Here is the recipe, as sent to Dan last night.
No, it doesn't literally take all day (or all night), but it does take
more than an instant. :-)

This is another Southern tradition it seems.  According to the January
1991 issue of _Southern Living_, "Since the turn of the century, Brunswick
County, Virginia, and Brunswick, Georgia, have firmly stood their ground,
spoons and forks drawn in battle. . ..Since Georgia and Virginia threw
their pots into the ring years ago, Brunswick County, North Carolina,
occasionally added fuel to the fire. . ..

This recipe is from Virginia:

1 (3 pound) broiler-fryer
2 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small onion, quartered
7 cups water, divided
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen baby lima beans
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen whole kernel corn
1 cup chopped onion
2 (28 ounce) cans whole tomatoes, undrained and chopped
1 (8 ounce) can whole tomatoes, undrained and chopped
3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 tablespoon salt
1 to 1 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 to 1 teaspoon red pepper [paprika can be substituted]
10 saltine crackers, crumbled

Combine broiler-fryer, celery, onion, and 5 cups water in a large Dutch
oven or stock pot; bring to a boil.  Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1
hour.  Remove chicken, celery, and onion from broth, reserving broth in
Dutch oven; discard celery and onion.  Cool chicken; skin, bone, and
coarsely chop meat.

Add chicken, lima beans, and remaining ingredients, except saltines, to
broth; bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, about 4 1/2
hours or until desired consistency, stirring often.  Add remaining water
as needed.  Add cracker crumbs, and cook an additional 15 minutes.  Yield:
3 1/2 quarts.   [I like it thick, so usually don't add the extra water.]

I hope you'll try it.  It really is delicious.

A 'present' from me as well.... Three days before Christmas a 6 year old boy
was abducted, sexually assaulted and murdered - his body was found dumped in
a parking lot in Sydney. A 32 year old caucasian man has been arrested and is
being held in protective custody until his third court appearance next month -
he was apprehended on Christmas Eve and appeared at court again today.

Is that the "No atheists in foxholes" truism?
Reminds me of the morning Allan took me to the hospital
to have our first baby. The nurse kept asking me all these
questions, when all I wanted was to lie down and let
somebody else be in charge and maybe take a trank. When
she asked my religion, I replied, as I always do, "None."

Several days later Allan told me he was *very* surprised
that I had not opted for religion, since I was definitely
"under fire".

You're right; "lucky" was a bad choice of words.  What I meant was, life's
a tradeoff; women have made a lot of gains over the past few decades; the
ability to take chances is one of them, as Paglia says.  Catcalls are bad,
but IMHO it's a small price to pay for everything attractive women now
have access to in modern society.

Don, you hit it right on the head, and said what I intended a lot better
than I did.  Like I tried to say before, attractive women will get bugged
in public, but all they need to do is keep their head on their shoulders
and they'll, in all likelihood, have a highly successful and happy life. 
Unfortunately, less attractive women, while not having to deal with the
catcalls as often, will find themselves locked out of so much in life that
they deserve to experience just as much as the others.

Witchcraft and it was full of all sorts of questions about, as he put it,
"[my] what should I call it, faith?"  I may simply send him this file,

   regional and sectional mail centers are 'more efficient'....which is
why you get 'towns' on postmarks like 'north suburban' IL....they couldn't
agree on WHICH suburb to put on it, so they put none....cinda's letters
from moscow id are all postmarked spokane wa, which is 90 miles away....

>of shuffling mail away to another town for a postmark?  What was the postmark

   actually it appeared they forgot to postmark it and it just had an
obliterator bar over the stamp, and that badly done too.

  there are only two ways of being sure to get a 'local' postmark
from a small town.  one is to go in and ask to have them cancel it.
some won't wanna do that....but by regulation they have to...though
some don't know that.....usually quoting the regulation (which i know
but can't remember at the moment) will do it.   the other is to put the
outgoing mail in the 'local mail only' slot instead of the general mail
slot, in case they distinguish.  then they will put the local postmark
on ti before figuring out that it is NOT local mail....and sending it
on to the sectional center, usually to get a SECCOND postmark over the
first....

   ohwelll......as you can see, neithr of those sure ways is even very
sure.....
