I can't make it the weekend of the 5th - 7th, and we'll be on the road probably from the 22nd or 23rd until the 12th or 13 of April. Spring show circuit -- my favourite time of year - NOT; leaving the blooming magnolias and fragrant air here to slog through blizzards in Alberta!

How about March 10 or 17?

Also, how about somewhere new? My Greek salad wasn't really Greek at all (too much lettuce!!!)

A friend of mine was telling me about the Olive Grove on W. Saanich Rd. - apparently they have a page of their menu devoted to celiac-friendly meals so some of them are probably LC friendly too! I don't know the place at all - they might be very expensive.

We have an Olive Grove? Interesting. Needs some research.

I'm good somewhere between the 8th and the 21st ...

I tried to open their menu but I couldn't -- it's not compatible with Firefox browser, but I couldn't see it with IE either!

Yes thanks, I saw that page but when I click on the menu button at the top, then on the link to the dinner menu, I'm told my browser doesn't support web archive files and I get a bunch of code. I was hoping to see the celiac-friendly page and get an idea of their prices.

OT - how are your plans coming along for a visit to Victoria in May?

I can only access their lunch menu and get something in double dutch for the dinner menu.

I'm booking my flight at the end of this month. Dates unchanged as far as it stands.

Ladies, .MHT is exported from good ol' Windows Office, usually seen in home made webpages...


Go here for a 'safe' way to see such pages in FF:

See y'all soon, I hope!

I think you mentioned the 10th or the 17? Either one suits me just fine. Everyone else? And yeah, I'm game to give Olive Grove a try.
