Many an enjoyable lunch or dinner was had on Cape Cod--New England clam chowder (it is illegal to serve Manhattan style in massachusetts) with a Caesar salad and a bracing, chilled to the bone white wine. its' how i learned to really enjoy pinot gris (though my introduction to oregon wines was a decade earlier in the backwoods of Maine--picked up along the way at one of those NH liquor stores). anyway...there's probably chicken in the soup somewhere. but i didn't put it there.
2 cans or so of some chowder. chunky or progresso works, so does safeway PACIFIC fresh chowder. heated.
served, no other way, with westminster oyster crackers (delivered from dakin farms in vermont. gotta love that internet thingie)
go to dakinfarm.com and search westminster crackers. go for the individual packages and you'll feel like you're eating at a restaurant and limit everyone to two packages for portion control.
salad (like i need to tell you)
romaine, torn
kens' creamy caesar dressing
marzettis' new york texas toast caesar croutons (yeah, whatever)
parmesan cheese
anchovies, if you must
hard boiled eggs, chopped if you got em. feed some of the yolk to the dog.
served up tonite with cameron hughes russian river 2006 chardonnay
(lemony, almost as light as a sav blanc, but meatier, not so heavy as oaked chards, not as dry as some of the 06s we're finding).
