No. 2 Montana State Bobcats roll to Brawl of the Wild win over No. 9 Montana Grizzlies, complete 12-0 regular seasonWhen you think of "chowder," what do you imagine? Probably a filled with chunks of potato and some sort of seafood, likely clams. It's assumed chowder first appeared in the small fishing villages of Brittany, and then the made its way across the European continent and eventually across the waters, to England and then eventually to North America. There, the hearty, easy, and accessible seafood-rich soup found a home in similar fishing villages. While it's not entirely clear who exactly spread the good word of chowder across the world (whether traveling sailors, immigrants, or a mix of both), by the 1800s, chowder had appeared in American cookbooks. As chowder spread, though, it also changed. Ingredients were swapped out, making use of what was geographically on hand. As a result, today, your version of chowder may be different from another person's version, particularly if they live across the country or the world. For example, corn chowder is wildly different from New England clam chowder; even if you keep the clams, chowder can differ heavily from location to location, as is seen when you compare New England and Manhattan clam chowders. Here are some of the most popular types of chowders and what makes them unique. New England clam chowder Possibly the most well-known type of chowder — you can buy it in just about any — New England clam chowder (also sometimes called Boston clam chowder) features a creamy broth base, potatoes, and, of course, clams. Depending on your recipe, you might also add bacon, onions, and celery to the mix, but you always serve it with a side of oyster crackers. It's the creamy broth that really makes New England clam chowder stand out from a lot of others, though. Whereas Manhattan clam chowder often has a red-tinted broth, and corn chowder a yellow-tinted broth, a classic New England clam chowder is stark white. Perhaps one of the primary reasons why New England clam chowder is so iconic and well-known is because it's simply old. Restaurants were serving Boston clam chowder in the city in the early 1800s, with some tracing the chowder's origins in the area back to the 1700s. Manhattan clam chowder Manhattan clam chowder does not contain the milk or cream that you would add to New England clam chowder, so it doesn't have a thick, white broth. Instead, the broth is a mixture of clam juice and chicken broth, and, thanks to the addition of tomatoes, it's a shade of red similar to what you might see in a vegetable soup. Manhattan clam chowder does still use the clams and potatoes that you would find in New England clam chowder, but the thinner broth is bulked up by the addition of more overall vegetables, such as bell peppers or carrots. Some believe that immigrant populations from Portugal brought the chowder with them to Manhattan, where it then took root. Other reports, however, claim that a Manhattan fish market, which sold a clam chowder originally more similar to New England clam chowder, started making Manhattan-style clam chowder only after milk became too expensive. Whatever the origins, though, this chowder is polarizing. While some love it, others think it's not worthy of mentioning in the same breath as New England clam chowder. Long Island clam chowder Long Island and Manhattan aren't that far apart — maybe 50 miles. Can chowder from the two destinations really be so different? Well... kind of. Long Island clam chowder is somewhat similar to Manhattan clam chowder, as well as New England clam chowder. Think of it like if the Manhattan and New England chowders got together and had a little chowder baby. That's what you'll get in Long Island. In fact, some restaurants have taken this idea of Long Island clam chowder so literally that they just blend half a bowl of each of the two parent chowders together and call it a day. The color is likely the first thing you'll notice. What do you get when you mix white and red? Pink — so, yes, this chowder is pink, thanks to Manhattan's tomatoes and New England's dairy. Otherwise, the chowder is fairly straightforward and unsurprising, with the requisite clams, potatoes, bacon, and a few vegetables. Rhode Island clam chowder Rhode Island clam chowder could be defined as "the clear one." That's right, rather than a white, red, or pink broth, Rhode Island clam chowder has a clear broth. The clear broth is not chicken broth, though. Instead, it's fully clam broth and clam juice. This broth is the main differentiator and, otherwise, the chowder is pretty standard, utilizing clams, potatoes, bacon, celery, and onion. While Long Island clam chowder has only gained popularity relatively recently, Rhode Island clam chowder shares the Manhattan and New England chowders' longevity. A clear clam chowder recipe can be traced back to an 1888 cookbook (though that recipe does throw in some tomatoes, a la Manhattan). Other reports call Rhode Island clam chowder the true original American chowder, enjoyed by Indigenous populations, rather than