Leftover Beef Pot Pie

You have heard me sing the virtues of Rib Eye Roast before and call it a poor man’s filet mignon.  I recently purchased a fine 3 LB specimen for about $13 and ended up with three meals!  First I roasted the beef and added baked potato and spinach for a very nice Saturday dinner.  I always slice the entire roast as thinly as I possibly can about 20 minutes after bringing it out from the oven, so it was child’s play to make sandwiches on long rolls, with mayo and horseradish sauce, for my fishing trip to LI Sound on Sunday.
We hit Bridgeport harbor at half past pretty early and launched my 13 foot Whaler from a public ramp at the end of a street in the closed up industrial area.   April 1 was opening day for Winter Flounder and Blackfish (Tautog) in Connecticut, and there were reports of Bunker in the harbor which means Strippers.  It turned out very cold, windy, and cloudy, and as the day passed, it got colder, windier, and cloudier. Short report is no bunker, no flounder, no blackfish, one starfish inside an oyster shell, and it started raining hard just as we recovered the boat, oh well.
