Snow Day!

 

I do love a pretty snowy day.

Now that we're retired and don't have to leave the house, what's not to love?

We got 5 or 6 inches here at the house.  Hard to tell, really, with the snow blowing as hard as it is leaving some spots bare and others with all drifts.

AND a perfect day for soup!!

I revised an existing recipe for Slow Cooker Potato and Corn Chowder that I had already revised once (maybe twice).

Here it is as best I can remember.  There are many versions available on the web. Find one to play around with and make it your own, or follow mine, although I'm not a person who is devoted to measuring my ingredients.
