Corn and clam chowder. Had amazing corn on the cob. Equal parts butter and bacon grease. Food process celery, carrot, onion, garlic and bacon bits. Add to pot. Cook until just soft. Add chicken stock. Bring to high simmer. I didn't have any milk but I used a can of evaporated milk. Add corn and cannoli beans, half of which food processed to help thicken soup. Bring to a boil, reduce heat. Add clams with juice. Cook until desired thickness. Serve with bacon bits and sherry.

Getting burnt out on what to make for dinner. Canned biscuits from Aldi's and a jar of sauce; mini pizzas. Peter suggested I use the leftover fajita beef. Separate the biscuits into two pieces. Pre-cook the bottom layer a few minutes, add beef, pepper, tomato, sauce and mozz. Top with another layer of biscuit and bake. One can I got plenty so the guys have this for lunch today, along with carrots and homemade pickles.

Fajitas. Ground beef, leftover baked beans that I rinsed off and sauteed zucchini. I always try to add something to the ground beef to make it stretch. Taco seasoning of course. Freshly shredded colby jack cheese. And I always have tortillas in the house.

Peter brought home lobsters. Fresh corn on the cob and tomato, cucumber, garlic, yellow pepper and radish salad. The lobsters were extremely small and had very little meat in them so that was disappointing but what little there was, tasted yummy.

Large pot of spaghetti sauce made from the tomatoes from our garden. And yes I make it that thick that the spoon will stand upright. I will be canning them. When I go to use the jar of sauce, I will thin it out with some stock or wine and that makes it stretch even further.

London broil marinated in the salad juice and garlic powder, salad and corn on the cob. ShopRite has London broils $4.99/lb and corn on the cob 10/$2. I got a very large one which I diced up so I can make steak sandwiches for Peter and Mark for the week. I have to say it's been a long time since I went into a grocery store other than Aldi's and I was so shocked by the pricing, absolutely insane.

Pork cutlets, baked beans and salad. Somehow the rest of the pictures got deleted. I had 4 boneless pork chops that I cut in half and pound it out. Coated them with the usual flour, cornstarch, baking powder, parm cheese and seasoning. Baked beans I add mustard, ketchup, maple syrup and brown sugar.
