August 26, 2018. Western Head, Nova Scotia. Seafood Chowder.

Every restaurant in Nova Scotia serves seafood chowder. Every cook in Nova Scotia makes seafood chowder. But every time you taste another chowder, it tastes just a little bit different. Different, but delicious. I do not know if it is official but seafood chowder should be the food of Nova Scotia. My friend Mary makes wonderful seafood chowder, On Friday at noon, she invited the DWEMs for lunch. She was serving her chowder. Of course we all accepted because it is the best seafood chowder in the world. We have all tasted it before and we were eager to sample it again. Our lunch was delicious and fun too. Walt and Mary have expanded and screened in their back deck so we sat enjoying their new room before lunch. What a success. We all enjoy projects but their screened deck is a splendid addition to the house. It overlooks their magnificent garden and is a beautiful place to sit to take in the garden. Ken could not finish his chowder so asked to bring it home. This morning for brunch, I cooked scrambled eggs using the left over chowder. It was delicious the second time too. It is always a treat eating a meal cooked by Mary but it is a special event when we eat Mary's seafood chowder. We were in hog heaven.
