Itty, you know the way to my heart - chicken wings - I'm gonna really really try to make it - are you guys gonna do this next Friday as well?

Vikki

Sorry folks,
I have been asked to teach a class on Friday late afternoons, so I am unable to make it for this time around.
Have a fabulous time, and I'm sorry I can't join you.

Glassgirl

Glassgirl, we'll all rise a rib to you...!

Vikki, very exciting that you'll try to be there!

So it sounds like:

Eddie
Emma
Michele-67
Sam
Vikki (?)
Mary

are coming tonight! (Weather Permitting!) Anyone else who feels like stopping by, you know what Eddie looks like (and what he's driving...!). Besides, we'll be the table under all those bones!

I don't know about next Friday, being Valentine's weekend and all...
Maybe everyone can keep February 20 and 27 in mind (Fridays)...

BTW, if there are silent readers out there who would like to come but can't make it on Fridays, please post and make other suggestions!

See you soon!

Mary

Sorry guys - stuck at work and am not able to make it tonight - I am drowning under a sea of paperwork - so much for the early fridays!

Definitely meet next time though!

Sorry about your paperwork... You know, a match will clear that up right away...

Mary

See you all later! You all know what i look like (look at my sig :P except i'm not 2inches tall hahahaha)... When you see me, let me know who you are

RECAP 4:30 at firkins near yonge and bloor right?

the weather seems to be okay this afternoon... good there's no more storm... just a drizzle... going to be driving my honda civic (mom's benz doesn't have snowtires and it's RWD... more used to FWD cars in winter)... i'll probably park near chapter's or on that outdoor lot near firkins

yes, a match can easily clear up paperwork! the excuse "my dog ate my paperwork" works everytime too even if you don't have a dog

Yep, 430 ish at the Quail...

Mary

While the match (and the wings & salad with you peeps) sounds very tempting - I would just have to start it all again on Monday

This has to be the worst day of the year (except i have just tried an Atkins Endulge milk choc bar and they are great!) and so much for the bad weather that made everyone stay home today!!!!! If I can get to Toronto from Burlington, they can manage a subway ride here - grrrrrrrr.

Anyway, hope you all have fun!

Hi everyone - let me know when the next meeting will be - I definately can't make it tonight. BTW (okay, I'm anal) - you may want to tell the pub the Yonge is spelt wrong on their map

Have a great time, and post everything on Monday!

Vikk

Well, talk about a quick post...

I just got home from my Friday adventures, and we had a blast!

Sam, Mary, Eddie and Michele were there and I certainly learned a ton more than I thought! Good wings, good salad, good Sleeman Clear lo-carb beer, yum!

Careful everyone, we may have to have the next meeting in Michele's kitchen! Eddie's trying to convince her to open a restaurant ASAP!

I look forward to doing it all again!

Thanks!

Mary

That was a lot of fun! Nice to meet you three!

Mary: big big difference between your before & after results! my DANDR book looks mint compared to yours! haha... i'm not reading it enough... GOOD ON YA FOR ORGANISING THIS MEET! YUM!

Michele: holy moley you're a walking lowcarb recipe book! what patience you have to try all those recipes out... YES YOU SHOULD OPEN UP A LOWCARB EATERY!

Sam: i really really really really really envy your height! goodluck inducting! "chicharon + suka" (tagalog for "pork rinds + vinegar) mmm mmm

Many many topics discussed tonight over GREAT wings! I ordered 2lbs of wings (1lb medium + 1lb spicy) plus garden salad with ranch (probably 25carbs max because of the sauce)... cheapo too! 4.95 for lb!

Felt pretty guilty downing 2lbs of wings so i went straight to the YMCA

Hope to have another meet soon! Come on all to the next meet!

eddie(",)

I had a great time meeting all of you last night.

Michelle - the cheese chips are a godsend! (But next time I will use parchment paper instead of wax paper - what a mess I made!)

Mary - Seeing your before pics and your after 'live-action shot' is my new inspiration.

Eddie - I'm heading to the gym to pump some iron for the first time in MONTHS tomorrow....wish me luck. (If you have any tips on how to get started, PLEASE get back to me.)

Looking forward to the next time...
Sam

Good to meet everyone...

We have to meet again!

Any lo-carb friendly places you know of in the beach, Vikki?

Il Fornello is very hi carb downtown, so I expect it is the same there.

Mary

Hi Itty - there is a pub called Feathers in the beach - they have wonderful stilton burgers with salad (no bun of course) http://home.primus.ca/~eastleaf/mainmenu.html
