• • • Who would like to join me for dinner Thursday evening before the retreat begins?

This year the committee has found a very special place for us to get to know one another and have some great hometown cooking. I have been told it is one of the BEST and MOST POPULAR restaurants in Branson.

We will be dining at Andy Williams Moon River Grill.
Reservations are set for 6pm on the 20th.

Let me remind you, this is NOT included with your retreat fees. You will have to sign up here and then send in $25 (per person) to Saved Sinnr before May first. Your guests (DH's) are welcome to join us.

This will be a sit down meal and the Chef is going to prepare some of Andy's Favorites for us. You will have your choice of four. Please make your selection from the following and let me know as soon as possible. Everything needs to be turned in by May First - please do not delay.


Andy's Favorites
════════════

Breaded Fish & Chips served with fresh vegetable

Famous Chicken Pot Pie with savory chicken, fresh peas, carrots, celery and onions served with fresh vegetable.

Gourmet Vegetable Lasagna with fresh vegetables, blended cheeses and pasta layered with an Italian red sauce and served with garlicky cheese bread.

Mouth Watering Meatloaf served with mashed potatoes, creamy brown gravy and fresh vegetable.

Your dinner will include coffee or tea, bread service and dessert will be Chef's choice. A diabetic dessert is available upon request. Please specify with your dinner choice.

Jayardi, e-mailed our choices to you.Patty j and I will be coming to the dinner. Anxious to meet everyone. Sue

I will be there - can't wait to see everyone again. I will pm you my choice.

DH and I are in for the dinner! I'll email our choices and Lindsay will get her check soon. Sounds good! Can't wait to meet everyone!

• • • Twenty-four already.

I don't think the airline I'm flying with has even scheduled their flights for September yet, so I don't know if I'll be able to get there in time for the early bird dinner.

If I sign up and don't make it in time for the dinner, will you pack me a doggie bag, jayardi????? LOL

• • • Even if they won't, we'll figure something out. Let's wait to see what your schedule will be.

Well, at least Lois knows what airline she's flying. I haven't even decided whether I'm driving, DH is driving, or I'm flying. I haven't even given any thought to room reservations. However, I do know what I'm bringing for Show and Tell, LOL.

I have 210 days until I have to be there, so that's plenty of time. Gulp.

I'm coming!!! Now what do I want HUMMMMM Will get $ in the mail tomorrow.Can't wait!!!!!

I'm having a problem, What to pick? Fish & chips I do like them. Chicken pot pie it's good. The lasangina well I do like meat with it. or the meatloaf. I'm thinking, I'm thinking What is the diabetic desert? Or should I just order the regular desert? So mamy questions, so few answers. I'm thinking, I'm thinking.....
Do you know if they have shrimp on the memu? If so the fish and chips is out.

Handie Handie Handie ... WHAT are we gonna do with you? The menu they gave us is a special pricing for large groups... it includes your dinner, dessert, drink, bread, and gratuity ... so IF you could choose from that, it would make it easy And you still have a couple months to make up your mind

I thought I would post a pic I took on one of my trips to the fun city ... just to show y'all where we'll be eating

I KNOW y'all are just gonna love it !

Handie ... upon reading what I wrote this morning at 5am, and being up since 3am ... I didn't sound as sweet as I should have ... I hope you didn't think I was giving you a hard time ... it WAS sweet, but I forgot the sugar on top

Here's another PIC of the fabulous restaurant ... and I guarantee you ... WHATEVER you choose, it will be FABULOUS !!! These recipes are from Andy's mom's own cookbook, and these are what HE ate as a boy growing up ... so they are delicious as well as treasured!

NOW take your time Now if you need a guinea pig to test it all out, I will give give give and go down there and have lunch and try all the choices (altho not all at once ) I've been dying to try the pot pie !

I'm not asking for anything differnt, my question about shrimp is not because I want shrimp but because usualy when they have fish and chips they also have shrimp and they fry the fish in the same oil that they fry the shrimp. I can not eat shrimp and I also can not eat fish or fries that have been fried in the same oil as the shrimp. So I will probuly go for the meatloaf.
As for the desert some times the diabetic desert is not as good for you as the regular desert. I'm still thinking ...thinking ... thinking... But if you go try the pot pie let me know how it is.
Any time I eat at a new place I always ask a lot of questions, I would rather the waitress think that I'm a pain in the po____t than go home and be sick.

Good question there Handie I sure understand about your shrimp ordeal ... and that's a bummer, cause to me they are SO good !

I will be trying the pot pie one day and I'll let you know ... And hubby will try the meatloaf for ya ... he's a meatloaf hound, and he gets enough chicken with my cookin

I love fish and never can get enough of it but that pot pie sounds really good! Chicky-eat there and tell us just how good that pot pie really is!! I know we are asking alot of you and I know how hard this is but could you please? LOL!!

well ... I CAN be a giver like that

Put my check in the mailbox today Chicky!

I was reading some reviews of the place on line & people seem to really like that Chicken Pot Pie! But I've always been a fan of CPP

YUM ! I'm excited to go to Andy's again

• • • A few payments have been received.

Who else is going to join us?

I'm coming but oh how hard it is to choose! Lasagna, nope. But after that I am completely undecided.... Chicken Pot Pie, YUM! Fish and Chips YUM! Meatloaf YUM!

I am like Lois, not sure what time my flight will get in, or if I will even get in on Thursday. I will let you know as soon as I do. I was planning on doing this, just want to be there. lol

The ponies have my check

I can hardly wait - MEATLOAF never makes it's way to my house ... DSIL does almost all the cooking and he is attached at the hip to the broiler or grill.
So .. meatloaf for me ... my mouth is already watering.
I love fish n chips, but I'd be afraid of getting catfish and ain't no way it's crossing this city girls lips!
PS ... sign me up thank you - looks like a wonderful place to get us all together.

Hey Savd-I absolutely FORBID you and Rainbow to eat without me!!!!

I'll be there Jayardi-with bells on my toes. I'll zip you a check in snail mail. Hmm-could be a hard decision on the menu-- I'll let you know.

Sooo-when's lunch girls???

Pam

• • • Just a reminder, checks go to Saved Sinnr and I need an e-mail.

I put my check in the mail this morning to SavedSinnr. DH and I both will be there. I'll e-mail you in a few days with our choices. I know what I would like to have, but the Cardioligst I'm seeing tomorrow may have something to say concerning my diet. I don't want to choose for DH either.

• • • Hope it's good news Meme.

I've been kind of watching too ... hope all is well with Meme

• • • Out of sight out of mind. {tsk, tsk}

That little ol' storm ain't gonna keep us away. Now who's going to join me?

Sent my check for DD and I last Monday--SS hopefully should have it by now.

• • • New payments received by SS and recorded above.

Sent out my check yesterday and just emailed choices. Hmmm I wonder if we keep this up if the whole place will be ours .
Can't wait to meet everyone.

Happy to see so many will be able to attend the dinner. Should be alot of and laughter. Sue

• • • Hey Dani, I can't wait to see you in Branson. I love meeting all my challengers. Are you planning to play this year?

I'm driving to retreat from Cincinnati area, and checked out...baseball schedule..St louis is playing at home the days I would drive through it and i was debating about going to Thursday, day game, until I realized I'd miss dinner! So, have to rethink plans
