(Serves 20 people)
2 lbs. baby peeled carrots
3 large onions
6 large sticks celery
1 large purple top turnip
5 lbs. Maine potatoes (support local business)
2 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes
2 15.25 oz cans whole kernel corn
½ head fresh garlic
1 qt. canned string beans
4 lbs. stew beef
Cut stew meat into 1/2” cubes, brown meat in a large heavy kettle with 1 cup olive oil.
Cut veggies into small pieces. Use juice from canned veggies plus 3 cups water. Add all to browned meat. For seasoning, add 3 tsp. salt, 4 bay leaves, 2 T parsley flakes, 1 T sweet basil, 2 T oregano, 1 T chives, 1 tsp celery seed, 2 tsp dill seeds,3 good shakes of Tabasco pepper sauce.
Add raw veggies first and then add canned veggies after pot has come to a boil. Turn heat down after boils again and then cook very slowly for two hours, stirring often. A large heavy stainless steel kettle works best. Love of cooking and love of the people you are cooking for helps to make the soup the best.

Carroll’s Birthday Squash From Aunt Viola Miller
Take 1 birthday squash that has been given to you by your grandmother. (She has to have picked it out months earlier and written your name on it with her hairpin.)
Cut squash in half. Do not cut through the name and, for heaven’s sake, do not peel it. Scoop out seeds. Save the seeds.
Stuff with meatloaf mixture and bake at 350° till done.
Don’t wreck it because there is only one.
