Ruby/Nola, your email isn't showing in the publicly available profile (and that's alright, it's a security feature)... not to worry, I think I can find you in the LowCarb Canada email digest, right?

Kara, don't worry about it.
Your #1, well not everyone necessarily sets the email notification, or even if they do, doesn't know this "hello from another victorian" notification is specifically about an upcoming decision or lunch fest.
Your #2, it's no biggie, we'll just move on.
Your #3, Ruby's suggested a couple ... and all places that have 'normal' food have carby side dishes. period. and it'll be that way til I or someone else opens an LC bistro! the trick is finding a place where it's easier to pick apart or order sides or something.

I'm perfectly fine with Ferris', I haven't tried it yet. Guaranteed seats on the terrace sound good. That's 3 of us at least... and I'm pretty sure DizzyD (you AWAKE out there, D??) would be available.
