Got a copy of the Women's Day, yes I have a couple magazine subscriptions. I like to flip through an occasional magazine and to circle things, tear out pages, put post-it notes on pages to remember.
This recipe is a potato corn chowder and the reason I decided to try it was because you make it in the slow cooker.
I added more corn, garlic, chorizo, and thyme than the recipe calls for and I skipped the half and half, but I did add some sour cream right before serving. It's a lot of chopping and then waiting while it cooks in the crockpot you can make it on low for like 6 hours or 3-4 on high. I think if you made it on the stove it would take 40-60 minutes? I think that you could add 1/4 a cup of white wine if you wanted to do that. If you are Gluten Free just don't use the 2 tbsp of flour. If you are vegan, skip the chorizo and veggie crumbles and use vegetable broth instead of chicken.
It's officially Oktoberfest Me and the hubs split this crowler --basically a quart of beer. So we each had a pint. Neither of us used the quart-sized stein that came with the beer. It's just a heavy as you would think! The hubs said this beer reminded him of Old Style. I said it reminded me of Heineken. In general, when we have a beer we don't' usually go with a lager.
Prost!
