Hey All,

Where would you like to go for dinner this Sunday? Is anyone game for a big load of wings at Earls?

Karen

Have you tried the Cactus Club Wings?

Okay I am partial to Cactus Club - especially the one at Broadway and Granville - We can get one of their big booths and their dry ribs are excellent too! Plus they use diet coke instead of diet pepsi! Big Plus!!!

Would any of you dinner folks like me to pick up a few Ross Chocolates for you in Cloverdale? They have Milk Chocolate, Peanut, Almond, and Coconut (2.1-2.9 carbs per 35g bar) and Dark Chocolate (1Carb) they are $1.80 per bar - that includes tax. I am going on Saturday and would be happy to bring some for anyone to the dinner.

Kathy

Yes, please, on the Ross chocolates! I've heard so much about them I'm dying to try them. Also I can give some to my mom, who's diabetic (and eats chocolate anyway, naughty!).

Could you bring me 3 each of the milk chocolate, almond, coconut, and dark? That ought to last me for ages. If enough people want some, maybe you can get a bulk discount! Thanks so much for your offer.

As to where to meet, I'm not fussy . . . Wa'il mentioned Steffo's on Davie, which sounds yum too (and cheap). But I don't really mind where we go.

Rachel

Oh, I just thought of something. I've been to that Cactus Club and it's pretty noisy (though maybe a Sunday would be quieter). I have some hearing loss and it's really hard for me to follow a conversation in a clattery, music-y environment - and I really want to talk to you guys!

Wherever we choose, can we find somewhere on the quiet side?

Cactus, isn't that like hooters? I won't hear a thing, but the reason won't be the noise!

I liked Stepho's, and have no idea about Earl's, but suspect it will be great, since Karen picked it

And I never tried Ross bars, so please get one for me Kathy! I'll go for the milk or dark whichever's left on the shelves!

Thanks,

Wa'il

I don't think so - lots of young beautiful things, but they have no bodies!

K

But yeah it is noisy!

So - How many people are coming?

Kathy and friend so that is 2

Next . . .

This makes us 6 by my count!

Down Wa'il! Cactus Club is like the younger sibling of Earls. Not that Hoot-y at all!

I'm willing to go anywhere non-challenging--that is cheap and cheerful. Should we vote?

BTW, I taught my second-of-the-season low-carb class at Tools and Techniques in West Van tonight. There were 20 people there, and they went wild. I converted someone to liking eggplant and interested a few in the WOE. Hurray for our side!

Karen

Hehe, well the Cactus Club in Richmond seemed like one. Any time we go for a business lunch, no one talks business!

O.k., votes, I'll vote for Stepho's

Wa'il

I'd like to try Steffo's too. Partly 'cause it's close and I can walk there (burn off a few calories!) and partly 'cause I know the CClub is noisy. But I'm happy to go wherever the vote takes us.

And good on you for that low-carb cooking class, Karen! I'm dying to meet you! My ex-sister-in-law is a food critic, maybe we can get her to do a spot on low-carb? I'm not sure how that would work, but we can discuss it if you like.

Rachel

I'm drawn towards the Earls on Robson because they can better accomodate a large group and we probably will be seated quickly. We may have to wait a while outside at Stepho's. But if the groups votes Stepho's, then Stepho's it is!

I am really looking forward to meeting you too Rachel. Would your ex-SIL be Kasey Wilson?

Karen

My vote is Stepho's this Sunday and Earls in January - Maybe by March I will get you all to My Cactus Club!

Now on the Chocolate subject:

Rachel that is 12 bars which comes to $21.60 is that correct!

Thanks,

K

PS Who is the sixth person?

Kathy & my roommate Joan
Wa'il, Karen and Rachel who else?

That would be Deb. She joined us last time, and emailed me and Karen that she'll join us this time as well.

Wa'il

So it looks like Stepho's. I'll email Deb and give her the news. 6:00, yes?

Karen
