    I have another recipe by the same title, and it is slightly different.
    I wonder which one is the real deal?

    Other than your version cuts the brownies smaller there's not much
    to choose from. Mine was the New York Times version. So, I went looking
    on the internet machine and foun d this:

    https://www.pbs.org/food/stories/katharine-hepburn-brownie-recipe

    Which tells a lot and supports the Times version being the aithentic -
    as if that's a big deal.

    The more I learn of Kate the more I realise she was my type of broad.
    And probably too smart to have anything to do with me. Bv)=

    I especially like her in one of her last movies, True Grit. Opposite

    Thanks, this was a fun read!

    Did you mean Rooster Cogburn?

    One of my favorite westerns was Calamity Jane (1953).

    Title: Legal Sea Foods Clam Chowder
    Categories: Seafood, Soups
    Yield: 8 Servings

    4 qt Littleneck clams (1-2/3 cup
    - cooked); chopped
    1 cl Garlic; chopped
    1 c Water
    2 oz Salt pork; finely chopped
    2 c Onions; chopped
    3 tb Flour
    1 1/2 lb Potatoes; peeled, diced into
    - 1/2" cubes
    4 1/2 c Clam broth
    3 c Fish Stock
    2 c Light cream
    Oyster crackers (optional)

    Clean the clams and place them in a large pot along with the garlic
    and water. Steam the clams just until opened, about 6 to 10 minutes,
    depending upon their size. Drain and shell the clams, reserving the
    broth. Mince the clam flesh, and set aside. Filter the clam broth
    either through coffee filters or cheesecloth and set aside. In a
    large, heavy pot slowly render the salt pork. Remove the cracklings
    and set them aside. Slowly cook the onions in the fat for about 6
    minutes, stirring frequently, or until cooked through but not
    browned. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the
    reserved clam broth and fish stock, and whisk to remove any flour
    lumps. Bring the liquid to a boil, add the potatoes, lower the heat,
    and simmer until the potatoes are cooked through, about 15 minutes.
    Stir in the reserved clams, salt-pork cracklings, and light cream.
    Heat the chowder until it is the temperature you prefer. Serve in
    large soup bowls with oyster crackers on the side.
