Personal Notes:
This has always been at the Lutschkin Christmas table since I became a member
of this family. It came from Auntie Alice (Joan's sister) who lived in Bermuda, which is Jay's birthplace.
It was usually Dad in the kitchen as he did most of the cooking. I tried to find the one picture I have of them both in the kitchen as it was a rarity.
