Most food has been purchased and dropped over at Sisters place. She's
doing the cooking this year, along with the brother in law. I'm not
worried, both are excellent cooks.

Sides I'm planning on bringing over, grilled baby Calabaza squash (aka
Mexican Zucchini) and Insalata Caprice with fresh herb infused Balsamic
vinegar...

I also will supply Olives and baby kosher dills.

Yesterday I dropped off white corn on the cob, yams, red skinned
potatoes, oysters (for Chas's Oyster dressing) and the turkey is still
here (23 lbs.) as I have more refrigerator space for the brining Chas
wants to do.
