Clams

[GWguy]

Just finished steaming, shucking, cleaning and dicing 2 dozen quahogs. Going to make a big batch of clam chowder (Manhattan) for Christmas dinner.

Still have some baking and prep left to do. Found a nice rib roast, so that's been seasoned and placed into a vacuum bag until needed.

I knew there would be grief about the style. That's why I specifically said Manhattan.

To each their own.

Brothy Hatteras style clam "chowder" is amazing. The tomato based is just wrong.

But I hope you enjoy it, GWG.

Damn, it smells good in here. Chowder has been simmering all afternoon, and there's a ham/cheese/onion and a bacon/spinach/onion quiche in the oven.

Later I'll see about a batch of walnut cakes.

That, my dear, is a very good question. Fortunately, most of this is going to my folk's house for the holidays.

Pretty easy to make. Using fresh clams can be a little time consuming, but packaged will work fine.
This batch came out tasting terrific but the clams were kind of tough.
