What did you eat today?

[Owlie]

Ugh. Feel better, Catrin!

(and do you have a recipe for the salmon chowder?)

This is the recipe that I loosely followed as a guide. I used sweet potatoes rather than white potatoes (I don't do nightshades) and was my first attempt at anything like a "fish soup". It came out rather tasty! I cut the broth in half, only 2 slices of fresh side rather than a full pound of bacon, and a couple of other changes since I didn't want to make a large amount of it. I did use a full can of salmon.

I hope you feel better soon, Catrin!!

Thanks! I have some canned salmon to use up.

That's a lot of bacon! I think I'll be cutting that down a bit...

Think I can use milk or something higher-fat (but still dairy) in place of the coconut milk? I might fuse this with a second salmon chowder recipe (both halved, because I don't want to be eating this forever), and perhaps add some kale. I think I have everything except the bay leaf and cream, and I need to go to the grocery store anyway (nearly out of garlic!).

stopped by the store for some veggies on the way home from Dr. and pharmacy

Take it easy, Catrin.
