Personal Notes:
This one popped up in a Sistas' FaceTime session...I knew Janet had another one in her! He makes this chowda for a large gathering, so if you have a smaller guest list, cut recipe in half (of course leftovers are always good). If you don't like all the butter and cream, substitute for that skinny stuff.
