahogs in water, then remove quahogs and reserve the broth.
In a medium size pan, saute 2 cut up slices of bacon. Add 2 diced potatoes, and 1/2 diced onion & saute until translucent.
Add the chopped up quahogs, & broth.
When ready to serve add cream or milk & some butter, salt and pepper to taste.

Shells can go into the compost bin.

Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day

I ordered this book from the Tiverton Library. This book by Jeff Hertzberg and Zoe Francois proves that you really can make and bake delicious bread with very little time and effort, plus the photos by Mark Luinenburg look like the baked goods from the delicious and unavoidable "Seven Stars" bakery in Providence: http://www.sevenstarsbakery.com/

This is a great budget buster book, and I'm looking forward to baking up some goodies.
