What's for dinner tonight ?

Nothing better than family custom raised beef from our prairie provinces, quite simply the best.

The wife and I are seriously looking at fencing off 20 acres and buying a spring steer from one of the neighbours and custom feeding it for the summer. We are thinking of doing a couple at a time one for the kids as well. The Hutterites in our area will actually come down and pick them up live and take them to their shop and kill, hang and butcher them for you for not a bad fee. Buy some organic feed which in our area most of the farms that grow feed it’s not registered organic but they don’t spray their feed fields so it’s good feed. Raise some food I know what it is not some feed lot steroid infested meat.
 
Chowder - ling and prawn stock, ling, spring, crab, prawns- wanted clams but didn’t trust them now. Wet weather and some fresh crab and prawns inspired it. Was nice to have frozen stock on hand.
Laborious, but worth it!

Looks killer. I was going to collect some clams tomorrow is there reason to be concerned?
 
With the rainy cooler day today it kind of felt like a Fall day. Wife made a delicious beef stew with veggies from our garden and I made a strawberry rhubarb pie with berries from our garden, some other locally grown ones, and some rhubarb from my buddies garden.

An old school spaghetti and meat balls supper tonight. My Grandma was Spanish/Italian and moved to Argentina when she was a young women. This was pretty much how she made it although she also added some different cheeses to it as well. Always fresh herbs from the garden and home grown tomatoes. Still one of my favorites.

A little tomato love for something different for the thread. I can them with different herbs and spices and sun dry them as well. We use them in all kinds of different recipes throughout the year. We have five types growing this year in our hot houses. This year is a late year for ripening. Just starting to get some off the vines over the last couple days.

Out for din din with the wife for anniversary. She loved the strawberry rhubarb pie from last week so I made her another :) Daughters and their friends ended up devouring the other multi berry pie the other day. Has been such a bumper crop of berries this year so also made some jam's last night. Gonna do up some blackberry jam later this week as well.
