This started out in 2009 as a year-long series of answers to an age-old question. At the end of that year, I thought I'd finished, but then in 2011, when we explored North America in an RV, like the proverbial cat, it came back. Since then, it's arisen occasionally. Just as it was back at the start, though I'm glad to share recipes, What's fer supper isn't a cooking blog. It's all about eating. Enjoy.

Something crabby
Anyone who’s read this blog a few times knows I hate throwing out food – that I just about always seem to find some way to use whatever didn’t get eaten during a previous night’s meal. Tonight’s no different, only I’ll admit I had trouble coming up with what to call our supper-in-a-bowl.
After a bit of research, I’m still not much clearer as to what it is we’re eating tonight. Calling it a bisque isn’t really correct, because let me say it right off: I did not grind last night's crab shells with a mortar and pestle.
From what I can tell, it’s probably not really a chowder either. Whatever it is, we’re eating it and not surprisingly, it tastes pretty darn good.
A few garden potatoes went into the pot, as well as a fair bit of parsley and chives picked from out back.
Along with the soup/bisque/chowder, there’s a green salad topped up with the crabmeat we couldn’t quite finish last night.
Once again, aside from the bread (it’s the flour that makes it so difficult – wheat really doesn’t like to grow here), we’re dining within the bounds of the 100-mile diet, including a few of those tidbits that qualify as part of our 100-foot diet.
