So, looks like we're having a Shinda on Apr. 9th, at my place.

The discussion regarding it has happened in at least two different threads, so I figured it was time for it to get a thread of its own. [Big Grin]

Lunch at noon? Or one-ish, if that's preferable?

Anyone have any allergies or other food issues I should know about?

I'm allergic to not getting to go to Shindas. [Grumble]

Superstation is allergic to anything milk-related. A few other things, also, but nothing unavoidable. PB&J sandwiches probably wouldn't work. Though after the week away for BobnDanaCon, we might not be up for another trip. We'll have to see.

I would say yes, but we might miss Emma's birthday party. (She turns one on April 5th.)

I've got to talk with hubby about it, but I think we'll probably be there. We'll be in the general area then for sure. As we get closer to the date, we should check back in.

Good to know. *makes note* Get food for Shinda.

Not a problem -- no milk-based substances are on the menu. Wasn't planning on PB&Js either. [Wink]

*nod* Understood. The only reason I'll be able to manage is I know that week at work will be particularly light -- and I'm not traveling to Iowa with kids in tow.

Does that mean you're not coming or you're not bringing kids?

Oh, they already have. [Big Grin] And they'll be home for the Shinda.

Its the three extra tickets and such that would be the main issue.

I'd offer to have towels waiting, but I figure you'll dry off somewhere between Texas and California.

I have towels, and a good notion of what will be on the menu.

What I need now is an approximate headcount.

Stan, you're coming up to join us, yes?

I3? jeniwren? Meese? saxons? Doves?

Who am I forgetting and will kick myself for it later?

I don't think we'll be able to make it, because my parents are coming to town that weekend and I expect to be busy entertaining them. I'll let you know if plans change, though.

I'll let you know this weekend. I'm in Buffalo this week (whee!) and will be home late tomorrow. Then I can talk to hubby about the agenda for Saturday...whether he wants to do SeaWorld or if we can go a little more mellow, sleep in and then go celebrate your birthday!

If we don't make it, I'm going to be in SoCal for work sometime in late April, and would like to get together for dinner or something while I'm there. I'll be in Orange, wherever that is.

Sounds good, jeniwren. [Smile] *hums Mellow Yellow*

Orange as in City of Orange, or Orange as in Orange County? We grow citrus here -- there are lots of "Orange"s! [Big Grin]

rivka, the family concensus is that we're going to SeaWorld. [Frown]

But as I said before, sometime toward the end of April or beginning of May, I will be spending at least one week in the City of Orange, for work. You anywhere near there? I'd like to buy you dinner. [Smile]

Shan, happy early birthday. [Big Grin]

jeniwren, Mapquest says about 40 miles and 45 minutes. I'd guess an hour is more realistic.

Potential complication: you're talking about the week of Pesach, it sounds like. But we'll have to see what can be worked out. [Smile]

Have fun at Sea World.

Stan and I3, I'll email you directions tomorrow night.

Current plans (all plans subject to change until they have occurred, and then still maybe a little bit) are that all four of the Moose clan will attend. Just so you know.

Jeniwren, I hope we might get a chance to see you when you're nearby, too.

I'm not particularly fond of cauliflower, but Superstation is really the only one who can't eat some stuff. Allergies to milk, peas (probably all legumes), and egg whites.

Speaking of which, we were wondering if you could either (a) direct us to a place where we can get kosher meat, or (b) purchase some we could then buy from you. We've been told there's some sort of national shortage on kosher products (though that might just be Hebrew National, which is the only kosher brand of anything our regular grocery store carries), and we can't get anything but hot dogs. We'd like to throw a better variety of stuff to our little one, but it seems that every lunchmeat-type thing out there has milk products of some sort.

So, um, yeah.
