This is our last Low-Carb Dinner before our break for Summer

Karen - the menu looks wonderful!!

I hope you will continue the low carb dinners in the fall. I am on induction (3 1/2 weeks) and doing really well and want to stay at this level for a bit. I still feel like I am decreasing my sweet tooth and feel like if I went to a restaurant now I would go all astray. Maybe it is an unrational thought but in the past eating out has been a big problem for me. As I get better at this low carb way of life I think I will gradually become more confident with making choices when I am out.

I WILL plan to go there in the fall - actually my birthday is in Sept so if you start them up then that would be a great way to celebrate my 42nd! My hubbie and I went to dinner at your restaurant last year in Oct or Nov (not a low carb dinner) and loved it.

If there is a get together of Vancouver people sometime in the near future I would love to go and meet all of you!

Karen,

Was just looking up the date in my palm - June 3rd is a Tues and the 5th is Thursday - I think you usually have them on a Thursday.

Just wanted to make sure that confusion was minimized. Don't want people to get all stressed out over a Zen dinner!

Sally

I think we'll be going to this one, too! I think we Forum people should all sit together and/or wear name tags, so we can mingle!

Thanks for pointing that out Indigogirl. The GM emailed it to me and I posted it without checking it over. I'll find out the correct the date at work tomorrow.

The next dinner will probably be at the end of September. If you're at a LC dinner, you can't get into trouble because everything is LC!

Karen

I really wish i could come to these - they sound wonderful!!! $60 is a lot for a student budget. Hopefully you will still be holding them when i am gainfully employed
PS - Karen i saw your face on the side of a bus the other day!! It was very cool

I fully intend to keep on with them...forever!


Thanks faerie! I still haven't seen it yet. I think I may hang out in a heavy bus zone this week so I can get a picture of it!

Karen

Drat! I'll be in Vancouver the week before... I'll just miss it. And sushi is my favourite. *sob*

Ah well.... maybe September....

Have fun, all you lucky people who get to sample Karen's superb creations!

Is it the usual Thursday (5th) or Tuesday this time (3rd)? I'm poised to book the day off just to come to this dinner, if I can...

Waiting with bated breath on the Island...

That's tooooooo funny!!! I just saw it today too! (Going down Broadway from Granville to Commercial.)

Lookin' good Karen!

It IS on Tuesday. I'll change the first post to reflect that. And you know what's cool? We have 41 reservations so far!

Karen

putali : bummer you can't make it this time! Hopefully the next one in the fall.

Rikke : any chance you can go this time?

Karen : Sheesh, I'm waiting for DBF to confirm that he can come.... hmm, maybe I'll reserve anyway, just in case. Cos I will go anyway... Any thoughts on a communal table for Forum people who are interested in that?

Call it the lowcarb.ca table and if anyone is interested in group seating, ask for it when you make a reservation.

Karen

I've already made a reservation for 2 (before knowing for sure if DBF can make it) so I'll call back and ask for the table... Thanks, Karen!

OK, turns out DBF can't make it for the dinner. Anyone wanna be my "date" that night? Hehehe... Seriously, I'll go alone if need be, especially if there is a communal table - way fun!
