Anyone else want to join us? You're more than welcome!

As I said before, I'll bring dessert! German's Chocolate Chesecake anyone?

*drool*

Karen, you're my hero!

Oh my gawd.....is all that I can say! Yummmmmmmm!!

Marlaine

sounds incredible!

Yummmmmmm!!! I can't believe I forgot to subscribe to this thread! Doing that RIGHT now!

Just bumping this to attact attention... only about 2 weeks away!

Now how to get to Vancouver for the 7th? Quit my job, raid the retirement account? Oh, the decisions.

I've invited Rachel, an old-timer and former moderator from the Forum. That makes it 9 if everyone is still confirmed.

Hi, BCers. I've sent the following message to 'globalbc.newstips~globaltv.ca'--maybe you'd consider lobbying them, too? Any thoughts on where else to get the campaign going (I've already posted on Karen's corner).
---------------------------
Hello.

Today (Oct. 30) on the noon news, Dr. Art Hister mentioned that he found the Atkins diet "boring", to which the newscaster replied that it's "Boring", to which Dr. H. replied that his son is sticking to the regime but finding it "boring."

Considering the popularity of the low-carb lifestyle, and the burgeoning research indicating its health benefits, perhaps you could consider bringing in someone like Chef Karen Barnaby, of the Fish House in Stanley Park--who is not only a wonderful "traditional" chef, but also a gem in the local low-carb community--to dispel this myth!

Karen has shared a number of brilliant and delicious low-carb recipes on "living la vida low carb" at
http://www.lowcarb.ca/low-carb-recipes.html, she frequently conducts low-carb cooking classes around Vancouver, and she is in the process of writing a low-carb cookbook. She is by all accounts warm, approachable, humourous and energetic. She has followed the Protein Power plan rather than Atkins, but is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of low-carbing as evidenced by "Karen's Corner" on the Active Low-Carbers' Forums, where she answers any and every question about nutrition, ingredients, and cooking procedures: http://forum.lowcarber.org/forumdisplay.php?f=20 . She also maintains her own web site at http://www.karenbarnaby.com/ .

Karen Barnaby would be an extremely valuable and sparkling addition to your news-hour lineup, and perhaps could even be persuaded to do her own cooking show! Judging by the size and enthusiasm of the B.C. low-carbing community, I think you would have a ready-made audience, which would grow rapidly as word spreads.

Please seriously consider the idea!

oooh.... jeanybabes, can I come too, now that I'm officially posting? *grin*

Of course you can come!!