introduced by immigrants. Indigenous populations wouldn't have had access to the dairy needed to make New England clam chowder. Cows were introduced to North America by the Europeans, with mass importations occurring until the 1640s. Maine clam chowder Yes, while Maine is technically part of New England, that doesn't mean that you'll find New England chowder there — at least not the same New England chowder that you'll find in Boston. Instead, Maine puts its own spin on the dish, for a chowder that's very similar to the Bostonian version, but with one key difference: It's not as thick. Maine clam chowder does contain milk, so it has that white broth, but there's no thickening agent, like a roux, used in the cooking process. As such, you get a broth with a true broth consistency, versus the thicker texture (described by some as "gluey") found in classic New England chowder. In some recipes, though, crackers are crushed and mixed into the final product, which does thicken the chowder a bit. Maine clam chowder otherwise contains the same ingredients as its sibling to the south, including bacon, potatoes, onion, and clams. Minorcan clam chowder Clam chowder isn't just a northern dish, though. Travel far, far south to Florida, and you'll find a chowder unique to St. Augustine and the surrounding area: Minorcan clam chowder. The chowder is similar in appearance to Manhattan clam chowder, with a tomato-infused broth that omits any dairy, and it also contains more vegetables than a New England chowder, such as carrots and bell pepper (alongside the requisite potatoes and clams). The secret ingredient that really makes this chowder stand out from all the others, though, is the datil pepper. Supposedly, indentured servants brought the datil pepper with them to Florida from Minorca, hence the chowder's name. Today, the descendants of those Minorcan immigrants are still using the peppers to make the region's unique chowder. It's no surprise if you don't recognize this chile's name, though. Datil peppers are similar to habaneros, but they're not quite as popular throughout most of the country. You may have a difficult time finding them outside of St. Augustine and the immediate surrounding areas. Hatteras clam chowder Also in the South, Hatteras clam chowder, sometimes called Outer Banks clam chowder, is native to the North Carolina coast (Hatteras is an island in the Outer Banks). Like Rhode Island clam chowder, Hatteras clam chowder is clear and puts the focus on the clams, with no dairy or tomatoes added. Some recipes will include bacon, red potatoes, and a mirepoix (a mix of diced onion, celery, and carrots), but others omit the carrots and celery, for a dish that's more or less just potatoes and clams in a seafood stock. You can find Hatteras clam chowder sold at many restaurants around the region and families pass down their own recipes, but it's unclear how this chowder got its start. However, it is historically clear why this clam chowder leaves the dairy out of the equation. Until it became a tourism destination, the Outer Banks was a relatively poor region and most living there did not have the funds necessary to buy milk or own a dairy cow. Southern Illinois chowder The history of chowder would have you believe that this is a coastal state-only dish. Introduced by seafaring peoples and immigrants flocking from Old World fishing villages, chowder and fresh seafood traditionally go hand in hand. However, you can find unique chowders hundreds of miles from any ocean, as is the case in Illinois. Southern Illinois chowder doesn't look like any other chowder on this list. It doesn't use any seafood. Instead, it combines beef and chicken. It also adds in a plethora of vegetables, including tomatoes, corn, multiple types of beans, potatoes, and celery. Seasoning is sometimes limited to salt, pepper, and hot sauce, for a chowder that's all its own. Additionally, in Illinois, the word "chowder" doesn't just refer to the food. It also refers to an event where chowder is made. State tradition dictates that a chowder is a social occasion, wherein community members gather to cook chowder in large quantities, over an outdoor fire, in a cauldron, with continuous stirring. In the past, community members would donate individual ingredients for the chowder-making, whatever they produced on their farm and had handy. Salmon chowder If we continue making our way across the United States, sampling the various regional chowders as we go, eventually we'll hit salmon chowder country, aka the Pacific Northwest. While it is possible to find local chowders in the Pacific Northwest that incorporate clams, there are several reasons why salmon is sometimes preferred instead. West Coast clams aren't as flavorful. Sometimes they're stringy. They can also be expensive. Thus, salmon becomes a good choice. From there, though, there are some deviations within the region. For example, some Northwest salmon chowder recipes share a quality in common with Long Island chowder: a pink hue. This isn't just because of the pink salmon. Some recipes may blend both dairy