47: Sweet corn chowder with tortillas (Page 235, Nigella Express)

I actually made this on Monday but I never got around to writing all about it. Last week when we went out for lunch some people ordered seafood chowder. I've never had chowder before so I was interested in trying this recipe to see what the difference between sweetcorn soup and chowder actually was. Apparently, not much except chowder is probably thicker. I really have to learn to half the garlic quantities because there was way too much garlic and salt in this so I had to use a lot of bread to help me get through this. And it's weird but bread didn't actually help. In the end I just got so sick of it I ended up getting rid of the last bowl.

Last week I ate a lot of leftovers. I had leftover Chinese from work which I finally finished on Thursday and I made an eggplant stirfry, half of which is still sitting in my fridge. And I probably should have stopped there but I like variety with my rice so I then bought a Thai stirfry because I'd been craving something spicy. And then I had to make something extra today for dinner as well. I can already imagine the things my mum would say about cooking food when there is already food sitting there in the fridge.
