I used to eat Rice Krisps all the time @ChiliPepper  but got away from them for some reason!

I have never tried anything like that!  Sounds Yummy.

The most adventurous I went was maybe Cheddar Cheese.

@RespectLife 

Ya, I've had plain, caramel or chedder.

Those are the only flavors I have ever seen actually.

I'm gonna order a bag & check them out.

@ChiliPepper 

Lemme know your review!!!

DH won't eat them, so I want to be sure I would like that flavor!

I have had tortilla chips w/ lime and liked those!

@RespectLife 

They are supposed to arrive Tuesday. They are not a local item - need to be shipped in.

INTERESTING!

If you look up MStw Salmon Chowder recipe...she shows cobs in her photograph.

BUT if you read 'her' recipe (if it even is)

It clearly says 2 ears shucked in the ingredient list.

Come 'on, Martha......which is it?  Hmmmm?????

---

@RespectLife 

Ya, I wonder if she came to her senses & changed it after people commented.

It DOES look pretty but definitely not practical to eat.

I think a blogger reviewed Martha's recipe.  She did say to schuck the corn which means remove the green husks and silks.  Then she says to cut the corn in 2 inch pieces.  The blogger found this difficult and dangerous and he is right on both accounts.  He later reviewed the difficulty eating these small corn on the cob pieces-too hot to hold with your fingers and too messy to try to eat from your spoon.  He then stated just cut the corn off the cob to begin with and save yourself a lot of problems; he posted a photo of corn cut off the cob.  And an easier way is just use frozen like @RespectLife  plans to do.

What kind of leaf lettuce?

---

@RespectLife 

Blackseeded Simpson leaf lettuce.

To be honest, I am more of an iceburg lettuce girl but I planted this because it is easy, low maintenance, grows fairly quickly & keeps regrowing.

Will be nice to get home from work, snip off a bit of lettuce & make myself a salad.

That's if the bunnies don't get to it first LOL!

@ChiliPepper 

I don't know if you can still find them and it's kind of too late to start them from seeds but a garden hack is to plant marigolds around the perimeter of the produce rabbits like to eat; they don't like the smell of marigolds!

This is beautiful!   Would look lovely in a salad or a sandwich!  Never heard of it before so will be good to read what you thought of the taste.

@mustang66lady 

YES!!!!

I always do that!

I thought I was the only one who knew about that LOL!

I think I learned that from my friend's Grandpa years & years ago.

HA!  Doesn't work!

Our garden is fenced in.  Little baby bunny last year could fit under the fence for quite a while...and didn't give one hoot on all the pretty marigolds planted everywhere!  LOL

Luckily, before he did too much damaged....he grew too big!

But he did get my only 4 little blueberries....with marigolds planted on each side!

@mustang66lady 

Yes, it was a blogger ...I read all he said.

I was saying that when you just google MS Salmon chowder....her site comes up....no blogger

just on ms.com (typed out of course, I got lazy here)

as I mentioned...she shows cobs in the picture....but then in the ingredients list says shucked corn.

I don't even think she designs these recipes, I bet she has a team that does it all.

@RespectLife, Here is a Manhattan version that I received in a little publication from the mountain house electric company. I have not made it yet but I like that you make the base then you can freeze it by the quart and add your fresh fish or seafood when you like.

• Category: Seafood, Soups, Main Courses
• : Makes about 4 quarts, 3–4 servings each

This Manhattan-style chowder base is chock full of tomatoes, summer vegetables and herbs — keep it on hand for fast, fresh fish or seafood chowder. Freeze in quarts and then add any combination of oysters, shrimp, crab, clams, scallops or fish at serving time. We topped ours with crispy fried oysters.

Ingredients

• 12 slices bacon, chopped
• 1 large sweet potato, diced 
• 1 medium onion, diced 
• 3 stalks celery, diced 
• 2 large carrots, diced 
• 1 large red bell pepper, diced 
• 2 large summer squashes, chopped 
• 1 can (64-ounce) V8 juice (we used spicy!)
• 2 cans (14-ounce) roasted diced tomatoes
• 2 bottles (8-ounce) clam juice
• ¼ cup garlic paste
• ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup each fresh thyme and oregano, loosely packed and chopped
• 3 large stems fresh rosemary
• Several bay leaves
• 3 tablespoons seafood seasoning (we used Old Bay)
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 stick butter, divided
• 1 pound of fish or seafood per quart

Directions

1. In a heavy pot, cook bacon, sweet potato and onion over medium heat for about 3 minutes to render some drippings.
2. Add remaining fresh vegetables and sauté until al dente, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in remaining ingredients except butter and seafood and bring to a simmer. Cook 5–7 minutes until vegetables are tender.
4. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
5. Remove rosemary stems and bay leaves.
6. Cool and freeze or enjoy now.

At chowder time: Heat base to a low simmer. Stir in 2 tablespoons butter per quart. Add seafood and cook just until done, making sure not to overcook. Most will be done in 3–5 minutes. Or simply “garnish” warm chowder with cooked seafood. Add about 1 pound of fish or seafood per quart or as desired.

Good to know!  I have read that marigolds repelled rabbits in many a blog but good to know someone who has had no positive result to this!
