National Clam
Chowder Day It's National Clam Chowder Day! All across the country people will be lining up with spoons in hand to dive into a nice warm cup of clam chowder. In Worcester, people will be fighting the large snow banks and the cold weather to get clam chowder at their favorite spots.
GoLocal Worcester wants to make it easier for those folks that are willing to brave the elements. GoLocal has put together the Ten Best Bowls of Clam Chowder in Worcester.

Inconvenience Yourself Day
Inconvenience Yourself Day
Inconvenience Yourself Day is an opportunity to focus on inconveniencing ourselves instead of inconveniencing others. It is also a day to recognize and acknowledge those who inconvenience themselves for others. Acknowledgment can be verbal, a note, or some small token of appreciation. http://www.inconvenienceyourself.com

From Betty MacDonald's "Onions in the Stew":

"A good recipe for a quick delicious Clam Chowder which we have evolved over the years is: At least four cups of butter clams cut out of the shell and washed thoroughly. Grind with the clams:
1 green pepper
1 bunch of green onions
6 slices of bacon
2 large peeled potatoes
1 bunch parsley
Put everything in a large kettle, add one cube of butter and enough water to cover. Cook slowly until the potatoes are done. Add two or three large cans of milk, salt and coarse ground pepper to taste. Serve, as soon as the milk is hot, with buttered toast."
