Sounds like a road trip Buffy and Speckled hen. Here are the directions, get on I 95 and go south until you don't see any snow then go about one state more south, turn left at Rocky Mount, NC and head east. If you drive your car into the ocean you have gone to far, turn around and back track about an hour. Just ask for the crazy people that live if the woods with the birds. Make sure you mention the birds! If you just ask for the crazy people that live in the woods you will probably never been seen again..... it is North Carolina after all.

The menu

Home grown Midget White turkey (since we will be having company feathers removed)

Scalloped oysters
Cheese Bisquits
Green bean casserole
Sweet potatoes
Corn bread stuffing
Cranberry sauce
Giblet gravy
Apple and Pumkin pie
Nice light and fruity white wine

Oysters on the 1/2 shell as a warm up to go with the steamers that Buffy is bringing

Oh Steve, I was so busy ignoring you that I forgot to order the oysters and little necks.

I'm hurt..... on 2nd thought when you ask for directions just ask for the crazy people.

We give the same directions when people come to see us! We say, if you go too far east or west, your tires will be wet. (The Cape is only about 2 miles wide where we are.)

Steve, I'm also bringing fresh picked cranberries, some chocolate covered blueberries, and smoked bluefish pate' (like it or not!).

Why am I not surprised by this? And why are you involving the rest of your family members in a category only you have perfected.
