Broccoli Cheese Chowder:
Your family will love this rich and smooth broccoli cheese chowder. Try serving with bread or in bread bowls. It's also delicious with asiago bagels.2 bunches (about 1 pound) fresh broccoli
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup butter
1/2 flour
4 cups milk
1 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
Cook broccoli just until tender. Do not overcook. Drain and cut into small pieces; set aside. Saute chopped onion in the 1/4 cup butter until tender; set aside. In a large saucepan or soup pot prepare a white sauce: melt the 1/2 cup butter over medium heat, then stir in flour until well blended. Gradually stir in milk, chicken broth, and salt. Stir constantly until mixture reaches a boil. Cook 1 to 2 minutes until thickened. Add broccoli and onion. Stir in cheese. Cook briefly over medium heat. Avoid bringing to a boil. Serve immediately or keep warm over low heat. Makes 6-8 servings.
After dinner we let our food settle while watching Brian Regan and laughing hysterically. :) Then we carved pumpkins...
Can you tell which object doesn't belong? Dad trying to be a pumpkin... he looks just the others - dontcha think?

Oddly enough, that last face of your mom's reminds me of you. I think you do a very similar goofy face. The resemblance is uncanny! :)
You and your mom's pics are cool because of how clear the reflection on the table is. It adds an extra dimension of silly to the picture. Looks like you guys had fun!
Looks like a fun night. You are great to have them over. What a fun family. I love Fall too!
