We can do this the easy way...or we can do it the hard way. I like both, so let's look at the two ways I create chicken corn chowder, with bacon and creamy deliciousness! One just takes a little longer and a few more fresh ingredients to make a "corn stock", rather than cooking from a standard chicken stock.
If doing corn stock, start from here. If you want the easier version, skip down to the CH...
You could easily make these with frozen veg, but I had the mirepoix ingredients on hand from cooking for Thanksgiving dinner, so it made sense to use fresh ingredients. I find the veg stays a little toothier with fresh, and imparts more hearty flavor and texture.
INGREDIENTS
1 large carrot, small dice (about 1/2 cup)1 stalk celery, small dice (about 1/2 cup)1/2 onion, small dice onion (abo...
I was just a tad too young. I did not see the original in a theater until the re-release. I slept overnight at the box office, along with dozens of other people, in order to get the much-anticipated tickets. Thanks to allowing unlimited group sales of the people ahead of us, by the time we got to the window, the first available tickets were at 11pm the day it released. The night of the release, we...
Chasing Christmas with Tom Arnold has some fun little reference lines paying homage to other movies:
“You shouldn’t have this (a BB gun)! You could shoot someone’s eye out with this. Santa, keep these kids away from the guns!!”
“Here’s to hot tubs and time travel.”
And this double-reference:
(Yelling through phone while a record is skipping in a disco)“Hey it’s your room mate, Joe. JOE...
Listed under "Love Strikes Twice" on YouTube, I found this Lacey Chabert Hallmark Christmas movie instead. New for 2019, about a newly out-of-work American tour guide in Rome running into a businessman out to buy a family business which makes detailed, hand-painted holiday ornaments. She becomes his personal tour guide, and a bit of a life-guide along the way.
Lacey continues to be a charming act...
Dolly is hot hot hot this season, so it’s not at all surprising Hallmark released a movie in 2019 staged at DollyWood on the 30th Anniversary of Smoky Mountain Christmas. Starring Danica McKellar (Winnie from The Wonder Years) as an event planner, and Niall Matter (Zane from Eureka) who is bucking for the GM position at DollyWood during this important landmark event.
I could do without Luke’s con...
Just finished this and have to say, it was a’ight. Acting was decent, sets and costume decent concept decent, storyline genuinely a bit different. Though I think the concept could have been explored to greater effect (someone waking up in their own ceramic Christmas village), it didn’t push too hard either. Wouldn’t watch again, but cute for holiday filler for aficionados of the B-holiday-movie g...
I missed a Holiday Movie review along the way: Let It Snow on Netflix, based on a John Green book (and not to be confused with the Hallmark movie of the same name, starring Candace Cameron Burre and Alan Thicke and...some other guy who wasn't on Growing Pains). While many faces I recognized, the two that stood out for me were Kiernan Shipka (Sabrina) and Liv Hewson (Santa Clarita Diet). There are...
