Some of the sailors went out and gathered a large bag of mussels and clams, from which they made a liberal allowance of chowder for the table. After seven or eight days we arrived in San Pedro, and found the town to consist of one long adobe house. The beach was low and sandy, and we were wet somewhat in wading through a light surf to get on shore. We had on board a Mr.
There is everything here that there is at Brunswick except the sea, a great exception. Yesterday I was out all the forenoon sketching elms. There is no end to the beauty of these trees. I shall fill my book with them before I get through. We had a levee at Professor Park's last week, quite a brilliant affair. Today there is to be a fishing party to go to Salem beach and have a chowder.
A "clam chowder" is a very savory kind of thick soup, of which the clam is a chief ingredient. Having gathered a good basket full, he was about returning, when his eye fell upon the group of great shells in which Little Jacket and his friends were reposing, all sound asleep. "Now," thought Huggermugger, "my wife has often asked me to fetch home one of these big shells.
Keese: "He was fond of picnic excursions on the lake, generally to the Three Mile Point, and often with a party of gentlemen to Gravelly, where the main treat was a chowder, which their host made up with great gusto. He could also brew a bowl of punch for festive occasions, though he himself rarely indulged beyond a glass of wine for dinner." Concerning these festivities Mr.
He ladled out a heaping plate of the chowder for each, and they seated themselves on two great logs. Henry Burns tasted his mess first, and then he stopped, looked slyly at his comrades and didn't eat any more. Harvey got a mouthful, and he gave an exclamation of surprise. Little Tim swallowed some, and said "Oh, giminy!" Tom and Bob and the Ellison brothers were each satisfied with one taste.
There is but one right way to make clam chowder, and that is either to make it yourself or closely superintend the making, and this is the way to make it: Clam Chowder
"'Twould be a pleasant thing for us all to have a day together, and a good dinner," suggested Mistress Stoddard, "with figs, dates, and some of those fine crackers and jellies, and of course, a good fish chowder; 'twould be a treat indeed," and so it was decided that the neighborhood should be bidden to come as the guests of John Nelson and Anne for a day's pleasuring.
Don't that sound like home, Hosy! Nantucket and Cape Cod are next-door neighbors, as you might say! My! the air seems different already. I believe I can almost smell the Bayport flats. Do you know what I am goin' to do as soon as I get into my kitchen? After I've seen some of my neighbors and the cat and the hens, of course. I'm going to make a clam chowder.
It was the freshest and best I had ever eaten. The oysters in the chowder were small, but had been taken from the water that morning. After the lunch the excursionists broke up into little parties, and each went where they were best pleased to go. I felt rather inclined to go where Miss Margie went, for I had found she was as agreeable as she was pretty.
"Old Tin-Back dug 'em this mornin' at low tide. Nothin' like quahogs for chowder, though some folks likes soft clams. But not for Old Tin-Back." "Is is that really your name?" asked Amy. "Wa'al not really, miss. It's a sort of nickname. You see, I sell clams, lobsters and crabs, but I don't never sell no tin-back crabs, and so they sorter got in the habit of callin' me that."
