Novel & Cerita Chowder X

"And let me tell you, they make the best seafood chowder." Without further ado, Alex placed an order for a steaming bowl of chowder. To my surprise, the first spoonful was good. The rich, creamy broth, brimming with succulent seafood, soothed my unsettled stomach, coaxing out an appetite I didn't know I had. "This is delicious," "See?" Alex said, his eyes twinkling with satisfaction. "Just what you needed." We fell into a comfortable conversation, Alex entertaining me with stories of his early days learning the culinary arts under Tony's watchful eye. As I listened, a strange sense of peace settled over me.

Even someone with a heart of stone would be touched by such affection. Joseph pushed the oysters he had ordered toward her and said, "Let's eat together." Chloe declined and pushed the plate away, signaling she had no appetite. Her stomach was aching and she was not in the mood for cold oysters at the moment. Instead, she preferred a warm bowl of soup. Chloe held the bowl of clam chowder and sipped on it. As the warm soup filled her belly, happiness filled her face. A furrow appeared on Joseph's forehead.

They get what they want, spending a good couple of hours there. Then get a taxi to Grant’s place and once everything is away. They decide what to cook, having decided on the seafood chowder. They work well with each other, washing and preparing the food before throwing it all in a large Wok and letting it simmer. Grant pulls her into his arms and kisses her again. His hands going up under her top and grabbing her waist. He deepens the kiss and Stacey follows him.

He said, smirking at me from over his shoulder. "So, like I was saying..." "It's here!" He dropped a plate of food on the table. I raised my eyebrow at him, inquisitively. "What do I do with this?" I asked, eyeing the food. It didn't look appetizing. "Throw it" He rolled his eyes, leaning his elbow on the island, staring at me. "That's what I was thinking too" I picked the spoon. "What's this exactly?" "You can't tell? It's Clam Chowder" He shook his head in disbelief.

The chowder spilled from the thermos onto the carpet. He did not care. He did not even glance at me. All he cared about was calming Reyna down. … That evening, Xavier came home late. I caught the faint scent of a fragrance that I knew did not belong to me. My eyes were red. "Why were the two of you embracing each other?" "She was in a terrible state of mind," he replied matter-of-factly. "It was a slip." I stared at him in disbelief. "That's it? She was holding you that tightly, and you're telling me it was a slip? Xavier, I spent six hours learning how to make that pot of clam chowder for you, and you didn't even take a sip!"

"Heh. I can't believe you want to challenge me." Even the best chef is in vain without seasonings. Lana had previously upstaged her, and Kayla had harbored a grudge ever since. In today's competition, she had no intention of letting Lana have an easy time. Even John and Sabrina couldn't hide their sense of doubt upon seeing the bottom of the bowl of chowder. The white chowder blended seamlessly with the white crabmeat, making distinguishing one from the other impossible. There were also some mysterious red specks scattered throughout the chowder. It was unclear what they were.

Thankfully, Cole was spared having to respond to this sudden attack of compliments because Hazel shouted through to tell them food was ready. They always had seafood chowder on Fridays, and it was always served directly from the Crockpot on the stove. Aiden looked so genuinely confused by this behavior that Cole ladled him out a bowl, making sure he got plenty of mussels and prawns, because they were the best bits. They ate it with Hazel’s homemade sourdough, all smooshed around their tiny kitchen table. Cole really hadn’t thought through this “bring your billionaire-not-quite-boyfriend home” plan.

She cleared her throat and said quietly, "It's really good. You should try it, Mr. Webb. Though, I'm not sure which part of the sheep it's from." The chowder was warm and comforting, filled with tender pieces of lamb, but the cuts were a mystery. There were also radishes, berries, and a mix of ginger and pepper that tickled the nose. It warmed Zara from the inside out. As Zara poked at the meat, trying to figure out what part of the lamb it was so that she could make the same soup at home, Yosef dropped a bombshell. "It's the lamb testicles."

"Not at all!" Anathea froze. Just as she was about to speak, Gregory had already pulled out the chair across from her and sat down, locking his gaze onto hers. Anathea ignored him and focused on her meal. It was just a shared table. They could just eat their own meal. There was no need to feel awkward about it. Right then, Thomas placed a bowl of seafood chowder in front of her. The creamy chowder bubbled gently, with tender chunks of white fish peeking through the surface. A drizzle of sesame oil shimmered on top, while a scattering of chopped green onions and cilantro added a fresh pop of color.

She raised her head with disbelieving eyes and almost hit him again but settled for a scowl instead. "I've got it!" She chirped brightly. "You'll have chowder (a thick soup made with fish and vegetables) and coleslaw later on." (Coleslaw is a dish made of raw cabbage, carrots, onions and the likes mixed with mayonnaise and eaten with meat or salad.) The Princess smiled at her conclusion. Nicky wickedly cackled while Elva's sympathetic look remained. Unknown to all of them, the dramatic princess was just getting started!
