 Riding my bike back to my apartment tonight, I made up my mind to have a hearty soup for dinner. The temperature dropped more than I had expected, and I was almost frozen to death on my way back. At the supermarket I dropped by, I spent more time than I wanted to, because I couldn't decide what soup to make. Once I filled my shopping basket with ingredients for chanko-nabe. But when I saw oysters on the shelf, my inner voice said, "Oyster chowder! Juicy, plump oysters in hot milky chowder with black peppers sprinkled on top!!" AH! How could I resist?  So when I finally had this nice, warm oyster chowder at my kotatsu, it was already past 10 pm. Now I'm warm and satisfied, and sleepy... Categories: Western-inspired |

Hi Obachan,
In the last few months, you may remember receiving an email invitation to become a part of the Foodbuzz Featured Publisher Program. With all the recipe-writing and food photography to be completed, we know emails can easily get lost in the shuffle, so Foodbuzz would like to re-extend our offer of inviting you to be a part of our food blogger network. I would love to send you more details about the program, so if you are interested, please email me at Shannon@foodbuzz.com.
Cheers!

That soup sounds really delicious. Lately I've been craving clam chowder but I like oysters even more than clams so this would be perfect!
Nice to hear you bike ride to get around, a very healthy way to communte. I miss being on my bike. Can't get into drop bar position well enough, (car accident). I should just change my handlebars out.
Well, your oyster chowder makes my mouth water. Everything look good, even your "Bloopers".
Really enjoy your blog.
Yummy..!!
Miss em small oysters in Japan! They were so good! The chowder looks so yummy!

Hi. Thanks for the invitation.

I love clam chowder, too. But good, big clams are hard to find here. :(

I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying my blog. Keep coming back! ;)
Yeah, bicycling is a healthy way to commute, but very unpleasant on rainy days... especially in winter.

Good thing is that this year we don't have a severe outbreak of norovirus here like we did in the 2006-2007 winter season. I was really scared to eat oysters last winter.
