New Deadliest Catch Season - it is "what's for dinn-ah!"

Ingredients
2 large tomatoes cut in half - allow to get to room temp if you have in fridge. This is low carb friendly...

1- 1 1/2 C crabmeat fresh
1/2 cup almonds
1 C monterey jack cheese - shredded (I love pepper jack)
1/2 c leeks or shallots
1/2 c fresh parsley
1 clove garlic smashed
1/2t oregano (dried) 1T fresh
1/2t basil (dried) 5 large leaves - fresh chopped
1/4C capers (optional)

HOW:
Half and core tomatoes coat with olive oil

Roll the tomato cut side down in almonds
Put on cookie sheet

Combine:

The rest of the ingredients and mix well (gently) place on top of tomatoes and bake for 15 minutes until bubbling. Save a little grated jack (or if you like some parmesan) cheese for the top and if you want to get fancy, just put a little on the top 3 minutes before done and flick on the broiler. But watch closely, you don't want it to burn!!

Garnish with paprika or cayenne - tabasco (if you dare!)

I am famous for this CORN CHOWDER

Since this is about corn, generic canned corn is okay, but I really love green giant - the corn is in great shape in the can and not in pieces and it is really sweet. I have even added crabmeat to this recipe (right at the end) and it makes for a good twist.

Salt Port - diced
Shallots or Leaks
Garlic
White Wine
White Maine Potatoes - WITH skins - washed and diced

Tarragon
Thyme
Salt and Pepper
Franks Red Hot or Tabasco

1 Can Corn w/ juice
(pay the extra 20 cents and buy Green Giant or Delmonte)
1 Can Creamed Corn (ditto from above)

1 C 1/2 and 1/2
1/2 C milk
1 Can Evaporated Milk

Slowly brown salt pork, shallots/leaks and garlic.

Stir in potatoes, tarragon & thyme

Add wine and bring to a slow boil. Add corn(s) and stir. Reduce heat allow to cool for a minute or two.

Add 1/2 & 1/2
Add evaporated milk, milk
Bring up to temp- DO NOT BOIL!
Add red hot to taste - not meant to overpower, just meant to season.
