Creamy Potato Chowder

January 19, 2015 by Shari

creamy potato chowder from lets get together

I grew up skiing in a small Utah community and loved it. As a six-year-old on Saturday mornings, I waddled on to a bus in my snow gear and headed to the mountains for a day of ski lessons and plenty of wipeouts. I didn’t seem to mind the frigid temps as much as I disliked always having to ride the ski lift with the instructor. I was usually the youngest in class so I ended up chairing with Charley Brown (that was his name, really!) I couldn’t wait to go inside the lodge at noon to de-ice and warm my body with a steaming basket of tater tots.

Creamy Potato Chowder

I still love potatoes! This potato chowder is a souper way to warm up, and I don’t even have to waddle in my skis or ignore the old guy sitting next to me!

P.S. Did you know that if you walk backwards into the ski lodge your glasses won’t fog up? Yes, I was the geek doing that so I could still see out of my octagon glasses!

    Shari,
    Can you believe our parents would let us do that? I can’t imagine letting any of my kids do that.
    It’s fun to read about you and your kids here. Nice job.

      Thanks Kerry! Yes, it’s kind of crazy the things we used to do – it’s a different world now. By the way, I love all the funny things you post on Facebook!
