Michigan Dopers, **Sr. Olives** and I are coming home for the holidays. I’m pretty much booked through Christmas but after that I have some wiggle room until January. Anybody want to stir up some trouble between the 26th and the 31st? I propose we do a restaurant-like thing since I obviously don’t have a place to host a party (but I totally would if I could!) **cmyk** is obligated to come this time, or I’m pressing charges. None of that ‘‘I have to woooork,’’ crap. We all know that nobody in Michigan is employed. ---

We will keep an eye on this thread - we wil be in town for the holiday visiting **Tom Scud** ’s siblings, spouses, and adorable 3-year-old niece, heading home on the 28th sometime. Specific plans are still up in the air, though, so don’t plan around us. ---

Tracyfish and i are, predictably, in with this. To my knowledge, the only thing we have is dinner at her aunt’s on the 26th. ---

Okay, I have a request. We could scope out some killer middle eastern food in Dearborn. The middle eastern food out here cannot even compare. We’re deprived. Anyone have any recommendations? ---

There’s a restaurant on Michigan Ave, about two blocks west on the other side of the street from the Arab American museum…I can’t remember what it’s called but I have been there twice and it’s _excellent_.
