Hello,

I was just handed a clipping from today's paper by one of my co-workers (who are helping to "keep me on track") with a blurb about the upcoming LC Dinner at the Fish House on Thursday, February 6, 2003. The "theme" is winter comfort foods, and I must say, looks very inviting. I think I'll be discussing this with my DH to see if he wants to join me there.

TTFN,

Thanks for the intro Theresa! Here's the whole menu...

Hello!

I would love to finally make it out to a gathering, but I am in classes until 6pm. Does it start at a specific time?

Also, are we all sitting at tables together? I don't really have anyone to go to something like this with. Anyone else bachen' it?

Linnea

I've just called in my reservations. Mary is also coming to this one. The menu looks great! See you all there.

Colin

Excellent! The dinner is filling up quite nicely.



It starts at 7:00. I'll PM you Linnea. Do you want to sit with the rabid Vancouver LC'ers?

Karen

I've just called in our reservations as well. There'll be the two of us comine (although the one doesn't know about it yet!!).

See you there,

DANG IT!

I'll be on a plane to Edmonton while y'all are chowing down on Karen's fabulous cooking... I especially wanted to try the Hungarian Mushroom Soup.

Yup ... goin' to Edmonton. Sigh.

Hi everyone - I'm new here, but I've been LC'ing for 8 months & since reading about Karen in Western Living, I've been spending all my special occasions at the Fish House. What a great coincidence that my birthday happens to fall on that night. I hope to be there.

Karen, any chance of one of those dinners happening in Calgary??? Man, that sounds good!!
Is there someone of similar gifts out here?? Oh, Please...tell me yes!

I hope you will too! We'll put a birthday candle on your dessert!

Karen

Of course. Just find the venue to sponsor me!

I've taught a few times at the Cookbook Company. Maybe they would be interested, but there's something about those mountains. It's like an information barrier. Stuff doesn't seem to pass back and forth freely.

Karen

Karen...how would I go about finding that out? (about the venue)I would be happy to do it. Just let me try that mushroom soup!!

Contact Gail Norton at the Cookbook Company . You never know!

Karen

Karen,

I thought I'd schlep on over here & tell ya that I'll be there. We've come full circle, hey? The first LC extravaganza was Feb '02 and a year later it's still going strong.

Fab-o Ruth! You haven't missed one yet have you?

Wow, a year already. It's hard to believe. For the first dinner, I had to beg everyone I knew to come to the dinner, now it sells itself.

Ahh, the power of low-carb. Ain't it grand.

Karen