and tomatoes into the mixture, resulting in a pink broth. Still, other recipes may ditch the tomatoes and instead add corn into their salmon chowder for a result that's half-salmon chowder, half-corn chowder. Whatever the case, you're guaranteed a chowder that's filled with succulent bites of fresh salmon. Irish fish chowder But what about the chowders from Europe? The ones that supposedly started it all? While those chowders may've given birth to American chowders, they're still unique in their own ways. For example, take Irish fish chowder. A favorite once viewed as only a "poor man's food," Irish chowder doesn't always include clams. Instead, it reliably incorporates various fish, such as salmon, haddock, and/or white fish, with some recipes then incorporating other seafood, like clams, prawns, or mussels. The chosen fish is often smoked, which provides an extra layer of flavor that American chowders typically get by adding in bacon. Additionally, recipes call for leeks either in place or on top of onions. Otherwise, recipes do incorporate potatoes, onions, and celery, as well as a creamy broth — though the broth is thinner than what you might find in a New England clam chowder. Then, once the chowder is ready, you probably won't get it with a packet of crackers; instead, it's served with a side of hearty bread. Finnan haddie chowder Not too far away, in Scotland, they enjoy something known as finnan haddie chowder, and have for centuries. "Finnan haddie" refers to smoked haddock — but particularly smoked haddock from one Scottish town. "Finnan" is a stand-in for the town name of Findon, and "haddie," obviously is a nickname for "haddock." In the 1800s, the town's fishwives regularly salted and smoked haddock over peat fires, hanging the fish in their chimneys, the peat smoke giving the fish a unique flavor. While finnan haddie can be enjoyed on its own, you can also turn it into a chowder and when that happens, the chowder is called "cullen skink." Much like the finnan haddie gets its name from a town and ingredient, so does the cullen skink, named after the town of Cullen and the "skink" or "shin" of a cow. Originally, the dish would have been made with beef, but when beef became too expensive, the finnan haddie was the obvious replacement. The chowder is relatively simple compared to American chowder. It's mostly just a broth, the smoked haddock (or finnan haddie), and roughly mashed potatoes added as a thickener, for a chowder that's a bit like a potato soup with fish. Bermuda fish chowder It might be a fish chowder, but this dish from Bermuda is far from the fish chowders of the nearby U.S. East Coast. On the thin side and with a tomato-based broth, Bermuda fish chowder contains a vast array of vegetables, spices, and seasonings, including, uniquely, turnips, cloves, marjoram, cinnamon, and curry powder. Additionally, it's often finished with dark rum and sherry pepper sauce. The result is a chowder that's likened more to bouillabaisse than any New England chowder. Not familiar with one of the chowder's key ingredients, sherry pepper sauce? It's a Bermuda specialty that dates back hundreds of years. Locals would sell peppers to sailors stopping at the island during their travels between North America and England. The sailors would store the peppers in sherry, creating what they called "pepper wine." The sailors would use the product as a condiment on food that spoiled during their long voyages, for a more palatable flavor. Don't worry: Modern sherry pepper sauce isn't masking the flavors of any spoiled food in your fish chowder. It is, though, adding a sweet kick of heat. Corn chowder Much like New England clam chowder, can be purchased from a handful of brands in the aisle of your local grocery store. It's easy to see why, too, corn chowder has grown in popularity to a point that it's sold on a mass scale (as compared to some of the other chowders on this list that are only available regionally, and then only at restaurants or in private homes). Corn chowder is accessible, affordable, and palatable to those who aren't quite keen on seafood. When comparing corn chowder to a seafood chowder, there are only a few similarities. The broth is thick. There are potatoes and sometimes bacon. There's milk (though a small number of recipes do go with a clear broth approach). It's a hearty, warming dish. That's about it. The corn really dominates a corn chowder in a way you don't really see a single ingredient dominant most chowders, seafood or no. Additionally, corn chowder doesn't have the same rich history as most seafood chowders. Potato chowder Lastly, what if you just did away with all the "extra" ingredients in a seafood chowder? Toss the seafood. Ditch the carrots or peppers. Keep the potatoes and the milk. You'd basically have a potato chowder. What, you may ask, is the difference between a potato chowder and a ? The two terms can be used interchangeably on occasion. Technically, though, a chowder is thicker and creamier than a soup, which actual chunks of ingredients throughout. That said, you may have a dish that's all of these things, and some may still reference it as a potato soup. And you can even find some recipes for "potato chowder soup"! If you do want to try your hand at making a potato chowder, just be sure to use the , i.e., a variety that will both act as a thickener and also retain some shape, providing your chowder with the necessary chunks. Yukon gold potatoes are a good pick. Recommended
