Recipe-of-the-month
Pasta Fagioli Soup
by Suzanne Marshall
Makes 9 quarts of soup:
3 tsp. oil
2 lbs. ground beef
2 cups carrots, slivered
1 ½ cups chopped onions
2 cups diced celery
2 large cans diced tomatoes
2 regular cans red kidney beans
2 regular cans white beans
88 oz beef broth
3 tsp. oregano
2 ½ tsp. pepper
5 tsp. fresh chopped parsley
1 ½ tsp. Tabasco sauce
48 oz spaghetti sauce (I use Hunts)
1 cup dry small pasta
Saute ground beef until it starts to brown. Add onions, carrots, celery and tomatoes and simmer for about 10 minutes. Drain and rise beans and add to the pot. Add beef stock, oregano, pepper, Tabasco, spaghetti sauce and pasta. Simmer until celery and carrots are tender, about 45 minutes.
Makes 9 quarts of soup. Cut it in half for about 5 quarts, or cut the recipe into quarters for a smaller family. I cut it in half and have enough for a couple of meals and some to give away, and some to freeze in containers for lunches.

I thought it would be fun to spotlight one family member each month in our newsletter. Hopefully this spotlight section will help us know a little more about each other than we previously knew. Say hello to ... ELIZABETH!

Eric is coming home in 5 1/2 months now! Yes, I'm going to tell you each month how long he has left, so stop wondering. He's busy and may be able to go to Uzbekistan later on in his deployment to train some of their men. The weather there is finally lightening up and getting cooler, only 90 degrees during the day. Fresno has nothing on Kuwait as far as the heat goes!
Caralee is half way through her semester at school and has planned her spring semester online and is very excited about it. She's trying to juggle her calling, the kid and her many home projects. Thanks to everyone for having us over for parties this month, it's been so much fun!
Lucas is walking finally, though he prefers to crawl still. He started on Eric's birthday to be exact, what a nice present. He spends most of his days moaning about his painful mouth (teething) and pulling on Caralee's leg so she'll pick him up. After 3 tries, he made it through a hour of playing in the gym's kids care section while Caralee worked out. Third time's the charm apparently. YEAH!

JEREMY is the best husband ever! He planned and coordinated the most elaborate 30th birthday celebration for his wife. The day was full of all her favorite things and he even took half the day off to do all her home/house duties. What a guy. What a great great guy.
JENNIFER had a blast working on the musical last month with the youth in our stake. She is sad and happy that it's all over. Suzanne did a great job directing everything and Elizabeth and John also did a great job doing all the things she asked. It was fabulous.
TREVOR finished out his cross country season. He improved his time with each race and felt like he could have kept running even when it was all over. Next he's on to try wrestling!
LOGAN earned Student of the Quarter for his class. He is a great student, always trying hard to please the teacher and do his best. He totally earned it! Logan is also doing great at soccer. He usually plays forward and scored his first goal this month!
LIZZIE is still enjoying her dance class. She is also learning her letters really well at Joy School each week. Her favorite part of the week is the weekend when everyone is home and there are tons of people to play with.
JACKSON has turned into our biting monster. He usually only bites adults. And he usually only does this when he is teasing and playing. Sadly, it does not feel like playing when you are the one that gets bit. He is forever our little ball of energy and we love him to pieces.

What is Love?
1 + 1 = 1
2 - 1 = 0
2 = 1
1 = 0
Love is a deadly curse but it is also a living blessing. If misused it will lead to the destruction of your friendly self and hurt those around you. Lock it up and wear the key so no one can steal it or give it to someone in minuscule pieces until the final "Will you marry me?". If that special someone hurts you take back all the love you gave them and keep it only to be seen by the one who truly cares for you and would kill them self if they ever hurt you. That certain someone could be waiting around the corner or right next to you. They will always be waiting even if you don't go and find them. Some say "love can't hurt." but it can. It can hurt more than guilt, hate, jealousy, pride, envy, and disappointment put together and thrown at your stomach. How? Love can be used as a poison to kill people you care for by making them jealous and they might think of you as a proud git. You might then feel disappointment because they aren't happy for and guilt because they hate you. Envy can be thrown in there too. If used in the right way and given the right amount, it can be wonderful.

What is your favorite color? Orange!
What are your hobbies these days? Walking for a couple of miles, outside in the cool, fresh morning air. I get to see the sun come up, marvel at the miracle of a new day, and to be by myself for a few minutes.
Do you have a childhood memory you'd like to share? One early morning this week as I walked by I heard a sound coming from the open window of a house. Someone was stirring something in a metal bowl. I could tell it was a metal bowl because the sound was a ting ting ting sound. This brought back a flood of memories of the breakfasts that dad would cook for us each morning. We didn't have cold cereal cause it was too expensive for a family of 10 so every morning Grampa Boggs would get up before seminary and start cooking breakfast. If we heard a glop glop glop stirring sound coming from the kitchen downstairs we would know we were having pancakes with dad's homemade syrup that day. If it was a tinny ting ting ting sound we knew dad was stirring up the eggs in the metal bowl and we were having french toast with gobs of melted butter and powdered sugar. If we smelled bacon we knew we were having eggs (the runny kind) and bacon and stacks of toast. If we didn't hear any sound we knew that we where in for it and would be eating the dreaded oatmeal.
Now, when I think back on it, I realize I took it for granted that my breakfasts would be ready and waiting for me. It would be a delicious homemade entree, steaming hot, and ready for me to gobble down before dashing out the door for seminary (to this day I still eat seminary style). Today, my own kids feel lucky if I even bother to cook them dinner a couple of times a week. How lucky we were to have such good breakfasts. How lucky we were to have such a good dad!
What is something on your bucket list? (A bucket list is a list of things you want to experience during your lifetime.) I want to look down into the mouth of a live volcano and see the steam and the red hot lava bubbling around.

Had my foot operated on to forget about my REAL surgery. Then I had my face operated on to forget about my foot. Got the last of the stitches out today. Still have butterflys on. No film at 11:00.
Suzanne's Church musical was a great success. She had over 160 kids in it. I sent a picture to Jennifer for you all to see. Liz and Jennifer were a great help. Next time there's a big production, I'm sure they will be tapped again. To commemorate the end of the show, Suzanne got a big cold. We just stopped by Elizabeth's and she has one too. Notice the trend?
I am still between assiginements. Still getting a paycheck so I suppose someday I will get to go do something. In the mean time I will be doing the lighting for the Christmas womens's concert so that should keep me out of trouble.
