Recipe for New England fish chowder
(arrangement by Kendall Morse)

In a large cook pot, Stainless steel, not aluminum, Enough veg. oil to cover the bottom when heated. Or, pork scraps if you can find them. Remove them when crispy)
* Dice three or four large potatoes,no bigger than 1" cubes, set aside.
* Chop two large onions, spread them around the bottom of the pot. Sauté them, but do not burn!
* Add a pint or so of water, bring to a boil.
* When the onions are limp,
* Add diced potatoes

When the diced potatoes are about half cooked, add a pound of FRESH Haddock. If you use frozen haddock or cod, I will not be responsible for the mess you make!
* Add enough water to cover the vegetables,
* Bring to a boil,
* When the haddock is easily broken up and white inside,
* Remove from heat, add 1/4 pound of butter (softened)
* Gently stir until butter is a yellow film floating on top.
* Add a small can of evaporated milk (not the sweetened stuff)
* Stir in enough whole milk to cover the whole mess.
* Add salt and pepper to taste.

This is roughly how I make it, and the amounts of each ingredient is quite flexible. You can use Cod, Hake, or any white fish, but the quality will suffer somewhat.

Naturally, the amount you make depends on how many you will be serving, so, nothing is carved in stone. Bon Appetite

Lisa Moscatiello Recipe for Hober:
Puttanesca Sauce

Take a couple tablespoons of olive oil and throw it in a pan. Cut or press about 5 (or more) cloves of garlic over it. Add 15 pitted gaeta or kalamata olives. Toss in a small jar of capers. Simmer until everything starts to wilt. Chop up the contents of a 16 oz can of peeled tomatoes, or peel and cut some fresh ripe non-hydroponic tomatoes. Put these in the pan and let it simmer until it looks like sauce.

Best served the next day, or several hours after cooking so it gets really garlicky. It's more liquidy and delicate than normal tomato sauce, but it's tangy and great!