Candace Cameron Bure is looking forward to shooting “another four to five movies” with Great American Family in 2025, but her road to happiness with the network hasn’t been easy. “It certainly is difficult when talking to media outlets,” Cameron Bure, 48, confessed to The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published on Wednesday, December 25. “While we are grateful for media outlets that point people to our channels, there’s still always a risk because the answers can be written out of context .” The actress noted that her past comments about Great American Family — which is a channel under the Great American Media banner — focusing on “traditional marriage” as opposed to Hallmark Channel’s more inclusive story lines (including same sex couples, etc.) was a bump in the road. “That certainly happened to me when moving over to Great American Family, and it was a really hard time,” Cameron Bure recalled. “And to be misunderstood in that way was difficult.” The Full House alum made headlines in April 2022 when she announced that she was leaving Hallmark Media after 13 years to work exclusively with Great American Media. The move reunited Cameron Bure with Hallmark’s former CEO, Bill Abbott , who raised eyebrows before his own departure from the network when he removed an ad featuring a same-sex couple from the channel. In November 2022, Cameron Bure explained her reason for switching networks after previously being the face of Hallmark’s holiday coverage and being dubbed the “Queen of Christmas.” She told The Wall Street Journal ’s WSJ. Magazine at the time, “My heart wants to tell stories that have more meaning and purpose and depth behind them.” She claimed that Hallmark was a “completely different network than when I started” and she was excited to work with Great American Family due to its desire to “promote faith programming and good family entertainment.” Cameron Bure added, “I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core.” The comment caused outrage among fans and celebrities alike with some people calling Cameron Bure a “ bigot .” Cameron Bure — who has now produced several movies for Great American Family under her Candy Rock Entertainment production company banner — shared a message of sadness at the time over the backlash she received. “All of you who know me, know beyond question that I have great love and affection for all people,” she began in a lengthy statement shared via Instagram in November 2022. “It absolutely breaks my heart that anyone would ever think I intentionally would want to offend and hurt anyone. It saddens me that the media is often seeking to divide us, even around a subject as comforting and merry as Christmas movies. But, given the toxic climate in our culture right now, I shouldn’t be surprised. We need Christmas more than ever.” She noted that she is a “devoted Christian” who said she is “called to love all people.” Cameron Bure concluded: “To everyone reading this, of any race, creed, sexuality, or political party, including those who have tried to bully me with name-calling, I love you.” Two years later, Cameron Bure said that Great American Family is still trying to get their footing in the media realm and working toward its faith-focused content. “We are a relatively new channel. This is only our fourth year in Christmas,” she told THR . “Like any new business, you have your core demographic and what you’re looking for, and you’re going to produce the product that will best suit that audience.” The Fuller House alum continued: “Most networks are not trying to be all things to all people. What really differentiates our channel from some of the other ones out there is that we’re not afraid to talk about God and God’s hand in our lives instead of fate or providence.” Cameron Bure pointed out that Great American Family leans into “faith in our movies” that align with their tagline for the channel which is: “ Christmas as it’s meant to be .” You have successfully subscribed. By signing up, I agree to the Terms and Privacy Policy and to receive emails from Us Weekly Check our latest news in Google News Check our latest news in Apple News Because of that, the actress and producer said she looks for stories to tell on the network that “touch the heart and have more purpose to them than just the magic of Christmas or the Santa Claus of Christmas.” Despite any past backlash over her remarks, Cameron Bure said she has always stayed true to her goal with Great American Family — which means putting love and God first. “It’s always been the spirit of all the movies that I’ve produced. God loves all of us, and so that’s the spirit in which I make everything,” she concluded.

