It will be ready for occupation by classes in September, NIL OZER OF LAZY 'MEADOWS By Harry J. Boyle We butchered last week. Between Higgins and myself we managed to make a. pretty good, job of..reducing. it to enough beef to last for the rest of the winter' for both families. \There's something that's almost satisfying in having the larder well stocked. May- be it's a feeling of security. Yesterday when I came in the house there was a wonderful aroma in the kitchen. It had a touch of savory and sage and beef and I was most curious. It turned out to be pot of old sash,. ioned soup with stewing beef and plenty of vegetables and spices, The family used !up the whole pot of it. Thinking about it takes me back to the time when mother would have soup. It, came every Wednesday as regular as clockwork and by the time she had it ready for the table it Was more like a beef stew than a soup. ' Abotit the only thing she 'bought at the Store for it was "pot barley" and spices This combination added' variety and tasti- ness to it. On a cold night- when you came back from school, if she were in good humor and not too busy with other work, rut had a pretty_ good chance for a bowl of it. 'The apProPa0h was to first take a squint into the big 'kettle on the back of the stove. Then you would say, "Maw, kin I have a 'sand- rich Or sonfethini?" You never got a response the 'first' firrie. Your next tactic was to start 'rummaging in the pantry. This was something she Couldn't 'stand. "You can't eat 'how", slit 'WOuld ex- claim, 'shooing 'you out of thd' pantry, "it "will just spoil your" Supper", The next move was to sit 'down and try and look' hungry, Finally, she would shove the kettle on to the front of the stove where it wolud soon start chuck- ling and bubbling, You ' were then ladled out a bowl of the marvellous soup 'and told not to spill any on the table. .No chef in the finest eating place in the world 'could have Possibly Concoct- ed a better soup than that. Rich beef broth, carrots and potatoes and a vari- ety of vegetables' along with sage and salt and pepper and the everPresent pot barley made up the contents. It was a meal in itself but always it -Mts. regard- ed by mother as, merely 9..."starter" for a reatmeal. I almost forgot one of the' Most famous of the ingredients. Onions had to be put in the soup because in those days onions were regarded as -a supremely healthful food. They were used to ward off everything from chiliblains to pneumonia. I certainly did enjoy that bowl of "beef" soup the other night.
