I had lots of different leftover containers in the frig & decided to see if I could get another meal from most of them. The easiest is to make a stew or soup. I combined the tomato & onion soup to English peas, shredded carrots from my veggie bin; I diced up a New York strip steak, added 1/4 cup catsup, 1/2 cup water & sprinkled some bacon bits to add a bit more flavor. All this I heated in a large sauce pan for thirty minutes. Serve with cornbread or garlic toast.
While I was whipping up some lunch Mr. Cowboy was dealing with our wild hog issue.
Exhibit A & B
These two were caught in our hog trap & weren't happy one bit. Cowboy had to load them in the trailer to haul them off to a local guy who, I don't even want to know what he does with them. If you are unfamiliar with the damage these critters can do, they root up fields, yards, crops, etc. They carry disease and are extremely dangerous to people & pets. Mr. Cowboy has caught a dozen these past few weeks but that hasn't even scraped the surface.
Enough about that. I hope you all have a great & safe Memorial Day weekend.

I had no idea there were that many wild hogs.
I hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend also.
The stew looks delicious! I guess I didn't even realize there were wild hogs any more. How interesting that Cowboy designed a trap for them and has caught so many. Best of luck with that problem.
Those wild hogs really do a lot of damage.
The stew sounds yummy.
Oh my but that stew looks yummy!!! Glad you have a protector to keep you away from those hogs! Have a beautiful Memorial Day. Hugs, Marie