Philadelphia's Joel Embiid scored 31 points and pulled down 12 rebounds in his return after missing seven games to spark the 76ers on Sunday in a 108-100 NBA victory at Chicago. Embiid had been sidelined by a left knee injury and personal reasons since a November 20 loss to Memphis, the Sixers going 4-3 in his absence. The 30-year-old Cameroonian-born big man, who wore a left knee brace, also added four assists and two blocked shots in 33 minutes in only his fifth game of the season. "He caught fire there," 76ers coach Nick Nurse said of Embiid. "Certainly he gave us a lot of confidence." Philadelphia guard Tyrese Maxey contributed his first career NBA triple-double with 25 points and career highs of 14 assists and 11 rebounds. "It was good," Maxey said. "The offense flowed really well. Pick and roll was really good. I was able to get everybody involved, get Joel going and get myself going too." "He turned on the jets and got to the rim at some pretty opportune times," Nurse said of Maxey. Embiid was a welcome court presence for the 76ers. "He creates so much space for us on the floor, gets the attention," said Maxey. "I didn't see one pick and roll double team for the first time in a long time." Zach LaVine led the Bulls with 30 points. At New York, Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 34 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead the Bucks over the Brooklyn Nets 118-113. Damian Lillard added 15 points and 11 assists while reserve Bobby Portis contributed 23 points and Gary Trent Jr. scored 20 off the Milwaukee bench. Germany's Dennis Schroder led the Nets with 34 points. js/mlm

Kelce’s house was burglarised in October when he was away playing for his team, the Kansas City Chiefs . According to ABC News, the Police Authorities investigating the case has confirmed that the expensive watch was found in Rhode Island, miles away from the scene of the crime. The Break-In at Kelce's Home On October 7th when Travis was away playing for his team against the New Orleans Saints, his house was broken into. Local authorities from the Leawood Police Department have refused to state the specifics of the investigation and have kept it all to themselves. The break-in was made when Kelce's house was deserted, causing great agony to the athlete and his family. Police may have suspects in Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce burglaries Patrick Mahomes' Home Targeted Just Days Before Remarkably, the break-in of Kelce's home only happened barely 48 hours after a similar crime at the home of his teammate, Patrick Mahomes. Also, on October 6, Mahomes's Belton, Missouri property was burglarized. In both instances, there was no trace of forced entry, and thieves probably used high-tech entry into the homes of these highly profiled athletes. According to investigators, the proximity of both incidents might be an indication that the crimes are connected in one way or another. Most importantly, it made people wonder if these were premeditated or opportunistic burglaries.

