Cooking instruction summary:

1. Steam clams: Place 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup white wine in deep skillet and bring to a simmer. Add clams, cover and cook over medium high heat until the shells are open (discard any that don't open). Cool and remove clam meat and keep in refrigerator until ready to use.2. Cook bacon until done in a Dutch oven or other heavy deep pot. Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Set aside until ready to use (I usually pop it in the fridge and take it out an hour or so before serving the soup).3. Cook the shallots in the pan with the bacon drippings over medium heat until soft, about five minutes. Add clam juice, remaining wine and potatoes. Simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. 4. Add canned clams and Old Bay and simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Add cream and simmer for another 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cool for about 10-15 minutes.5. If you like your soup a little bit chunky, scoop about about a cup of the solids, then puree the rest with an immersion blender or in your food processor (and if you like it smooth, puree the whole thing!). Return the solids to the soup and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Put the bowls you are serving it in into the fridge as well.6. When ready to serve, stir in the clams from the shells, ladle soup into the chilled bowls, garnish with bacon and parsley and another grinding of fresh pepper and serve at once!

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
