Okay, now you're just poking FUN at me, right? After all:

Since I have 3 copies of the DADR/DANDR alone, each with different page numbers and sometimes recipes, and I CAN'T seem to make out the date format you're using... what is that, metric???!!!



ps: of course I found it...I just have been collecting various versions from around the word, around the net, eyeballing them with a view to removing any soy/gluten/nuts/fancy-stuff-only-available-online and STILL keeping them molten. It's trickier than I thought!

Jude, why would make you think our sweet Glenda is poking fun at you?

<innocent>

Julie

Well my copy of DADR hasn't seen the light of day for at least 30 years and I don't have a clue what box it's packed in - all I know is that I still have it SOMEWHERE! And yes, those are the copyright dates in my copy of DANDR ... I wouldn't try to mess with your mind Jude! Trust Me!!! (I can't believe we don't have an "innocent/angelic" smilie on here!!)

We'll have to ask the mods for a new smilie.....

<still innocent>

Julie

PS Glenda, did John agree to not wear jeans to dinner?

So, do we have any prospective dates for this extravaganza?

Julie

Funny, I was JUST thinking the very same thing this afternoon, wondering when and if we would get some dates.

I have to say, though, between my mum's houseraising, an impending dogsitting (starts just before ...) Randy leaving town for 10 days (as of the 22nd), March is going to be looking better for me. Truly, MUCH to my dismay!

ps: I've been messing with Protein Powder Donut Holes, and have turned them into little puffy doodads that make a nice breakfast, and no dairy in them. Eggs, butter (or your fave oil), whey protein powder, vanilla -- oooooh, think I better make them in chocolate next! With or without deep frying...

I'm bad, aren't I?

March is probably better for me too. Lots going on for me this month..... I can go any night except Wednesday (dance class).

Oh and BTW....

You are going to have to STOP messing with these recipes Jude! You are FORCING me to actually cook things with multiple steps. How could you!?!?!?!?!?

Julie

It's my personal mission to add much-needed variety to your diet (said pompously).

Jude, don't you DARE stop messing with recipes - cooking is good exercise for Julie!!!!

I still have to sit down and actually study our spring show schedule to check dates but I will shortly - I PROMISE! I think March might be marginally better for me too but I might be stuck with the first part of most weeks rather than close to weekends - will double-check to be sure and let you know very soon!

Julie, I haven't actually gotten John to agree to no jeans, but if I lay out his slacks, he just might be willing to change - especially for something called a "fish & chop house"! This is assuming other DHs & SOs will be there - he doesn't react well to being the only man and the only one who doesn't want to talk recipes (that's what he thinks we do at lunch)!!!!

Glenda

<sticks out tongue and blows loud low carb raspberry> j/k

Julie

So Glenda, are you saying I need to exercise more? You guys are brutal!!!! <tongue firmly planted in cheek>

I mentioned this to Brian but he hasn't agreed yet. He's not into a hen party either.... He still thinks LC is weird! I know someone else who would probably come though - my ex who does LC (most of the time). Although going stag would be fine with me too.

If John thinks we talk only recipes at lunch, let's let him keep that illusion! ROFLOL

Julie

Illusions, shmillusions!

I say we tell them we talk dirty and/or NasCar! Yep, my dear Randy is mildly antisocial as well. Usually have to drag him kicking and screaming out to dinner once a year or so, though. We could put them all on one side of the table and then take pics! Bwaaaa haaaaaa haaaaa!

You are a cruel and heartless woman Jude! Maybe why I like ya so much.....you are just like me.

Let's just tell the guys we talk about THEM!
