Playoff Party at Home
Clam Chowder
This is an incredibly rich version of clam chowder, adapted from the Duke's (of Seattle) restaurant recipe. The one major change is that we use turnips instead of potatos.
-4 strips bacon, cut into lardons
-1 onion, diced
-3-4 celery stalks, diced
-3 turnips, peeled and diced
-1 Costco sized can of chopped sea clams (reserve juice)
-4 cups heavy cream
-1 cup half and half
-1/3 cup flour
-2 tb butter
-garlic powder, cayenne, white pepper, black pepper, salt to taste
-2 bay leaves
-1 handful fresh basil, chopped
-1 handful fresh parsley, chopped
-1 handful fresh dill, chopped
-1 ts dried marjoram
Cook bacon until translucent in a deep pot. Add the onions, celery, spices and butter and sautee for until veggies are soft. Add the flour and cook for a few more minutes over low heat. Add the liquids and bay leaves, including the reserved clam juice and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the turnips and cook until tender and the soup has thickened. Add the fresh herbs and the clams, cook for a few more minutes.

Cheesesteaks from The Cheesesteak Shop
A friend was kind enough to bring over cheesesteaks in honor of the Eagles. They were delicious.
Artichoke Jalapeno Dip
This dip from Costco was pretty good on veggies and pita chips.
Crudites
For dipping or just munching.
Stuffed Pepperoncinos
These are a derivation of jalapeno poppers, but they are served cold and not deep fried.
Bagel Station
Bagels, cream cheese, lox, red onion, capers and lemon--all the fixings for a fabulous breakfast.
The whole bagel...
