Clam Chowder With Bacon!
A few weeks ago, I made my usual trip to Costco and purchased two ginormous cans of clams. I had no idea what I was going to do with them, but I was thinking that I'd like to try making clam chowder, so I did.
Luckily, there was a clam chowder recipe already on the back of the large can, so I didn't have to search too far in order to find what I was looking for.
Once I had the recipe in front of me, I set the clams aside, and began dicing some rather large russet potatoes into shapes that sort of resembled cubes. I also diced some onions, minced some garlic (without a garlic press I'll have you know), and went to the store to get some half-and-half. (The recipe called for either milk or half-and-half, but I like creamier chowders so opted for the latter.)
