Mariner's Salmon Chowder

My Honey decided last week that she wanted some salmon chowder. Normally, she makes it herself, but I'm at home more now, and she's working, so I got the job of figuring out how to make it. I looked at all of her cookbooks, and couldn't find a single chowder recipe that called for salmon. Some of the ingredients for the other chowders didn't strike me as going well with salmon, either. Anyway, I improvised, and it turned out very well. I decided to put it out here, in case any of you might like to try it.

Thanksgiving Turkey

So today I cooked my first-ever turkey.

Now, I could probably say that I've cooked them before, but in reality, I only helped the person who was actually in charge of the cooking. I didn't have to know what to do to the bird to get it ready to cook. I didn't have to know what temperature to cook it at. I didn't have to know how long to cook it, or what to do with it when it was done. All I had to do was stand around, and act when called upon.
