Dinner is a good idea - my evenings are pretty open.

Julie

PS - I know what you mean about getting up at 5, Jude!!!!

Ladies?

I'm still figuring things out. I am SWAMPED with work and it's everybody's birthday this month. (including mine) so I'm just overtired and frustrated right now.

Too much on Stephy's plate! *bah!*

Well, most of next week for me just got completely written off..... things that were cancelled at work are suddenly UNcancelled. AAARRGGGGG

Lunch/dinner after that would be good.

If you can all settle on a date the rest of you can do, go for it without me.

Sigh, Julie

PS nice to see you, even for a minute this week Jude!

Steph, I can't make you a birthday LC muffin if we don't meet! (and don't you just LOVE that Paolo Nutini? Who'da thought he'd have a dense Scots accent?!)

Ditto, Julie! We're just shifting into full bore startup, so yesterday may have been my LAST chance for a daylight meet for the forseeable! Ok, definitely for January

But an evening thingie, SOMEWHERE soon, would be SO nice...

PS: when we get cranked up (and since I, yes, MOI, am doing the menu ), you can count on a low carb option of some kind being on the menu. Specially as we get to know our customer base and I start adding some interesting side dishes...

This weekend (the 12th & 13th) are out for me, as is next weekend (the 19th/20th). During the week for a late lunch (not Tuesdays or Wednesdays) or sometime after the 20th still look doable - latish lunch is preferable - I don't like driving after dark, especially if it's raining (older eyes, ya know!! )

Stephy, Happy Birthday - does that make you a fellow-Cappy? I just had a birthday too - I don't mind remembering them, I just don't want to count them anymore. They tell me that pretty soon I'm due to start bragging about how many I've had - hmmmm .... not yet!!

Glenda

I am SUCH a huge fan...and I just received his CD from Amazon.ca...SOOOO fabulous! I have a crush.

OK....I would probably be able to make a Sunday night supper downtown somewhere...(Cactus Club? Red Robin?)..Anytime after 5:30pm....

Glenda, for evening stuff, I can make sure you get home...day stuff is completely out for me for at least January.


And Happy Birthday, hope you got to golf ALL DAY!

Thanks Jude! I just might take you up on that offer!! Depends where we decide to go - Red Robin I could probably do blind-folded and it's quite close to home - assuming the one by Mayfair?? By the way - I have printouts of a couple of Karen's columns from the Van.Sun for you - I'll bring them along.

And no - no golf that day ... I forget why not but it probably poured rain - treated myself to a carby but delicious mulligatawny at the Cedar Hill Clubhouse restaurant - ooh, yum - a filling meal more than an appetizer/soup course!! Absolutely decadent and worth every carb!!!! They use pineapple instead of apple, and lots of coconut milk as well as cream and just enough curry (I assume a scratch mix of basic + some less than basic spices, and hmmmm.... I wonder if they have a source for fresh curry leaves or if they settle for bay leaves?)(+ rice and other no-nos, but ...) Sometimes, ya just gotta go with the taste buds and "devil take the hindmost" - whatever that means!

Glenda

Happy birthdays to Stephie and Glenda!!!

Hope you had great birthdays.

I've given up on having them myself - after last year when I completely ignored it (I turned 40) I figured out I really LIKED ignoring them.... Other people were NOT pleased with me for ignoring "that day" but I really figured that it was my choice.....

Hope to see you all very soon, Julie

Mine isn't until the 31st of January...but I have to psych myself up for it!!!

(And I'm ALWAYS up for a Red Robin lettuce-wrap burger!)

Devil Take The Hindmost...

Hmmmmm, I've always thought it a combination (sort of) of:

• don't let the devil bite you in the a** on your way out
• move forward quickly and leap on an opportunity for it may never come again
• last in, first out!

Aloha! Back from Maui - had a wonderful time! I'm a January birthday too - New Years day.

I can do a dinner any dates but 19, 16, 29, 30 & 31. Red Robin sounds good to me.

Janet

OK, everybody...How about Wednesday, January 23rd at Red Robin? (Mayfair) Would 5:30pm suit everyone?

I'm in!! Glenda

Jude, that's so close to home I won't even need to be "nursemaided" (as long as it's not snowing!!)!
