We're off to a great start; thinking about the 18th or 19th, probably the 19th will work better for most, it's a Tuesday, but I'm guessing

If the food and company is anywhere near as good as it was at our gathering yesterday (actually our first ever potluck/BBQ), well, we are some of the luckiest people around.

Looking forward to the next incarnation!

Any weeknight between the 11th and the 28th suits me!

Looking forward to it!

hi, everybody, that was sure fun last night and I'd be glad to have you over again if I'm in town. Will get back to the thread on dates.

I sure enjoyed last night, but I feel a twinge of guilt when I think of Anny (and her DH) being left with the clean-up! IF we do it again, maybe we should think about paper plates and serving platters, or bringing our own serving dishes (as Jude did for that wonderful salad!)?

And when Jude recounted the menu, she forgot to mention the lovingly hand-picked logan berries in the dessert!

OK - back on topic. So far, most weekdays in August seem to be clear, so the 19th works for me too! It would be lovely if we could arrange something while TamiK is in town from the Yukon!

Banish any guilt twinges, Glenda! You all chipped in more than enough. Real plates are easy to toss in the dishwasher and it's fun getting my DH to clean up the cooking mess.

It was great meeting you, Stephanie! (I sure learned a lot from the fount of information!) Also tried your 3-minute chocolate cake last night with some Island Farms LC chocolate ice cream. MMMM!!! (too lazy to toast nuts too )

PS Jude your cutting sheet is still here.

Welcome, Carolyn! Ladies, meet Carolyn, she and I have reconnected officially (and more frequently) now that I'm working (albeit temporarily) on the same floor in the same building...

This is going to be GREAT, in August!

Now to get Lauren back on board, what a GROUP!

I just wanted to let you guys know that Thrifty's has their "La Bona Vita" SF-Vanilla syrup on sale for $3.99/per 375 ml. bottle.
(It's where the coffee is)

I plan on using it as pancake syrup.

You might want to try the E.D.Smith Sugarfree Pancake Syrup, too (not the Butter flavour, it's higher carbs). Any grocery store, in the pancake syrups section, nice and thick...good mild maple-y flavour.

I have a bottle of that too!
I was going to mix the two together to bring the carb count down...I just need to get it together and make those pancakes....

Of course now I'm back on induction...so it'll all have to wait until I break this stall. Been trying really hard with my calorie intake.

Default How did you know?

How did you know that breakfast is my favourite low-carb meal of the day? Talk about enticing me back into the fold! I can hardly wait to make fake french toast again! For dinner. I'm not quite ready to give up my fibre shake for breakfast yet, although I'm halving the banana now. On the lookout for berries instead. And can easily convince myself to cut down or cut out the milk for water, like I used to do.

thanks Jude!
