[Parker]

Amber- Thats too bad,,,gonna have to break your famlies heart,,tell them that I am making maple squash pie and they might understand....PRIORITES

[HobbitMannor]

Maple squash pie...that sounds interesting, I had not thought of that one.

[tuckermtn]

I can verify that Parkers' maple squash pie is worth the drive from just about anywhere...

won in a taste test with my wife's strawberry rhubarb pie at the last Maplehaulics meeting...

[KenWP]

I like squash pie now have to add maple to it. I grow squash just to make pie around here.

[Amber Gold]

Parker, you won't hear any complaints out of me if we don't go...

I can verify those pies were d*mn good.

[Parker]

All right,,looks like we will have a pretty good crowd,,Steve is comming back from Maine with lobsters,,if you want one he says $3.50 a pound and they weight about a pound and a quarter to a pound and a half,,so figure $5 each? let me know if your interested so he knows how many to bring,,,will have a gas grill a wood grill and a smoker, (and the big finisher for the lobsters :),,,,Parker

I can see you guys all gathered around a evaporator sipping nice warm maple syrup saying things like Hello My name is Parker and I am a Mapleholic. It's been 3 months since I last tapped a tree or boiled sap and I almost had a slip and started the evaporator this morning.

[Parker]

Got the beans cooking-pies in the oven-lots of food in the fridge-still many last minute details-GAME ON

[tuckermtn]

Parker- thanks for hosting the maplehaulics meeting this afternoon...great food and good conversation...if you had your woodshed all full we would not have had a place to hide from the rain.

Looks like everybody had a good time. Wish I could've made it. I'll make sure I don't miss the next one.

[KenWP]

Checked out the pictures and you guys all look like a bunch of Shriners. I thought I saw beer being sipped. That means some of you guys are cured from Maple right.

[3rdgen.maple]

I think you guys need to rename yourselves the redneck maplehaulics :D what is the deal with the orange floaties? Gotta say them lobsta's looked darn good. Hope all had fun.
