Last night was the French onion soup and tonight is cream of broccoli soup. There is a lot of CSA veg to use.
Had my smoker out this weekend, for maybe the last smoke of the season. 
Smoked a rack of St. Louis ribs, a pork picnic and some ABT's (natch) with most of my garden mini-peppers that were left. Oh, and a pound of bacon, but I forgot to take a picture of that.
The chicherones from a bit of the pork rind were done in the oven.

Spaghetti.
I used Barilla spaghetti and Classico marinara sauce.
Made enough to have for leftovers for work tomorrow and Thursday.
Since I had cinnamon toast with the omelet this morning at the diner, I figured I'd hold back and not do garlic bread with it or make a salad.
I am trying to watch what I eat lately.
The scales say 172 lol
I like to be around 160-165.

Finally got around to using that crab !
Maryland Crab Soup
Is there a recipe or something you put together from ingredients on hand?
It's a standard recipe with a few changes;
Maryland Crab Soup
3 carrots, peeled and chopped (I used three cups sliced baby carrots)
1 medium boiling potato, peeled and cubed (I used two cups small red potatoes, halved or quartered, depending on size)
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and chopped
1 stalk celery, trimmed and chopped ( I also used the celery leaves, chopped)
1⁄2 lb. green beans, trimmed into 1" pieces (Left them out)
1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears) (Left them out)
1⁄2 cup fresh or frozen peas (used two cups, to help make up for the left-out veggies)
4 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce (1/4 cup plus another dash or two)
2 tbsp. Old Bay Seasoning (more or less
)
1 1⁄2 tbsp. dry mustard
Pinch red pepper flakes ( more or less
)
1 28-oz. can whole peeled plum tomatoes (I used two 15-oz. cans)
1 lb. jumbo lump crabmeat
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1. Combine carrots, potatoes, onions, celery, green beans, corn, peas, Worcestershire
sauce, Old Bay, mustard, red pepper flakes, and 6 cups water in a large pot. (I used four cups Emeril's Vegetable Broth and two cups water)
Add tomatoes, crushing them in your hand, and juice from can. Bring to a boil over medium-high
heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes.
2. Add crabmeat to soup and simmer 45 minutes more, stirring often. (Thirty minutes was enough)
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
The first time I made it, I followed the recipe pretty closely.... You can see a pic of that in the soups Thread.

Last night was broccoli cheddar soup and a turkey, lettuce, tomato and cream cheese wrap in whole wheat tortilla.
Tonight I may reheat some spaghetti from the other day.

My mom would pan fry leftover pasta. Just a small amount of EVOO add pasta and let it get brown and crispy flip and repeat. It was so good. Sometimes she would add sliced meatballs or sausage if she had them. Add grated cheese before the flip if you like.
Daughter decided no cooking got Popeyes's for dinner.
I recall you talking about that Peeps.
Thanks!
I reheated it in a covered pyrex dish in the oven, with a little more sauce and parm added.

I miss Midwest church suppers.
Tonight is pancakes and leftover KFC.
Tonight is pancakes and leftover KFC.
They're going on just about everywhere around here right now.
I went and got our dinners, then brought them back to my friends Brenda and Larry's house.
That was the plan for tonight's dinner (and playing Scrabble) like we always do.
Had to wait about 20 minutes in the line and really wanted to check out the country store, not so much for the baked goods, but for the crafts.
I can always go back and do that tomorrow.
Brenda ate all of hers, Larry picked (he's not so well right now) I ate some of my chicken, dressing, noodles and a bit of the cranberry sauce.
Leftovers for tomorrow. It's a lot of food!

Pot roast was requested here so that's what I did.
I missed the Greek church dinner and that's about the only one I know of.
