Clam Cakes and Rhode Island Chowder

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00781

For the first Friday of Lent we went and picked up a bunch of clam cakes from Portside Fish Market. Allison wanted to make Rhode Island Clam chowder because that is the kind that she enjoys most of all. The rest of the family prefers New England Clam Chowder but that is okay, we gave the Rhode Island kind a try. I would definitely call Rhode Island clam chowder more of a soup than a chowder. It is far too thin for my liking. I love dipping the clam cakes into New England Clam chowder and getting them all covered but it is not as satisfying with Rhode Island chowder. The kids ended up having New England style after all because Allison bought some of that in case the kids weren’t into the Rhode Island.

The clam cakes, however were on point. Portside makes some great clam cakes and I think we may just have to revisit them for additional Fridays for these next 40 days.

Last night Andy came to my office to get a canvas because we wanted to paint today. He created this sunset on his newly cleaned off desk. He was hard at work yesterday cleaning his room so that he could use his desk. He did a nice job on the art and the desk.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
