From the 1948 Good Housekeeping Cookbook:

"Cover necks well with clam liquid or water; cook about 10 min. Strain liquid into soup; discard necks. Add tomatoes, 2 cups more of clam liquid, soft parts of clams, and flour combined with 2 tablsp. of water."

I'm only tagging Mendacious--Kurt would beat me (or send an intern), and Delta is way too busy being a productive citizen of Finland, and Sebastien hasn't updated in a while, and......you get it.
Oh, BTW--it's a recipe for curry clam soup.

Random Stuff

So---back when I thought I would be moving to Montana, I placed some sprouting potatoes in my compost heap--the same heap I'd put all my potting soil and organic compost in. They took off and grew like crazy, and yesterday I harvested fresh spuds from my garden. Never having had them fresh from the earth before, allow me to say "WOW!!". Tender--amazingly so. Made the most toothsome hashbrowns at breakfast, and mashed at dinner--you could just plotz. I'm going to try soup, next. There will be onions to harvest soon---probably going to become soup, too. (I'm a soup crazed soup addict--don't try to get between me and the broth if ya know what's good fer ya)
Speaking of soup--I made fresh cream of mushroom last night---again with the "wow". Using half-n-half makes a big difference (no more skim in my soup, merci beaucoup)
And being truly random, let me say that The Long Kiss Goodnight is my favorite Geena Davis movie.
