New England Fish Chowder

This is a recipe from 1992. Good one to try. Jackie and I are on the phone as I type this out. She has been under the weather for the last couple of days. She will be up and on the blog very soon. I will be up north visiting my children and Mother. I hate flying and wished I made the decision to drive. There will be a lot of nervous moments if the weather is bad.
Here is the chowder recipe----
4 C water
1 pound of cod fillets or other white fish
2 T margarine
3 T shredded carrot
2 T diced celery
2 T minced fresh onions
2 T plus 1 t all purpose flour

My typing skills are very bad. I should of practiced more in class many many years ago. Thanks and have a good nights sleep. Later!
