Super flavors! The bacon gives a bit of saltiness and then the creamed corn adds a great sweetness! I made this just as written and think it's great as it is. I'll make this again. Thanx ev! -
it was delicious!even though im only 13...it was easy for me to make!but i hate thyme...its better without... -
i followed your recipe using fresh thyme, it was very quick and easy. i do prefer fresh clams to canned and fresh or frozen corn. this reminded me of something my mom used to make when we were very young, without the clams.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
