Good to see you back as well. As for the function keys - try a different
keyboard. Unless you're using a leptop/netbook. Then you have a problem
requiring disassembly most likely.

I had thought you and Steve were R-Podding off to the wilds of the 
Western US to vist chirrun and grandchirrun. Sean and I have been trying
to get Greg Mayman back into FIDO. Hopefully, if we're successful it will
induce Glen Jamieson and loose cannon, Kevin to return as well

Is that going to be to see the progeny or the Vermont thing? Just being

Right back atcha.

This was my welcome the new year nosh on amateur night. Dennis and I
did not poke our heads outside the door from 1300 on 31 December until
the sun was up on 01 January. 

At which time I delivered the leftovers to my brother and his wife who
were down with flu-like maladies - but not Covid.

      Title: Crabby Corn Chowder
 Categories: Seafood, Potatoes, Vegetables, Chilies, Dairy
      Yield: 3 Servings
 
      3 sm Red potatoes; 1/2" dice
      2 md Carrots; pared, 1/4" dice
           Salt & pepper
    1/4 lb Butter

  Combine the potatoes and carrots in a small pan. Add salt
  and cover vegetables with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce
  heat to low and simmer until vegetables are tender (about
  10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  
  Meanwhile, melt butter in medium pan. Add chilies, onion
  and corn and saute over medium heat 5 minutes.
  
  Stir in flour to form a paste. Add hot chicken broth and
  bring to boil. Reduce heat to low.
  
  Stir in reserved potatoes and carrots, crab meat (or
  Canadian bacon) and Half and Half. Simmer 5 minutes.
  
  Stir in cheese, hot pepper sauce and ground black pepper
  to taste. Serve immediately.
  
  UDD NOTES: I used Krab in place of the real McCoy. And
  niblets from a bag of Green Giant Corn in place of the
  shoepeg corn. It was still quite successful.
