Tomato Bisque With Crab Butter
Call me crazy, but my idea of a romantic evening involves sitting on the back porch with a huge amount of king crab legs spread out on newspaper, lots of butter, a bottle of wine and the sun setting! Well, that’s just what we did last night. You know the knuckle part at the crab that holds all the claws together? I save that part and clean it the next day to turn into another meal.

Almost every Friday from January to April my Hubby offers lunch to his staff. This time of year they are so busy… and as often as I can I make it for them.

I used spinach to finish it off this time because that’s what I had, but you can use escarole for a little crunch. You can also add chicken and tomatoes if you don’t want to use ham. I seriously recommend giving this soup a try… Oh, by the way it’s always better the next day.

After taking the dog for a walk in the crisp cool autumn air I sat down and browsed through my recipes trying to decide which one would be on the menu today…what says Fall better than an Old Fashioned Pot Roast? I remember my Mom-Mom used to make one – she cooked it for so long that the beef became tough but the gravy was so delicious…I’ve tweaked her original recipe just a bit over the years; adding more flavor, cooking the beef to tender perfection and still enjoying the delicious gravy!
