Hi Dave, I extended my Thanksgiving weekend break by another couple of days. Hence I could not get on-line earlier. The boys and their spouses left Bay-area late on Sunday. They really had a good time at the Thanksgiving gathering at my brother's place. Everyone loved the mashed potatoes and the corn bread with unique recipe baked by Kloumpios. All of them were a real sport, and enjoyed the turkey baked with Indian touch. Of course I had to be extra vigilant about their Akvavit consumption. The rain may have spoiled their sight-seeing experience, but I hope they had a good time.

Kloumpios is a very good cook so that will help out too. But, I don't know if 5lbs of spuds are going to be enough!
