So my “Nova Scotia Clam Chowder” came out pretty good. Not as good as my mom’s but…
I put a little too much paprika in it but it was still yummy last night and even yummier the second day - like any good chowder/stew/soup *should*!
Only disappointment was the clams I used said, “whole clams” on the can but were just clam pieces. I prefer big chunky clams rather than cut up little bits.
I’ll definitely make it again!

The latest poll by The New York Times and Siena College makes me wonder.
The poll, published Saturday, shows Donald Trump holding on to a slight edge of 46 percent to 45 percent over President Biden.
And it includes this detail:
When survey respondents were asked whether they remember the years of Trump’s presidency as “mostly good,” “mostly bad” or “not really good or bad,”
42 percent said “mostly good,”
while just 33 percent said “mostly bad.”
Mostly goo…
