Hi all,

It was great to see you all last night at RR. Let's not wait too long until we do it again.

We talked about a Saturday lunch at Ma Millers.

Who has dates they are not available?

Hi fellow BC peeps! I'm in Maple Ridge, but I'd love to come to the island one of these days to meet some of you, maybe this summer?

I have a fast question, I've noticed that you go to Red Robin. We have one in town, but I've never been. Do they have some decent low-carb menu choices?

Lots of good burger selections (and they wrapped ours in lettuce for us last night, no problem). I had the Guac Bacon, pretty darn good and very messy

Dry Ribs with a side of mayo!

Come on down!

My pensive Queen.....LOL!


I only suggested Ma Millers because Jude commented she'd like to meet Bruno.

Be forewarned, it's a total dive...typical run-down Pub. Don't feel obligated you guys!

Come on over any time!!!

I had a bleu cheese burget at RR last night (wrapped in lettuce) which was, again messy, but really good.

PS I used to live in Maple Ridge near Extra Foods many years ago....

Extra Foods is on strike right now, they have been since mid-December. I really miss it, Save On and Safeway are SO expensive, and the Superstore's a bit of a hike. (Extra employees haven't had a contract since '04, I hope they don't close the store!)

That's too bad Sherry- it was the cheapest (yellow) food around! Hope it all works out.

I wish myself and my lady could make it down from Kelowna. When we move to Vancouver you better believe we'll be hitting up the Victoria gatherings.

Hi Ed! Glad you joined in.

I like Kelowna - was there for Regatta a few years ago and did some wine tours. I stayed in an awesome B&B with a wine theme as well.

You and your lady are always welcome at our table.

Julie

Any and all of you would be more than welcome! We try to meet once a month for either supper or lunch and if we hear someone from out of town is going to be here, we do our best to manage a meal while they're here! Just let us know a couple of weeks ahead if you can.

I grew up in Surrey and we used to do most of our shopping in Cloverdale and Langley. I also used to roller-skate in Langley every week, back in the dark ages when they still had a roller rink!
