Day 3 - Corn Chowder

Or, as some people say, "Chow-dah." Said either way, it's a great idea for a cold, lonely winter's night, or fabulous addition to a summer party with lots of people. Keep those plastic containers handy for freezing, because this recipe makes a ginormous amount.

Pour 1 can of CORN, 1 can of CREAMED CORN, 1 very small can of medium-spiced GREEN CHILIS (don't use hot, believe me) and two cups of MILK or SOY MILK into a giant stockpot. Bring to a boil and then turn heat down to simmer with lid on for 10 minutes. SALT and PEPPER to taste. Viola!

If you have on hand, toss diced fresh red peppers and/or potatoes into the mix before cooking. I like to add a couple of jarred jalapenos, a squeeze of lime and shredded cheddar or monterey jack cheese as garnish. Oh, a potato-bread roll and nice refreshing beer along the lines of Pacifico make the meal complete.
