Mashed Potato and Garlic Corn Chowder Recipe

Andy and I have been married for twelve years, and as you can imagine, with four kids in the mix, just about everything we've had up until this point has either been destroyed or broken.  We've learned, along the way, that the good stuff stays put up until we have company or our little ones prove old enough to use it carefully.  That's why I vow to protect my new Pfaltzgraff Dinnerware with everything I have!  It's absolutely off limits to the kiddos. My new Pfaltgraff Calico stoneware is pretty awesome.  Each place setting comes with the following: 11 inch…

It was actually taken before it got cold and rainy. It was about 72 degrees in this picture and the humidity was so high, I could see it,…
