2 or 3 Bay leaves & 2 or 3 Garlic cloves (to be removed from kettle when Booyah is done)
Boil chicken until meat falls off the bone, (several hours) , then remove chicken from kettle & take meat off the bones & cut up the meat into small chunks.
put the Chicken chunks back into the broth and add
4 large carrots chopped
4 to 5 potatoes chopped
1 stalk of celery chopped
you can also add a small bag of frozen veggetables.
bring this back to a boil then lower heat to simmer for 3 to 4 hours.
at this point it is ready to eat
(I like to add egg noodles) just turn heat off add 2 handfulls of egg noodles & let sit for 30 minutes.
Then Enjoy!!!
Gallettes
2 cups (500 ML) flour
2 Tablespoons (30 ML) sugar
1 Tablespoon (15 ML) baking powder
1 teaaspoon (5ML) salt
1 3/4 cups(440 ML) milk
1/3 cup (85ml) vegetable oil
2 eggs
Combine flour,sugar,baking powder and salt.
Stir together milk,oil and eggs.
gradually add milk mixture to the dry ingredients.

Put waffles in large bowl and set aside.
in a small pan warm milk,maybe 1 or 2 cups
add sugar & cinnamon to taste.
pour over the waffles & cover with a small plate & plce something heavy on the plate,
so the waffles absorb the warm milk.

Richard's Thoughts
Richard would like to share his poem intitled Longueville (this is the town where most of our Families originated) which is posted on his blog site http://fammeree.blogspot.com/
Please visit Richards blogsite as well as ours, the only difference being the double M's.
Longueville
Conspicuous as a sonnet, I pass through shadows. I do not know their names and I decide not to count. There are so many going up the hill and back, alongside the vein of meadowsweet and loam. They are a forest. They are a frost. I am their field. Each ancestor rising one summer higher in a line, planted along the rutted road which is now a footpath for fewer and fewer.It is a Roman lane. Their tomb is a moundsprouting yew and laurel, the belly of a Goddess pregnant for at least two thousand years. They return to recall as do their descendants, my ancestors. One day, my daughter will come here and tell this story to her grandchildren, and they will sit within my shade and shiver with mysteries as she, three months old today, looks upmy tall, deciduous body into leaves.* Longueville is a medieval French, now Belgian, village founded by the Romans, inhabited by my family since at least the early eighteenth century.c Fammerée 2008* * * * *

(What I now like to refer to as), "The Responders"
{this is the section where Relatives have emailed me with news or information about themselves or their immediate family members.}
(I have high hopes that this section will be pretty large one day). I so LOVED receiving emails from Cecile Rigot and Joseph Fameree this past month & Sylvie Rigot & Kathy Ducat in February, in which they shared a little bit about themselves & their immediate families. Any one that would like to share just send me an email at jmfm123@yahoo.com or Richard Fammeree at fammeree@att.net & we will make sure it is included in the very next Virtual Reunion email!!!
1st one is Cecil Rigot from Brussels Belgium.
Hello dear family, Here you can find the birthday of my father
Jean Rigot 24/06/1928 (almost 80)
My sister Françoise Rigot 20/04/1958,
and me Cécile Rigot 11/09/1961.
With love Cécile
I responded to Cecile with my email below
Hello Cecile, I'm so glad you responded, I thank you so much. If you would like to send me an email in "French" telling us a little bit about yourself that would be GREAT! I can always translate through the Internet or Richard is French Speaking (he can help).
I would love to hear more about my Belgian relatives...
(what do you do for a living?,do you have any Children?,what do you do for fun?,... I'm sad I didn't get to meet more of the relatives when I was in Belgium last May.
I will have to visit again. Take good care & thanks again for writing!
Sincerely, Jeanne
Cecile wrote back with..
Hello Jean. I'm 46 years old. I'm living with my friend José Perez (48) and from time to time with his son Ruy Perez (16). We have an appartement in Brussel.
I'm policeofficer, singer. José is journalist, writer, poete.
I'm the daughter of Jean and Annie Rigot, cousin of Simon, Sylvie, Jean-Charles and Jerome Rigot. For fun, my best practice is singing, always singing, alone or with my guitar or with Simon when it's possible, with Richard one time, i loved....
For the rest, it's the common life of everybody, you know. Unfortunaly, I don't have children. I received your nice pictures, and next time I wil send pictures of my family.
Best regards Cécile
Then we have a response from Joseph Fameree from Schaltin, Belgium
Dear Mis Fameree. my grandfather is Joseph FAMEREE (farmer) died in 1944- married with Elvire HASTIRCountry: CONDROZ in BELGIUM (B-5364 SCHALTIN) not far from Opprebais : 60 Kms.Three sons:My father GEORGES FAMEREE et uncle MARCEL FAMEREE- AIME FAMEREEMy father died in 1971 ( 64 years old) married with HELENE RINGLET.My name is JOSEPH FAMEREE (59 years ) Agricultural governement, married with ANTOINE ANNE-MARIE.We have three children.BENEDICTE- Ingenieur to BRUXELLES, CECILE to MONTREAL, PIERREThere is an other Joseph FAMEREE , Professeur - Théologie of Catholic University of LOUVAIN-LA-NEUVECongratulations, JOSEPH FAMEREE,RUE DE FRISEE, 165364 SCHALTIN
My reply to Joseph was,
I'm so glad you responded, I will attach a picture of me, for you & I will include you in my future family mailings.
I'm not sure where the relation comes from, but I think we are related, I think it is the (Father of your Grandfather, Joseph) will probably be Marie Francoie,Aubain Joseph, Victoire Joseph,Ferdinand Joseph or Eugene Joseph. Do you know what your Great Grand Father's name is?
I copied Frederic Fammeree who lives in Hamme-Mille in hopes he can help to figure this out.
Thank you again & we will keep in touch.
Sincerely,
Jeanne Fameree
Joseph replied to me,
Hello Jeanne Fameree,Thank you for your beautifull picture.I would like to know my great father's name.I will send you adresses of other Fameree families of the country in few daysBest regards
Joseph FAMEREE
I am not certain where the relation with Joseph is???,I think his great Grandfather may be the Brother to Jean Babtiste & Constant. Frederic Fammeree in Belgium has many resources available to him & I beleive he will help us to find the connection...
I also had several lovely conversations this past Saturday with, Jane Hafeman (Daughter of Orville Fameree- who is the Son of Ernest Fameree- who is the Son of Frank Fameree- who is the Son of Honore Fameree- Son of Jean Babtiste.
I also spoke with Ethel Heier, (Daughter of Ernest) the rest is the same as Jane.
And I spoke with Michelle Arendt-Asplund, Michelle's Grandmother is Ethel's Sister.
Ethel has been researching diligently on our Family Heritage for a great many years & I look forward to having conversations with her going forward.
Please Note: Don't forget to send a little summary of who you are, what your hobbies and interests are, what is or was your profession and maybe a Family photo, listing who is who.
Also, if there is someone in our relation that hasn't made our email list please forward the email addresses to me so I can include them.
Emails can be sent in French, Richard can help me to translate or I can utilize a translation service from the internet.
Snail Mail Version to Share...
I have attached a "word document" version of this letter, for anyone who wishes to print out a hard copy & send or hand deliver to our relatives without a computer or access to internet.
I send a copy to My Dad & Gale Fameree every Month & I think they like it...
(I just sent all back issues to Ethel Heier & she should have good reading for days!!!)
