I think next time I might just stick to the double-crabcake platter, still a ton of food but manageable.

Had a nice lunch of leftovers the next day

See you all at the table in January!

And you were able to get up and walk? mg_smile

[dwippies]

actually chris, having eaten several meals with kevin i was worried about him. he usually eats much better than that. i asked him if he was feeling ok.

do you remember his 6 desserts in ac?

I do! LOL

[kevin d]

I'm a tough legend to live up to! Tonight is my company Christmas party, and they are expecting me to put on an eating show as well. It's a wonder I'm not 400 pounds!

It's a sad commentary when people are concerned about you when you only eat enough for 6 people and not for 12

We're gonna do this Gunnings dinner again within the next few weeks or so, so please chime in (or PM) if you wanna grab a seat at the table!

[kevin d]

OK - we're gonna do this again in January, as part of our monthly gunnings club. Date will either be Saturday Jan 13 or Jan 20, time appx 6 PM. If anyone has any interest please post or PM with preferred date, otherwise Sherry and I will just pick a date...

Happy holidays to all!

At this point, Jan 13 works better for us.
Cathy and the gang

[kevin d]

Well OK, let's shoot for Saturday Jan 13th at 6 PM. That gives us all a couple of weeks to do some training, so we can all clean our plates! Rest assured I learned my lesson, I'll stick to the crabcake platter this time - still a ton of food, but manageable. And I'll still be able to enjoy the eclair!

[dwippies]

sounds great to me... hope this time tom and donna are around to come with us too. let me know a few days before so i can make reservations again.

[kevin d]

Will do - looking forward to it!

[Amy B.]

Everything still looking good for 1/13 at 6pm? If so, we'll see you at Gunnings!!!!

[dwippies]

resounding YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kevin d]

I'll see everyone there at 6 tomorrow

[2hokies]

Thanks for posting the time....I couldn't remember if it was 6 or 6:30.

[kevin d]

Yep - and also don't forget that the Ravens game starts at 4:30 on Saturday, which will probably have just a slight effect on 495/95. I'll leave earlier than usual, if I get there too early and have to wait at the bar I'll tough it out

[dwippies]

the traffic should be well past by then kev but just in case i am sure you can suffer thru a PBR

[kevin d]

Maybe, but here's a little secret - I haven't had a beer in 10 days! See what getting really sick can do to a man's desire to get drunk? Ah, but now you'll also be able to see what some good drugs can do toward a man's desire to eat like a horse and drink some beer while he watches football. Yeah, I'm sure you've never experienced that before

Sick? Excuse me, bartender? Another PBR please - and could you turn up the volume?

[2hokies]

Thanks for the warning about the game! Shouldn't affect us too much on the way up, but maybe on the way home. See y'all later! arty:

[kevin d]

Those of us who were planning on going to this gathering are already aware, but for the rest of you - we ended up having to postpone at the last minute due to health issues. Not only am I still a bit sick with a sinus infection and bronchitis, but now Sherry and Murray are both sick as well. Yikes! Seems like the slow winter we've had on the east coast is taking it's revenge with swift malice

Wishing the queen and her consort a speedy recovery, at which time we'll reschedule our next crabcake party.

Hi Gang

Well once everybody is feeling better please include myself and my lady (Janet) in for the bash.

Unfortunatly I work some weekends and can"t always be counted on for attendence due to a fluctuating schedule,but would love to attend when I can.

We are going for our winter stay Feb 17 thru March 3rd this year.Kinda helps us tolerate the cold easier.

Gunnings is a great choice.Looking forward to hearing some good Aruba stories.

Best regards,John and Janet

[dwippies]

john and janet, we will figure out a date after this weekend. kevin is moving this weekend and he is the great planner. we should announce a date some time in the next week.

[kevin d]

I'd like to bypass the weekend of the super bowl, which leaves us either Feb 10th or 17th. Anyone with a pref please let us know...

[Oldmics]

10th is a winner for me and my lady (unless work rears its ugly head)

The 17th we will be on the Island of Paradise.Of course we could move the party there !!!!

John and Janet

[2hokies]

10th is best for us. C&B

[Amy B.]

Both February 10 & 17 work for us. Chris' schedule is subject to change, but you know that I'll be there! arty:

[dwippies]

well kev, aka the prince, aka studly man, it looks like 2/10 is the date.

ok everyone... 6pm, gunnings!

[kevin d]

Count me (and all my aliases) in for the 10th at 6 PM!

[daleroux]

We are really disappointed that we won't be able to join the group on 2/10. Tom will be driving back from a guys ski trip in New Hampshire that day.

Donna & Tom

[dwippies]

donna, you can come without him!

Donna & Tom

[daleroux]

Okay. Why not? . I'll come without Tom. I've been wanting to try Gunnings. I can't believe I've lived in Baltimore forever and have not been there. I even grew up on the West Side of town. See y'all then.


Donna

[dwippies]

donna... did you get my email? i had sent you one. couldn't find your phone number. it is hiding in some phone book.

[Oldmics]

So far no work scheduled for the 10th so count Janet and myself in.

John/Janet

[kevin d]

Good deal, sounds like this is shaping up to be a pretty good sized group! By my count I have:
Sherry + Murray
Kevin
Cathy + Brett (and kids?)
Donna
Amy + Chris
John + Janet

10+ so far - who else wants to come??

[2hokies]

Right now, looks like just Cathy and Bradley. Brett and Andrew will be doing some Boy Scout winter camping . If this changes I'll let you know ASAP!
Cathy

I would love to, but ~ poor me ~ I'll be on Aruba!

Poor Elaine. LOL.

P.S. Your almost there.

[andrea j.]

ahh boy scout winter camping!
paul and kevin have done it for years and really enjoy it.
i cannot imagine any aspect of it being fun.
we are heading to aruba in the morning and paul just got an email asking if he'd fill in for the scoutmaster of their old troop for a winter camping expedition up off of the kancamagus this coming weekend. brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, nope, he will be busy sitting in the sun and cannot go.

have a nice dinner at gunnings.

Cathy

[kevin d]

I went camping once in west virginia where there was tons of snow, to the point that you flattened it out and set your tent up directly on a bed of snow. Doesn't that sound inviting??

Elaine, there's still time to cancel that trip to Aruba so you can come eat crabs instead - get your priorities straight!

Have a great trip, ladies

[daleroux]

Sherry, HI!! Count me in and I will plan to drive up. The website is making me hungry. I'd love to see everyone.

Kathleen

[dwippies]

sounds great kathleen.

[kevin d]

Glad to hear you're coming Kathleen! And to those of you that I let down last time by not eating as much as advertised, I promise to do better this time. I'll have spent the day in Atlantic City playing blackjack, and will be properly hungry - but I'll leave that mega-platter for Chris to tackle, I'm gonna stick to the crabcakes. And of course the giant eclair!

[dwippies]

that platter is the biggest i have ever seen. i have to assume it is 8-10,000 calories on one plate. in fact, if if recall, they put yours on two overfilled platters. one was broiled the other fried.

i am flipping between the crab cakes and a fish sandwich. maybe amy and i can split. 1/2 sandwich and 1 crab cake each?
