Spring 2010 Get Together - GTA and Surrounding Area

Beesie

Thanks, everyone!  Hopefully the dates will work out next time.  I'd love to meet you all.

Back to cooking.  Plain matzoh may be boring but when you bake it up with onions, mushrooms and peppers, or apples, raisins and cinnamon, it can be really delicious!

I used to love when my mother made a matzoh bra (don't know how else to spell it) .... like french toast made with matzoh... very yummy and very rich with lots of eggs. Also a "bubeleh"....when she would take the egg white and fluff it up, put in some yolk carefully and then cook .. it was a fluffy omelet.........these were two of our standard and special Passover treats. My mother died of breast cancer and the anniversary of her death is this coming Wednesday night according to the Jewish calendar. It's always during Passover.

Just wanted to let you know that I am fairly certain Pickle Barrel has a Passover menu.

Sherri,

I know someone that went to the Rainforest Cafe and they tell me that it is an absolutely gorgeous atmosphere, however very, very expensive menu....   Charmaine

This 'Pickle Barrel Get Together' sounds like it is gonna be a good time.  I was just invited by Sherri yesterday I think it was.   Unfortunately at the moment I am not feeling the greatest because of my RADS burn...    I do hope that in the future I will have the opportunity to meet you all and that we will have another 'Get Together' in the Toronto area.

I live in Durham Region (Pickering Village - Ajax).  I also do not drive...   so I generally take the Go Bus in to Toronto, or try to catch a ride with people ....

Have a great time everybody...  Charmaine

Hi, just wanted to let everyone coming know that I've just done a final confirmation of the numbers with the restaurant so all is set for Monday. I'll be heading there after I have my radiation treatment at Credit Valley Hospital.  Looking forward to seeing you there!

We had a lovely time today with nine ladies attending.  It was wonderful meeting face-to-face. The company was great and so was the food/service at Pickle Barrel (Yorkdale location).  Stay tuned as there is going to be a photo posted soon. 

Looking forward to connecting again in the future!

Sherri, thanks for getting this organized. It was great to meet everyone face-to-face and have fun together. It sounds like a trip to Niagara on the Lake to see Linda might be our next outing.

Sherri look forward to seeing the pic.. 

As for Niagara on the Lake, is that around Niagara Falls?

It sure was an excellent gathering - could have spent way more time together with lots more to discuss. Photos have begun their circuitous route to this thread. Thanks again Sherri for organizing this.

Great time. And what a sweet waiter.  He is probably still trying to figure our little group out!

I certainly enjoyed meeting everyone - and the food was excellent, lots of choices so there was something for everyone. Good decision to go there. Well done, Sherri. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Just to let you all know, I'm going to be on Internet TV this Thursday morning at 11a.m. you just go to www.thatchannel.com for the broadcast, it's called Let It Heal Live. If you can't see it but want to, let me know and I can send you the link 48 hours after the broadcast. It's about breast health.

I had a wonderful time.... it was a terrific group of ladies.  Hopefully we can do this again with more adding to the group. I managed to shop for almost 2 hours and bought nothing.  I was too busy re-living the conversations we had.

Waaaaaaaaaa! I'm missing from the pic. I am such bad company right now with my pain that I don't even like myself! Was hoping DH would drive me to work and then on to Yorkdale but he had an opportunity to work so he took  it. I took the day off work instead......
