As you can see here, there is a lot of room for input. If you have any suggestions for side items for the turkey dinner, brunch or grill night, please let us know. A special note on GF stuff. We are too large of a group to have EVERYTHING be GF, but the gluten-free people will not be deprived! The main dishes will all be GF and any sides that are not GF will be clearly marked. We will have GF bread, muffins, pecan tassies, cheese crackers, pies, and cakes.

More to come from the food committee on: stuff you can bring ahead to ease the (enormous) shopping trip, how funding the food will be handled (a suggestion subject to everyone's approval, of course), and a sign-up sheet for kitchen duty.
