Green Chili Corn Chowder

(Ben Rayl)

I am always looking for a new great, hearty soup for these chilly autumn nights. A follower of mine asked for a corn chowder recipe, so I decided to make this soup. It’s super easy to make, requires little supervision, and it’s SO good. I added a little chipotle powder to give it some smoky spice to match the bacon – if you don’t have chipotle, just use some cayenne or crushed red pepper.

This soup is the perfect starter for a heavy winter dinner, or works great for lunch with some crusty bread. It will make your house smell amazing while it’s cooking and it’s so delicious, it’s a guaranteed hit.

magic window cleaner

This is the best way EVER to clean your windows...
No drying is needed, and you won't have any spots or streaks on your window! THIS IS ALSO GOOD FOR WINDOWS THAT HAVE THAT CLOUDY, SPOTTED LOOK TO THEM FROM CALCIFICATION*******

You can clean 2 big sliding glass doors and 8 large windows in minutes!!!
Here are the ingredients you need to use:
1/2 gallon warm water
1 Tablespoon of liquid "Jet Dry" (Finish Rinse Aid)
2-3 Tablespoons of liquid laundry detergent or dish washing soap
Mix all of the ingredients above.
Spray your windows down with your hose to get them wet then wipe or brush on the solution onto your windows, then immediately hose it off.
That’s all there is to it and you're done.
The remaining water just sheets off and you don't need to dry it off!
To use in a spray bottle for inside use. 2 cups of warm water. 2 teaspoons of "finish" rinse aid. 2 teaspoons dish washing liquid. Shake well and use.

pancakes

😉

3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons white vinegar (see note)
1 cup all purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar (I used 3)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Combine the milk and vinegar in a small bowl for 10 minutes to "sour". This is an important step and it is called "soured milk" which is much different that sour milk. I guarantee you will NOT taste the vinegar in the final product. Set aside.

Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk the soured milk, egg, vanilla and melted butter together. Pour into the dry ingredients and whisk until most of the lumps are gone, but DO NOT OVER BEAT!!

The batter will be thick, don't add any more liquid. LET THE BATTER SIT UNDISTURBED FOR TEN MINUTES!! 

After 10 minutes, you will see bubbles in the batter, very important DO NOT STIR AGAIN.

GENTLY dip out (don't pour out) 1/2 cup of batter and place it on a buttered grill or frying pan. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake and then flip with a spatula and brown the other side.

Pulse until the mixture is a pale yellow and resembles a coarse meal. Sprinkle the mixture into the lined pan, and press firmly with your fingers into an even 1/4″ layer over the entire bottom of the pan and about 1/2″ up the sides. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, then bake about 20 minutes.
3. While the crust is cooling and baking, whisk together the eggs, sugar and flour for the filling in a medium bowl, then stir in the lemon zest, juice, milk and salt to blend well.
4. when the crust is done baking ,reduce the oven to 325F. Stir the filling mixture to reblend, then pour into the warm crust. Bake about 20 minutes, or until the filling feels firm when lightly touched (about 20 minutes). Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool for 30 minutes. Lift the confection up by the parchment paper and transfer to a cutting board. Fold the paper down and cut into serving size bars.
5. Sift confectioners’ sugar over the bars for decoration.
