One of the most useful “Carnivals” in the blogosphere, I think, is “Carnival of the Recipes.”

I used it as the basis for tonight’s dinner. I started with the leek and potato soup, and modified it to make a seafood chowder (post title refers to the Simpsons episode in which Freddy Quimby is falsely (though justly, considering what a twerp he is) accused of injuring a French waiter because he wouldn’t pronounce “Chowdah” correctly (using the Kennedyesque Boston accent), instead pronouncing it “Chowdair”).

Instead of using sausage, and chicken broth, I instead used fresh mahi-mahi, and a couple cans of chopped clams, with juice.

It was delish.
