My Family's Flanagan Stew
3 huge black kettles in the yard & 3 wooden paddles
a slew of chopped chickens
everything you can carry from the garden
a bunch of hot sauce
On a nice Sunday morning, you get Uncle Ben to fire up the kettles with firewood. You put in the chopped chicken to boil for a while. You can add a little hot sauce to one, a bunch of hot sauce to another and no hot sauce to the third.
When the family starts to arrive with all kinds of garden fresh veggies, you instruct them to distribute in the kettles. Then the grand uncles continue to stir the pots with big wooden paddles. Never mind what else falls into the pots. It will all taste good in the end.
