It is simple to make and will feed an army: 1 lg. fryer, cut up 1-cup flour 1-cup vegetable oil 1-cup diced onions 1 qt. water ½ cup each green onions Salt and pepper to taste Dredge chicken pieces in seasoned flour. (Mama used to do this in a paper bag). Fry chicken in oil until brown, but not necessarily done. Drain on absorbent towels. Sauté onions in remaining oil until fairly clear. Carefully pour excess oil out of frying pan. Pour in water. Add fried chicken pieces. Add green onions & parsley. Cook on medium heat for about 35-45 minutes. Adjust seasonings. Serve with rice. Mama used to use this same recipe to make Fricassee du Lapin (rabbit), which was equally as good!

  • The Parish Assembly and Its Delegates in the Loudunais and Acadia, 1650–1755
    The Parish Assembly and Its Delegates in the Loudunais and Acadia, 1650–1755 Gregory M. W. Kennedy Université de Moncton Most historians of western France conclude that rural community political life there was weak; they cite limited collective agriculture and communal property, and an outdated parish assembly that lacked regular meetings, wide participation, or written records. 1 In contrast, many historians of Acadia, a French colony that was ceded to Great Britain and called "Nova Scotia" after 1713, claim that rural community political life there, led by elected deputies, was unusually active and egalitarian. They maintain, moreover, that this was "a crucial step in the continued evolution of a distinct Acadian identity," perhaps even a "commitment to a democratic society."2 They further argue that these characteristics emerged from the need of the new British regime and the Acadian population to establish relations after 1713.3 Taken together, these conclusions contrast a new and dynamic colonial political culture with an older one in the home country that had become stale and subordinated to the 1 See Annie Antoine, Fiefs et villages du Bas-Maine au XVIIIe siècle (Mayenne: Éditions Régionales de l'Ouest, 1994), 41; Jean Gallet, Seigneurs et paysans en France, 1600–1793 (Rennes: Éditions Ouest-France, 1999), 68. 2 N.
