Lisle/Naperville IL

[Ralph]

Indeed! Count me (us) in!

[Isabella]

Would anyone be interested in starting a Cooking Light supper club?

[wendylee]

Yes, my husband and I would be very interested.

[Dar]

Yes, would be interested in a local area, Naperville supper club. Please keep me posted. I like trying new recipes from "Cooking Light".

[Isabella]

Great! I have to be honest I don't know where to begin with this. Any suggestions?

[Isabella]

It looks as if there are approximately 7 of us interested in pursuing this. I think we should keep it a nice small group. Would everyone like to meet in the near future to get acquainted? I know it will be tough around the holidays. should we schedule a day?

[wendylee]

I like the idea of a small group, and I think we should all meet and get acquainted. How about at a restaurant? That way no one has to cook or plan for the event in their home.

I live in Villa Park, not as far west as Lisle and Naperville. Going to Lisle and Naperville is not a problem for me. If we get a supper club going, would all of you be willing to come to Villa Park? I hope so!

[Ralph]

Briefly skimming other threads about clubs suggest just that: Meeting at a restaurant to discuss how best to proceed. I haven't perused them further as to what all is done (do we each make a particular course from each month's issue?, etc.).
With the holidays right around the corner, it'd be tough to get together. Weeknights aren't good for us & many weekend nights are tied up this month, but a weekend lunch would might work (or the rare night we're free!).

[Ralph]

That'll work for us. Just where?
I don't think we all need to splurge at someplace like Allgauer's; perhaps Pancake Cafe or Egg Harbor? Somewhere else?
May I further suggest e-mail communication. I believe all of ours are posted in our profiles (that's the face/question mark icon immediately to the right of the posted date & time). I think we're all listed....

[Isabella]

Since it is agreed that this month is going to be very hectic why don't we plan our first meeting for January. I know it seems very far off, but it'll be here before we know it. How does that first weekend in January look for everyone (January 8 & 9th). Brunch or breakfast might be a nice idea so as not to interfere with everyone's day.

[wendylee]

The 8th or 9th works for us. Egg Harbor sounds good. I'm not familiar with Pancake Cafe, but we're flexible - just let me know where it is.

[Isabella]

Since WendyLee's e-mail was not posted within her profile I am going to respond to the last message of meeting in January. I was actually looking at a 2000 calendar when I listed those dates. That first weekend is actually january 6 & 7. How about the 7th at Egg Harbor at 11 am? Where is Egg Harbor located? I will e-mail those that are interested but not on the posting.

[Ralph]

Wendylee, Pancake Cafe is at 75th & Rickert, behind Ace, near the drivers services facility. You must try it!
Isabella, Egg Harbor is downtown (Naperville) at the corner of Jackson & Webster. Don't foresee any conflict w/the 7th.

[Dar]

Looking forward to meeting at Egg Harbor downtown Naperville 11 a.m. the first Sat. of Jan. 2001 as previously mentioned.
Dar & Glenn

[wendylee]

The 7th at 11 am at Egg Harbor in downtown Naperville sounds good. See you there.

[Isabella]

The 7th is actually Sunday. Is that still okay with you Dar?
