Well, we had 30 family members.... My mom and 29 from my wife's side!!

needless to say she comes from a BIG family! They are all wonderful and we had a great time! We cooked three turkeys and smoked a fourth. Everyone went home with a doggie bag of turkey dinner with desert!

So much to absorb here.

1. It sounds like your side of the family s under-represented. We would be happy to be "adoptees for a day" to help balance the load.

2. If this is the Gretchen I expect, she's unbeatable, however

3. Chef Elmer made a "Kentucky High Pie" at the Red Hill Inn years ago that was unbeatable. I don't see any Pecan Pie (the basis of KHP) in your spread.

Maybe the Welch Island folks should get together on July 4 and have an American Pie bacchanal? (We could have hot dogs too)

LOL!!

#1. Yes, my side was very under represented! Unfortunately my brother and his family live in South Carolina and were unable to attend.

#2. If this Gretchen you know lives in Gilford, my guess is yes it is one and the same! We will definitely be getting more of her goodies in the future without a doubt. She has a web site here...http://www.gilfordgourmet.com/

#3. "Kentucky High Pie" sounds like something Cheech and Chong would like!

...and Yes!, there actually were two different kinds of Pecan Pie. One was a Pecan Bourbon Ginger and the other was a plain old Pecan. Both were excellent!!

I had to look up what "bacchanal" meant...consider me in!!!

Thanks for the laugh!
