After Mom's experience with the massive ice storm of 2010, including 10 days without electricity, we over-prepared for this week's snow storm. Before the storm hit, Mom cooked pots of
beans and
chicken and dumplings, both things we could reheat in the fireplace if the need arose. Fortunately we did not lose electricity at any point this week and have passed the time being snowed in reheating both of those lovely dishes in the microwave and eating in the warm comfort of our home. Five days in, I'm tired of both beans and chicken and dumplings, so I decided to be adventurous and make a new curried corn chowder for lunch today. It turned out well. It's spicy and filling, making it perfect for this cold day.
