This is a special Tuesday because Dorie Greenspan herself chose this week's recipe for our Tuesday With Dorie (TwD) baking group! TWD turns 1 year old this week and, to celebrate such an incredible occasion, THEE Dorie Greenspan was selected as hostess! So yes indeedy this week we truly are baking with Dorie! She chose her French Pear Tart for the recipe and lucky for me she had other fruits in the Playing Around options because 1) I have not a pear in the house 2) I wasn't about to hit the market to buy pears and 3) I have a whole bunch of apples that need to be used up :)]]>Em's Potato-Corn Chowderhttp://www.therepressedpastrychef.com/home/2009/1/5/ems-potato-corn-chowder.htmlEm2009-01-05T00:00:12Zrecipes food soup

It's Sunday afternoon and I have a busy, busy day planned in the kitchen. The last day before we return to work after a nearly two-week "vacation" and psychologically I'm bummed. Where did the time go? Maybe I spent too much of it playing Guitar Hero World Tour with DH and the kids ;-) Anyway, I made this soup this afternoon and it turned out so tasty, so amazingly good, that I just had to rush and post it so that I could share it with all of you. It's something great for a cold wintery day... a nice thick, rich, chowder. Paired with some crusty bread... or better yet in a bread bowl... and you've got yourself quite a meal.
