GRANDMA'S CLAM CHOWDER
My kids grew up on this recipe so now, when they're home from college, it's a demanded meal. Great for Friday nights and Sunday afternoon. Awesome with a pale ale. Not a good recipe if you're on a diet!

Steps:
- Lay out bacon in the bottom of a large stock pot over low heat. Render bacon slowly until nearly crisp but while grease is still very liquid (about 10 minutes).
- Add onions, carrots and celery and cook until nearly soft. Turn up heat slightly if necessary (about 10 minutes).
- Add potatoes to vegetables and mix well.
- Sift in flour slowly, stirring constantly, until flour and bacon grease make a roux.
- Add salt, pepper and hot sauce.
- Add stock to cover vegetables (no more than 1" over).
- Stir, add bay leaves and bring to a boil.
- When just at boiling, reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are cooked through but not mushy (20-25 min.).
- Add clams and increase heat until just boiling then remove from heat.
- Stir in cream.
- Ladle to bowls and garnish with parsley.
