With one exception, I was able to make this chowder as per the recipe ~ I did use frozen corn rather then fresh! Another time I might even switch to a lemon pepper instead of the usual S&P, but that's no biggie! We thoroughly enjoyed the crab & corn combo, & that, along with a green salad gave us a very satisfying lunch, thanks to you & your recipe! [Made & reviewed in Healthy Choices ABC Tag]

In my family, I am most famous (infamous) for several dishes:
My first original recipe: Conceived around age 7, for a cheese sandwich. Toasted English muffin, spread with butter, slice of American cheese, a good layer of Parmesan, top with other half of buttered muffin.
My most disasterous recipe: The Exploding Brownies. Otherwise great hershey's recipe for brownies involving an ingredient (baking powder) that I'd never used before. I somehow misread 1/4 teaspoon as a 1/4 cup. Brownie coated the ENTIRE oven.
My most requested recipe: Stollen at Christmas. I am required to make one for my mother ever since my sister gave me Christian Teubner's wonderful Christmas Baking book full of traditional German Christmas treats.
