Scallop Chowder and a Mother's Day Gift

My daughter's boyfriend loves scallops.  He is a chef and works incredibly long hours so I like to make him food for when he gets home.  The last thing he wants to do is cook for himself.  I made him this scallop chowder on Sunday.

And what a surprise he gave me!  He made me a charcuterie board.  And when I say he made it...I mean he made all of the jerky, sausages and cured the meats himself.  What a treat!  It's so fun to have a chef in the family!  I've always wanted to learn to make charcuterie so maybe one of these days he can teach me.
