Cartoon Review: Chowder

In our home, most all of the television that we watch is something I’ve pulled up from our recorded shows. We rarely watch live television.

Up until recently, the only cartoons that my son had been exposed to were the following: *Tom & Jerry *Spongebob Squarepants *Looney Toons *Dora the Explorer *Garfield Most of the time, my son watches recorded episodes of Spongebob Squarepants or his dvd collection of seasons of Spongebob. Since he was so interested in everything Spongebob, I never really … Continue reading →

My family likes this served with corn muffins or cornbread, which they crumble into the chowder, or dip in, but that’s a little heavy on the overall corn factor for my taste. I like to add a salad of plain greens with a spicy dressing to … Continue reading →
