Spicy Seafood Chowder

I invented this yesterday, and it was so yummy! It will feed probably, at least eight people, or more, depending on appetites.

Bake off 3(or more) flounder fillets. Break up with a fork and set aside.

While the fish is baking, in a large pot, make a white sauce using…

*1 stick butter

*2/3 cup all purpose flour

*4 cups milk

*salt and pepper to taste

Now add

*1-1/2 cups stock of your choice (I used chicken)

*1 tsp. smoked paprika

*1 tsp. onion powder

*1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper (less or more to taste)

*1 clove garlic, minced

*2-3 Tbsp. basil, fresh or pesto

*3 cups frozen corn

*2 zucchini, diced

Cook over medium heat until everything is hot. Stir in fish and serve. I recommend corn chips, toasts (that sort of thing) on the side. :)

Clothespin Dolls for Friends

Old-fashioned clothespins, leftover paper and fancy tape, hot glue, pigma micron pens, and acrylic paint—all put to use for a cheery little gift. :)
