We have a Sherlock Holmes reader/customer who triumphed with this week's riddle - what wine(s) are we featuring at our 3-6pm tasting and he had it right - wines from grapes that grow along the Danube and the Rhine Rivers in starting north of Lake Constance in Southern Germany and flowing in either direction to the Black Sea and the North Sea yada yada - why he even had the hint that we would be serving simple pretzels and white mustard instead of breads (Tuscan or French) and in keeping with the tradition. Wow. Right.
He was hoping to make it down to pick up that Riesling because he was inspired by his Sherlock Holmes and it was such a grey day, crows crowing and fog settling, that over his bacon and eggs, he got out his crock pot and went to his pantry to see what he could let simmer for the day before he joined us for wine and, as he said, take a bottle or two home with him to pair up with what is a "soup day". Elementary Mr. Watson. Creamy Corn Chowder
In a crock pot dump in:
4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1 can (16 ounce size) creamed corn
2 cans chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar
in the last hour add:
1 can (12 ounce size) evaporated milk or just a cup of whole milk or creame.
Takes about 5 hours give or take.
Serve with our Riesling selections. See you.
