Winni"Pig" Peep Meet - Mark IX - Page 3

Lite · 09-24-2010

If Andrew is in town that weekend we would love to come. We just won't know till that week. He has a crazy work schedule that makes things impossible to plan!! Hopefully we can make it work and squeeze in last minute...

Bumper · 09-24-2010

Hope you can make it. With 14 so far, we'll be at two tables anyway, so we can likely get you a couple of chairs, even on short notice. We can always put a bit more water in the soup.

Lady Di & her hubby are a tentative yes, she does work but will be a little bit late. She does have to check it out with the hubby as well but thinks it's a go.

We're new to the forum but have been going to Playa since 1998. Leaving tomorrow for another two weeks of sun and sand in Playa. Never knew there was a Winnipeg peep group and we'd like to attend your function on October 23rd.

Well, isn't that great news. You'll be most welcome to join us. There isn't a structured, formal "group" per se, but a bunch of us locals get together a few times a year to time to eat too much, and enjoy each other's company. It's good group that rarely bite. The Playa Info forum gives us a convenient way to communicate and plan our Peep Meets. If you're interested, you can do a search and see reports on our previous get togethers. I hope this thread gives you all the information you need. If not, just ask, and we'll be pleased to help you out. Watch the thread for updates. Welcome aboard, Kerry and Mary. We're looking forward to meeting you on the 23rd.

A-h-h-h-h.....life is GOOD!!

Okay-doke then, Peeps. Here it is October 1st. Please remember we're hoping for an indication by the 4th, of how many happy diners we can anticipate on the 23rd. At last count, we're up to a total of 16, which would make this our largest get together so far. With that number, we're already looking at a couple of tables anyway, and there would still be room for some more folks to join us before tables are filled. We've got a couple of tentatives to hear from, but it looks like it will be a good sized group. At this rate, we may have to consider name tags. Please let Eva or myself know if you'd care to come along.

Sunco · 10-02-2010

Well, I have a nightmare the night before that when I went to the restaurant to ask to reserve two tables for our gathering, I was told that they only have one table left

I broke out in cold sweat and woke myself up. So today, I should say yesterday (Friday) when I went for lunch I made a reservation for two tables

Saw Lady Di last night, only she will be attending & she will be late getting there (about 745ish) but she can't eat the guest of honor anyway and we chow down for about 2 hours so, she won't miss much.

Bumper · 10-13-2010

That's dandy news, Jackie. It will be good to see Di again.

That gets us up to 17 diners, Peeps. That may increase by another couple as some folks won't know their availability until pretty much the last minute. In any case, it will definitely be the largest get together the Manitoba Mexican Mafia has ever arranged.

Eva has a good handle on a preliminary menu, with a variety of delights on it to please everybody. She's suggesting hot and sour soup with no shrimp, egg rolls, BBQ pork, lemon chicken, fish, satay beef, a shrimp dish (to be avoided by some folks) and vegetables. The Peking duck goes without saying, of course, and it's prepared in two different ways. If you have a particular favourite dish you'd like to add, that's always possible. As you can see, nobody is likely to go hungry.

Billing-wise, what we've done on the food in the past, is to just split up the total equally, amongst all in attendance. As for drinks, we'll run separate individual checks for our liquid refreshments. It's worked out well on previous occasions.

So, we'll look forward to seeing everyone on the 23rd. Bring your appetite.

Bumper · 10-16-2010

Just a week away. Are you ready? I'm practicing. How about you?

Any more additions to our guest list?

Laurelbay · 10-19-2010

Hi everyone - is it too late for 2 more? We are from Winnipeg - 5 time visitors to Playa. We are booked to go back in Feb 2011. Would like to meet other Playa lovers!

zelda · 10-20-2010

You'll be most welcome to join us, Laurelbay! Bumper will be along shortly and add you to the list. Look forward to meeting you!

By the way, is your nickname a reference to a street? A friend that I've known since childhood lives on Laurel Bay!

We'll always find room for a couple more Peeps. You'll be most welcome. I'll add you to the list. Now we're up to 19. You got names? Any more hungry folks out there?
