Keep Clam!

When family come out to visit, for some reason they all want to go to Ivar’s. Could it be the ideal and scenic location on the north end of Lake Union? No. It’s the clam chowder in the sourdough bread bowl. Two separate visits from my sis’ family and my parents, two separate trips to Ivar’s Seafood Bar, two orders of  this Ivar’s specialty.

1150 calories, and 3100 mg of sodium goodness, right there! Oh yah! You betcha!

Sigh. Guess I’ll just have the Shrimp Caesar:

Only, it’s missing something … what could it be … Oh, that’s right. Deep-fried anything! Chomp chomp. Yay lettuce.
