For the first time in this challenge I've had to cancel an attempt at a recipe as I couldn't find the main ingredients. My seaside town let me down in the seafood stakes. How ironic! ;-)
On the menu for dinner tonight was 'seafood chowder bake' the main ingredient - clearly - needing to be seafood! Well I could easily get fish and prawns and even squid should I have wanted it, but no clams!!! I repeat no clams!
I did have plans to get to the fish mongers, which is about 20 minutes drive from our house, in the expectation that they would have the clams I so sorely needed, but time got away on me today. I did spend the majority of the afternoon having coffee with my mum followed by a walk through the local plant nursery with her, so not really complaining, just saying is all ;-)
Well plan B it is
I already have other pieces of the required seafood, and I'm not letting them 'go to waste', so, seafood stew is on the menu instead! I've made this recipe before and we really enjoyed it, so am confident that the evening can be saved from total ruin ;-)
Phew!
