I'm wondering if anyone out there in Ottawa and surrounding areas would be interested in getting together for some low-carb munchies the first week of December! Let me know...Natrushka and I are keen!!!

Lisa

Can it be on a weekend? I'm 1.5 hour drive from Ottawa but I'd love to come and meet the Ottawa *group*.

We'll have to see who's interested and when they are available. I would also prefer a weekend!

Lisa

Hi guys. I moved this to the Canada forum and entered my vote as well

I am free the first weekend in December (1st and 2nd) but everything after that is booked with xmas parties and family functions

Any ideas on restaurants? Obviously something LC friendly

Nat

Personally, I like a good steakhouse (big steak, very rare, hold the potato, extra veggies please!) but I'm totally open to suggestions. I've had decent meals at Montana's.

Lisa

The December 1-2 weekend is great for me too -- LC, do you prefer lunch or dinner? I know you have a longish drive so maybe its best if you decide. Nat/LC - where do you like to eat?

Lisa

I like to eat everywhere... in the kitchen. the dining room.... Seriously, anything is fine. Steakhouse sounds good. Something not downtown might be a good idea for those driving in. Brunchish is a good idea too.

Nat

Lisa - My preference is mid dayish meal - especially if we all hit it off and want to walk the malls after. Otherwise, I'll have to make up an excuse why I have to leave early LOL!

But if the choice is dinner - I'm cool on that too - driving at night is OK with me.

Nat - have you been to Le Bifteque (out by Ikea)? - I've heard everything from awesome to so-so... I must confess since LC'ing I've not eaten out much unless its one of my few cheat nights. Sounds like we should all hop a plane to BC and go for Greek with the rest of 'em!

Why don't we at least agree on meeting for lunch! After that, Nat and I can settle on a restaurant.

Lisa

P.S. Word of caution - unless you are EXTREMELY brave or a true lover of the whole Christmas shopping experience, I would suggest avoiding a mall in December!

Been to Le Bifteque, it was quite good. was pre LC days though They had the most awsome croutons. Must have been soaked in butter for days. Ikea is right there, and the Home Sense store, it's not a mall, but they do accept Visa

Late lunch sounds grand.

Nat

Count me in too, guys!!! The first weekend in December sounds great. I'm 1 and 1/4 hours away, and would prefer the lunch thang if it could work.

If I recall correctly, doesn't Le Biftheque have an amazing salad bar?...I know the one in Montreal does...and if memory serves me right there was an amazing block of crumbly cheddar cheese on it....MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm.

Actually, anywhere will be perfect...looking forward!

Yayyyy Muse!

Alright - let's Bifteque then! Its also convenient for out of towners since its right off the Queensway. I have a personal preference for Sunday ... say around 1 p.m.?

Nat or I can send you each a PM with instructions on how to get there closer to the actual date...might help to know which way you'd be coming into town. Now, do you prefer "girl" instructions (i.e. turn left after the cute yellow house with the cool mailbox) or "boy" instructions (East on the highway for 10 minutes, exit at Androgen Street)?

Lisa

*lmao* I'm going to go out on a limb and say Muse prefers "boy" directions. I know I would.

N

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHHAAAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!!! .....whatever!!!!!!!!


....we'll have a blast no matter how we get there! ...and hey, we'll all be skinnier by then!!! YAY!

Muse

Hi,

I think I would like to come too! I know where the resto is so can someone confirm time and date?

Thanks