HOUSTON (AP) — Will Levis and the Tennessee Titans were far from perfect Sunday. But they did just enough to outlast the mistake-prone Houston Texans and get their first AFC South win of the season. Levis threw for 278 yards and his 70-yard touchdown pass to Chig Okonkwo put Tennessee on top in the fourth quarter and the Titans held on for the 32-27 victory. “The coolest thing about this game was just the way our team fought,” coach Brian Callahan said. “It was a back-and-forth game. Our guys did a good job of not flinching and keeping the blinders on. We’ve been in games like this before, and we haven’t been able to make a play, but this week, we made a play.” Okonkwo grabbed a short pass and rumbled for the touchdown to put the Titans (3-8) up 30-27 with 91⁄2 minutes remaining. Safety Eric Murray missed a tackle that would have stopped him near midfield. The Texans (7-5) had a chance to tie it with less than two minutes remaining, but Ka’imi Fairbairn’s 28-yard field-goal attempt sailed wide left. He fell to the ground after the miss before getting up and slamming his helmet on the field. Callahan held both hands in the air and smiled after watching the miss that allowed his team to win on a day it had three turnovers. The Texans forced a three-and-out, but couldn’t move the ball after that and Harold Landry sacked C.J. Stroud in the end zone for a safety to make it 32-27 and allow Tennessee to snap a two-game skid. Stroud threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns, but also threw two interceptions as the AFC South-leading Texans lost for the third time in four games. Stroud has thrown five interceptions combined in the past three games to give him more interceptions in 12 games this season (nine) than he had in 15 games as a rookie last season (five). “It’s no secret that I haven’t been playing well... I’ve got to be harder on myself,” he said. “I’m not going to hold my head down. I know I can be a great player, but I’ve got to make better plays.” Jimmie Ward had a 65-yard interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter and the Texans tied a franchise record with eight sacks. Danielle Hunter led the group with a season-high three sacks and Will Anderson Jr. added two in his return after missing two games with an ankle injury. But the offense sputtered for most of the game as Joe Mixon was held to 22 yards on 14 carries. “Just a disappointing loss for us,” coach DeMeco Ryans said. “We didn’t do anything well enough to win this game. Out of all the positives that we did have, there were way too many negatives.” It was Tennessee's first win of the season in a game that Levis both started and finished. The second-year player missed three games this year with a sprained AC joint in his throwing shoulder. “I’m really proud of Will,” Callahan said. “He’s done a lot of things to get himself back in the right place, mentally and physically. It was a really good performance.” Levis knows he can be better, but was happy to leave Houston with a victory in this difficult season. “It feels awesome,” he said. “A lot of people have been working really hard to get a win like this. I’m just happy for the organization, top down.” Tennessee extended the lead to 23-17 on a 51-yard field goal by Nick Folk with nine minutes left in the third. Stroud threw his second interception with about 90 seconds left in the third quarter but Ward’s touchdown came three plays later to put the Texans on top 24-23. The Titans fumbled a punt early in the fourth quarter and Houston recovered it. A 54-yard field goal by Fairbairn extended the lead to 27-23 with about 10 minutes to go. Dameon Pierce returned the opening kickoff 80 yards to get the Texans in the red zone. Houston cashed in on the next play when Stroud found rookie Cade Stover on a 19-yard pass for his first touchdown reception. The Titans trailed by four after a field goal by Folk when Nick Westbrook-Ikhine got in front of the defense and was wide open for a 38-yard TD catch that made it 10-7 late in the first quarter. Tennessee extended the lead to 17-7 when Tony Pollard ran 10 yards for a touchdown with about 11 minutes left in the second. Pollard finished with 119 yards and a touchdown. Nico Collins scored on a 5-yard reception with about six minutes left in the second. Levis levis lost a fumble with about 3 1/2 minutes left and the Texans added a 28-yard field goal to tie it at 17-17. Houston forced a punt after that, but rookie Jarvis Brownlee Jr. got his first career interception two plays later to give Tennessee the ball back. Folk’s 56-yard field goal, which tied his career long, put the Titans up 20-17 at halftime. The Titans were without cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, after he was placed on injured reserve with a quadriceps injury, and safety Amani Hooker, who was added to the injury report Sunday morning with an illness. Callahan said Hooker was vomiting “every time he stood up” Sunday. ... Houston S Jalen Pitre injured his shoulder in the second quarter and didn’t return. ...
