Here’s another dish most of us have never thought of as breakfast — very different from Tropical Breakfast Sorbet, but just as inviting — Breakfast Corn Chowder with Poached Eggs. It’s like bacon, eggs, and hash browns with an extra touch of creamy warmth. This hearty dish is just the thing to set you up for a day of cross-country skiing or hiking in the Vermont woods that it comes from. The Rabbit Hill Inn in Lower Waterford, VT, is the perfect place for a getaway from the phone, Internet, and TV (though the first two are available if you need them).
