Mussel & Corn Chowder

I must say...and scott said it first...this chowder was even better than the mussels the night before. we used a recipe from america's test kitchen for fish chowder and used mussels instead and added fresh corn kernels we had on hand. we had to find another excuse to use the new pot and we'd never made chowder before. it was so yummy. i only wish it had been colder so the hot soup was even more cozy...its almost thanksgiving and its barely cold...no white Christmas here. i'll have to add the recipe later, 'cause we're moving this week and all my cookbooks are in boxes in our new garage. but you can google any quality recipe for fish or clam chowder, or even corn chowder...enjoy with crispy crackers, crusty bread, fresh parsley, and someone you love. this was even better the next night over rice pilaf (see other blogs for recipe)...sounded weird to me, but scott insisted and it was really good. i think we had bill m.- our friend over to watch the game that night and this helped to soothe the loss the guys had to endure...although bill m. vowed to never watch the cowboys ever again...it was emotional
